The murals are coming fast and furious now that the twins are on a roll. Hot on the heels of work in New York, Naestved, and Minsk, Os Gemeos have now moved on to Lithuania for their latest project. For the third Vilnius Street Art Festival, the legendary duo from Brazil painted one of their classic yellow characters climbing out of a wall, smartly leaving some of the in situ graffiti in place on the wall.

During our recent travels abroad to catch the opening of Banksy's Dismaland, we also made a few stops to see friends of ours across the pond. One was a visit to Pryce Lee's massive Birmingham compound that serves as both his lair and studio as he prepped for his upcoming show at Amsterdam's The Garage. The exhibition entitled Ceasefire is a step up to another level for the bi-continental artist. Utilizing more than just his signature bullets, Pryce's fresh works reaches into his arsenal for additional ammo to get his messages across while playing on the ambiguous and often murky term "ceasefire." Lee calls into question the fine line between war and peace by invoking icons often associated with both ends of the spectrum. As you can see in our studio visit, doves, bullets and shattered glass are all par for the course. Words like elegance and chaos come to mind when determining what the works from the exhibition inspire. It's rare to see concept and execution converge at a high level when talking about the art world, but after a visit to Mr. Lee's workshop, it's not hard to come to expect  that from such a meticulous craftsman. This will definitely one of the more exciting exhibitions to kick off this year's art season. This show opens this Friday, so stop by if you're fortunate enough to be in Amsterdam. Until then check out an inside look at PL's studio space. Discuss Pryce Lee here.

After a summer series of works in his hometown of Paris, Invader has moved on to Italy to put up his next batch of work. The central Italian city of Ravenna is known for its superb Byzantine mosaics, so it is only natural that the French artist has chosen to increase his street activity there. This second invasion featured 15 new pieces with inspiration that ranged from the architecture, culture, and sights of the area. Discuss Invader here.

Returning to Boston for the third and final piece in a series of public works on the tallest building in the city, JR (interviewed) decided place his new work on the 44th to 50th floor. Standing at 150 feet tall and 86 feet wide, the piece is the tallest work ever envisioned by the French photograffeur. Started without much fanfare, the piece at former John Hancock tower developed over several days as residents of Beantown speculated on the artist behind it all. The mysterious figure of the anonymous man can be seen at 200 Clarendon Street through mid November. Discuss JR here.

Recently, LNY (Lunar New Year) completed a stunning new mural for the city of Newark's Model Neighborhood Initiative project at 258 Jelliff Ave. Inspired by what writer Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote to his son in Between the World and Me, the wall is entitled The Reflective Black Body. Coates writes - "I tell you now that the question of how one should live within a black body, within a country lost in the Dream, is the question of my life, and the pursuit of this question, I have found, ultimately answers itself."

After a successful first event in 2014 (covered), the public arts program No Limit Borås in Sweden is back this year with a stellar list of artist. Chinese artist DALeast (interviewed) was one of the people invited to paint in the city of Borås, an opportunity he took to paint one of his expansive bird murals.

Other participants include Tristan Eaton, Logan Hicks, Pichi&Avo, Joe Iurato, Dulk, INTI, Laurence Vallières, Curiot, Robert Proch, and David Zinn (more on these artists later).

It's been seven years since the Goldman family reopened the mural spot that Keith Haring worked his magic at on the corner of Bowery & Houston St. in Manhattan's Lower East Side/Chinatown area. Since then, an explosion of great art can be seen in street by all who come to the Big Apple. RETNA, Kenny Scharf, Barry McGee, Shepard Fairey, AIKO, Os Gemeos, JR, Keith Haring, CRASH, Faile, How & NOSM, REVOK/POSE, Swoon, Maya Hayak, and Ron English have all taken aim to arrest motion at the iconic location. The one thing missing was the cherry on top of this ice cream sundae... Who would that be? Only a legend of the global graffiti movement for the past five decades - the one and only New York City native Futura. His contribution to the legendary wall is a piece entitled Concrete Jungle. Utilizing colorless blacks, whites, and grays, the master worked tirelessly with his spray cans to create a street masterpiece that captures the cold yet relentless energy that defines NYC. Try looking at one part of the mural and telling your eyes to stay still. Enjoy a detailed look at the jungle below as well as some photos from the tribute piece Os Gemeos left across the street when they stopped by for a visit. Discuss Futura here.

