what your eyes can see.

tired of being forced to stare at lapband billboards while stuck in traffic? there are a couple movements happening in los angeles and various cities in the uk featuring artists from all over the globe. ron english has been successfully (and mostly illegally) doing this for years and it looks like its catching on or people are just sick of looking at garbage everyday. lala arts, responsible for the ones seen in los angeles had financial backing behind them and the billboards were professionally printed and installed while brandalism in the uk took the good ol' fashioned approach and pasted them. here are a few flicks for your viewing pleasure.

artist feature: aakash nihalani.

its been a while since my last artist feature mostly due to the fact that a majority of the shows i've been to lately have been have been all over the internet already. i live in LA where most people go to art openings for the free drinks and what seems like armies of photographers trying to beat each other to get the best shots and take credit for whatever it is they credit themselves for. aakash nihalani is an artist from NY who uses brightly colored electrical tape to create 3-D geometric patterns on just about anything. i'd been seeing his stuff for the past couple years but had no idea who the man behind the art was until i somehow stumbled across his tumblr account of all things. (thanks interweb jesus.) from street installations to canvases to corporate boardrooms this guy is killing it with his magic neon tape. see more at his super dope website here: AAKASH NIHALANI
