Fooling April at the Crash Mansion (NYC)

I think you might not know this group! I discovered him in New York, last friday at the Crash Mansion.


They play pretty well, and the singer's voice reminded me of Jamie Cullum, a really great artist.


"The way back down" is one of my favorites!







You can find them on You Tube for videos!







And also on www.myspace.com/fa and www.foolingapril.com, which is there official website.

One word: ENJOY!

A Urban Artist Network: making art accessible to everybody!

While surfing on the web, I hit up a "urban artist network" on www.urbanartistnetwork.net

The logo captured my attention, because it reminded me the NBA logo! But here it's a tagger
with a spray can in his hand.

But there are not just bombers in the B.R.I.D.G.E. Collective open association of artists , I've found for example Joslyn Virgin, a photograph.


To go back to this Urban Artist Network, their mission is really social and right: "to make the arts accessible to people of all economic and educational backgrounds while promoting emerging urban artists". It's an art service organization.

I would also see them offering services for Marketing and Advertising campaigns. For example this bus might be designed for firemen!

The keepers of the Flame

Also all the website is well designed. I like the painting effect on the right side of the page while looking at the gallery.

I haven't been able to find a lot of stuffs about these people on the web, may be you will be luckier than me.

Mark Jenkis: why not a street marketer?!

What about this one?!
As a Marketing & Business Student, I would simply say that this could be a really great street marketer! In fact Street marketing for those who don't know that, is when you use the streets or local environment to promote your products. Here are some examples on this website focusing on street marketing and buzz marketing campaigns. For "anti suicide" campaigns for example!



Or even a campaign for the whales protection!

Let's have a look, and enjoy it : www.xmarkjenkinsx.com.
His Storker project is such a crazy one! And the videos are great! So funny the one with the ghost homeless! and the guy with his head inside the wall! Fantastic!

Banksy: a modern british street artist!

Here he comes...

Banksy, an outstanding street artist that I've just discovered yesterday.

His outdoors graffitis are spectacular! I was really impressed when I discovered his website after just having typed "street artist" on google. He is well known in England and apparently around the world too. Policemen are so british in his graffitis!

I learned a lot reading to his notes. Mao was also a street artist at his time, writing graffitis at school about the society around him.

Nowadays, you have to be ambitious to survive in this world.

My favorite may be this photo of a little girl who lets (or not on purpose) a heart shaped balloon taking off. And with these words written behind her: "There is always hope". Thank you for this reminder :)

Here is his website: http://www.banksy.co.uk

There are really wonderful graffitis!

Coralie Saudo

She is my favorite artist with her small artistic world that I have never find anywhere else!

In fact she is also my older sister :)

Here is a digital illustration for christmas that she did this year! All of her works impressed me more & more every day.





You may find her at: http://www.coraliesaudo.com/ with an link for the english version at the bottom of the main page.

She has also created a blog where there are many other creations. She uses to subscribe to challenges such as http://www.joebiscotte.com/ or http://www.sirokipik.fr/ where you can find many other artists.

I may come back to her works many times.

Just a word for coralie: continue to make us dream as you have been doing these past years.

Thanks,

@V.
