'Ghetto Blaster' Nozzle Test by SOFLES.
SOFLES takes the new Ironlak 'Ghetto Blaster' Chisel Cap for a test drive and loves the results. 'Ghetto Blaster' transforms any Ironlak can into a large chisel cap which is capable of super sharp line work or large flares. The (black/Roarke) 400ml Ironlak can was making lines from 15cm wide to pencil thin! The 600ml Reload by Ironlak (Chrome) was 20cm wide.
While great for large chiseled handstyles and calligraphy, don't underestimate the new possibilities that this nozzle brings for artistic wizardry.

Interaction Art -- Pat Attack
"The start of a new digital art project, to bring an interactive platform to up and coming artist and illustrators from around London. We started out on this journey building building a introduction portfolio for one of are artists Pat Attack. We went out on location to Waterloo tunnels, a renowned and expressively accepted art space in London. We spent the morning filming Pat while he painted a 15′ high inky monster in Indian ink, a painstakingly time consuming task as the paintbrush he uses is all of 1/4″ thick. Although he calls himself a graffiti artist, he never touches spray can, which make for a really interesting medium that you do not see a lot of in this area of art. In the evening we got together for some pizza a few drinks, and a chat to ask Pat about what inspires him to work in this way. For the future we aim to curate a gallery space as a platform for artists to do an exhibition, including live painting sessions. We will be incorporating new and exciting digital technologies to the exhibition to create a fresh collaborative spectacle for are audience.

Ubiquitous Graffiti in Prague 2013
Prague is a city full of street art. After the velvet revolution, when the communist government collapsed, people started to seek vents for their feelings. Street art started to thrive.
When walking in the city, you can street arts everywhere in different forms. The most famous street art is the Lennon Wall; it covered the portraits of Lennon and lyrics from Beatles songs. It's a symbol of love, peace and courage. In 1988, young people draw on this wall to fight against communist regime and the Lennon wall changed a lot since then.
Instead of beautifying the city, there are some graffiti just do the opposite. The swearing words people draw casually on streets, public infrastructures and private shops bring troubles to people around. It's a dilemma for the government; they can't simply ban the graffiti, it may hurt the spirit of freedom. The only thing they can do is keep scrubbing and repainting.
Os Gemeos - Art in the Streets - MOCAtv - Ep 23
São Paulo based graffiti artists Os Gemeos (The Twins) are internationally known for their vivid, surrealistic painting style and its playful political commentary. Before they began painting, Os Gemeos were active in their neighborhood's b-boy scene, where hip hop culture had reached by the late 1980s and gained a particularly strong presence. With limited contact to hip hop's origins in New York, Os Gemeos began developing their own technique and style, eventually infusing Brazilian cultural elements and imagery into their work. Since then, Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo have gained worldwide notoriety and an influential fan base. The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston recently invited Os Gemeos to have their first solo museum exhibition in the United States, where the pair showed paintings and mixed media pieces. In conjunction with the eponymous exhibition, Os Gemeos painted a large mural -- one of the first of its scale in Boston -- as a gift to the city.

Giant Graffiti Street Art in Rio Revitalizes Port Area for 2016 Olympics
Brazilian graffiti artist, Toz, is painting a giant mural in Rio de Janeiro's port region, as the area gears up for the 2016 Olympics. A giant and colorful mural is bringing a bit of life to Rio de Janeiro's poor port region. The area is being renewed for the 2016 Olympic Games. The vibrant artwork is courtesy of Brazilian graffiti artist Toz who, together with his friends, is filling the 98-foot tall mural with bright colors and random caricatures. The artwork is already the biggest of its kind in the city, and was commissioned by Lojas Americanas and B2W, two of the biggest brands in Brazil, which own the building where the mural is being painted.
[Toz, Brazilian Graffiti Artist]:
"My vision was to design something where there was enough space for my artist friends to showcase their work and also for me expose my work. That's why I had this idea of these triangles, as if they were small windows into different worlds and ideas."
To fill the space, Toz and eight other artists have used 1500 cans of spray paint so far.
Rio still has some way to go to catch up to other world cities, such as London and Berlin, when it comes to street art, but Toz believes the talent and the spaces are there.
[Toz, Brazilian Graffiti Artist]:
"Graffiti was born in those areas—the more distant and neglected areas—and today here we are, painting the side of a building, so I think not just here, but in any place which is destroyed and neglected is a perfect place for graffiti artists."
For the people who work and live in the area, the colorful mural is a pleasant addition to the bleak surroundings.
[Carlos Magno, Construction Worker]:
"It used to be an ugly building, but now it can even become a tourist attraction, I think it's cool."
Rio de Janeiro's port region will be one of the focal points of the 2016 Olympic Games.
City servants are investing millions of real (pronounced re-Al) in new transport links, road works and new housing, to accommodate the thousands of visitors expected during the summer of 2016.

White Walls: INSA 'Online Love'
INSA brings his innovative GIF-ITTI to the White Walls Project as he completes his biggest and most complex moving piece to date.
It's a first for us here - 3 days in the sun re-painting this monster wall 4 times to give us this completely original result.
The beauty of INSA's GIF-ITI is that it only truly lives when viewed online, where these days most street art ends up being viewed, and exaggerates the ephemeral nature of graffiti as each layer is painted instantly over the last. Mixing retro internet technology and labour intensive painting, INSA creates slices of infinite un-reality, cutting edge art for the tumblr generation.

VERSUS project, 1st round: EGS vs AZUL COUSTEAU
The "Versus" project comes to light as a type of platform to be able to discover the new color range of Hardclore2 through the experiences of well known writers, at both a local level as well as on a international level. The concept is very simple, just like graffiti was during its more primal state: The invited artists choose their color for filling, and black and white for outlines and highlights.
A excellent way to show us the skills and ingenuity of these writers by confronting these limitations, and at the same time, check the results of each of these new colors in a clairvoyant way, without any noise, without accessories or additives, only a writer painting a surface for a video not even two minutes long.
