An artist I’ve met a few times known as Mason Storm, well in his words: “After 10 years of nefarious activities and stalking I have managed to capture the illusive Banksy at work, face on and will reveal him in a new oil, hopefully finished by Sept. Dont rant it’s high time the mystery was revealed.”
Worryingly for Mason, Banksy apparently knows he has been captured on camera by him and artist friends are advising him to play it careful… LOL.

Mason is going to do an 6ft high oil painting of Banksy from the photo he took. Apparently someone has already tried to buy the painting before he’s even started it properly, but refused to sell it (as they insisted on him not reproducing the painting).
He’s also running a sort of competition to help spread the word: “a few choice prezzies for whom so ever prints of one of my ‘mason Knows’ mini posters and gets it in either the furthest location from London, the cheekiest location and 20 others for special merit”, his group on Flickr here is for the competition.
He’s gotta hope that Banksy doesn’t beat him to the scoop by revealing himself before he’s finished the huge painting…

Mason’s main form of artwork has been seriously intricate anti-imperialist sculptures. He also does oil paintings in photo-realist detail, a painting he did of Carravaggio’s Last Supper scene infused with Mc Donalds’ products can be seen here.
His online shop is here.

Had to post this. Who said graffiti is ugly - I guess this kind of scene would be a dividing line between people who can sense the creative energy, culture, and colour that graffiti can bring and those who can’t stand it… I think it’s almost beautiful.
Found the image from a great site that is constantly updated with people saving interesting images, quite a good source for inspiration. The site is FFFound.com

Anyone remember React FM (Jungle mid 90’s)? Still got cassettes with recorded sessions from them.

Pirate radio is everywhere in London, born in the 60’s from rusting anti-aircraft towers in the mouth of the Thames. Today’s broadcasts are hidden in plain sight, transmitting from secret tower block studios via homemade rooftop antennas. We put our boots on and went exploring.

George Ramos spent two weeks on this intricately designed Lamborghini––he used Sharpie markers to create the design and then topped it off with a clear coat of paint to protect the pattern. The car was displayed at the Concorso Italiano, a festival celebrating Italian style, in Monterey, California, and received plenty of appreciative nods…

This is pretty bad-ass. I think the pattern he did goes really well with the car’s Italian “Uber-cool” reputation and form - and on close inspection (below) it has a bit of that “west coast thug life” vibe going on - great mix.

In “Nature by Numbers,” filmmaker Cristobal Vila presents a series of animations illustrating various mathematic principles, beginning with a breathtaking animation of the Fibonacci sequence. Then it moves on to the Golden and Angle Ratios, the Delaunay Triangulation and Voronoi Tessellations. This would be math-class gold, and it’s awfully sweet even if math class is years behind you. - via www.boingboing.net
Wish I was better at maths. Maths is awesome.

Just released a new limited edition print series. This is from a ballpoint biro drawing of Kate Moss, which is perhaps one on my most popular drawings & recently made the front cover of a Ukranian culture magazine - more info here. (See video of this biro drawing below).

The limited edition is of 50. Each one has a slightly different hand finished JRM design (see below image) different colours (spray paint & marker) on each print. You can order a print without one or even in a specified colour (although the number would not likely be the lowest available). See below image for more info…

The above right image is the number 1/50 of the prints framed and hanging.
The prints are A1 in size (about 59 x 84 cm), numbered & signed giclee (highest quality digital ink prints), available at £350. The one on the above right is framed, but price does not include frame. Buy a print through payPal below.
