This video is straight dope. Smart Crew and Fool’s Gold come together to promote an upcoming group exhibition. And it shows why Smart Crew is one the illest running Nyc. As hilarious as the video is exposing their sticker bombing tactics, it would also help explain how the manage to stay so up. Must watch.

“Smart Fools” opens tomorrow (Thursday, 12/12) at the Fool’s Gold store on 536 Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn with an opening reception from 7-9pm.

Artists We Dig: GoddoG

thos — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:14:34 +0000

Hailing out of France comes a young artist (Flickr profile reads: “Young artist // no kids, no dog but a pretty woman, and a beautiful home”) armed with a fierce arsenal of geometric shapes and color. While most of his creations are living large, literally, on walls of buildings he also has the uncanny ability to transform them into prints that look dope framed on the wall of a living room. As many of us know, this transition doesn’t always translate very well with a lot of graffiti/muralist artists whose work only feels really right when it’s in a very specific urban environment. He’s got a little Doze Green, a little Kid Acne, a little Roa, and a whole bunch of his own style. If you’re digging any of these by any means you need to check out his Flickr (where all these photos are from) for a lot more, here.