Last week, Urban Nation curated an event in Reykjavic in association with the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival where participants were paired with an audio artist who provided the visual artist with a song, a title, a poem, a quote or a book that greatly influenced their work. The series of works was entitled Wall Poetry and featured the works of  D*Face, Elle, Evoca1, Tankpetrol, Cara, Ernest Zacharevic, Telmomiel, and DeihXLF (seen here) near venues where the bands will be playing during the festival from November 4-8 in Iceland's capital. For his part, DEIH was inspired by his vision of a "waterfall", which was a song from VÖK. Created usual the Spanish street artist signature use of vibrant colors and comic-inspired imagery, the mural was nice subtle interpretation of his subject matter. Photo credit: Nika Kramer.

Earlier this week, Faith47 finished a mural in East Harlem on the corner of 103 Street and Madison Avenue entitled Estamos Todos Los Que Cabemos, a part of MonumentArt, presented by the La Marqueta Retoña initiative. The wall was painted as part of the project focused on the issue of immigration with the imagery of migratory birds chosen for the fact their their patterns ignore human borders on a map. The South African artist further states - "We forget that the dividing lines specifying countries were merely drawn by politically hungry men. In reality, the earth is open. There are no countries, no borders, it belongs to no one. We are transient visitors and should travel as we please. For fans in New York who are lucky enough to be able to see this piece in person, get ready for a solo from her on November 9th at Jonathan LeVine Gallery.

Earlier this month, this year's Scotiabank Nuit Blanche opened up to the public in Toronto. One of the participating artists this year is French photogapher JR (interviewed) with several projects to engage his fans in Canada. One of these is seen above, the continuation of the TED winner's Inside Out project where people are asked to have their photos taken in large scale black & white format at a mobile photo booth and then pasted as public art or for some political motive in certain instances. In this case, the shots were set in a spiral in Nathan Phillips Square forming a striking conglomeration of portraits. Another project was described by JR in the video below and seen below was where visitors were invited to look into a camera and have their eye projected onto the outside of the historic Campbell House. Discuss JR here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2U4utWL8II

Last month, as part of the Murals In the Market festival, Luke Chueh (interviewed) painted a rare public arts mural in Detroit's Eastern Market. The Los Angeles-based painter decided to go with an image inspired by his thoughts of the Motor City as being the home of house music and DJ culture as we know it. For fans of Chueh's sad bear series of works, The Soundtrack (To My Life) is certainly instantly recognizable and striking in large scale form. Featured artists also include: 2501, Askew, Beau Stanton, Brian Lacey, Denial, Ellen Rutt, Eugene Carland, Fel3000ft, Glenn Barr, Hannah Stouffer, Hebru Brantley, Hygienic Dress League, Jeff Soto, Jesse Kassel, Jonny Alexander, Kashink, Kobie Soloman, Kwest, Madsteez, Marlo Broughton, Martha Cooper, Maxx242, Zak Meers, Meggs, Michelle Tanguay, Miss Van, Monica Canilao, Naturel, NNII, NoseGo, Ouizi, Persue, Rick Williams, Rone, Ryan Doyle, Shark Toof, Sydney G.

Project 256 is a unique non-commercial campaign that launched several days ago in Paris. By combining street art and digital technology, the innovative project aims to ease some of the suffering of people that call those same streets their home. The concept of this campaign is based on creating a portrait of a homeless person in the public space. The artist then adds a unique QR code next to the work, which leads to a video of an interview with the homeless person as well as enables anyone to send a direct Bitcoin donation. These donations can be used for food, shelter or bigger purchases, all by using an old recycled mobile device that is donated to the homeless person. You can find a more detailed info about this breakthrough project on the Project 256 official website where they just revealed their first piece created by Herakut in Paris. Using their distinctive expressive style, Hera and Akut painted a portrait of Karim, who then shared his story with the world in hopes of getting some support through this project.
