Tom Gould x Anna Delany "Two of A Kind" Opens Saturday 4/21

Our crew member Tom Gould is having his first and last (for some time) show this Saturday 4/21!  This will be Tom's goodbye show before he leaves (unfortunately) for a long time back to New Zealand.  Also, this will be your last chance to pick up any prints from this talented photographer in the United States for many years to come.  You will be missed Tom!

Tom Gould x Anna Delany "Two of A Kind"
Saturday 4/21 from 6-10pm

Klughaus Gallery
47 Monroe Street
New York, NY 10002 (Chinatown/LES)

CARNAGE #2 - Profits will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project #RIPSURE

I'm usually pretty hesitant when it comes to "graffiti" for sale by people who don't do graffiti (to make profits.)  However, these Carnage Zines are put together pretty well and all profits are being donated to the Wounded Warrior Project as well as keeping the memory of SURE alive.  In addition, knowing that SURE's family was supportive of this project made me more comfortable with being on board. With that said, please buy a copy to show your support!  Limited copies of these zines are also available at Klughaus Gallery in Chinatown (open Thurs.-Sun. at 47 Monroe Street)  Grab them as soon as possible because the last issue sold out pretty quickly. -D



"Carnage #2, featuring NYC’s ATM crew, will be available starting Friday, 2/17 at Klughaus Gallery (47 Monroe Street) and at carnagenyc.bigcartel.com starting Saturday, 2/18.

Issue #2 consists of 68 black and white pages with a double-layered, screenprinted cover in 300 hand-numbered copies and features an extensive interview with the crew and hundreds of previously unreleased images. Each copy comes with at least one handwritten sticker from an ATM member. $12 plus shipping.

There will also be a box set available in an edition of 25. The box set contains Carnage #2, a set of handwritten stickers by Kosbe, Ader, Faust, Overconsumer, Rex and Dceve, a 5x7” C-print, numbered and signed by Ray Mock, a Carnage T-shirt designed by Kosbe and a few other goodies. $75 plus shipping."


ALL profits from the sale of this issue will be donated to the USO’s Wounded Warrior Fund.

Videograf Productions 90's Nostalgia

Meyhem mentioning Videograf today got me looking up some clips on Youtube.  Watching these videos definitely brought back some memories.  I guess the 80's had their Subway Art/Style Wars and our generation had Videograf.  Peace to Carl Weston and Nic One for hyping us up through these vhs videos back in the day (even though we fast-forwarded through most of the piecing)...
