I was in Amsterdam the other day and kept seeing works by laser 3.14. Not what you expect, on almost any front.

Writer Highlight: Zimad TD4
South Bronx 1979, Zimad starts what turns out to be a pretty long standing presence in graffitidom. His style is consistent and varies all at the same time. Candylicious colors and smooth, clean, slick lines; if we lived in an animated Miyazaki graffiti world it would look like this. Peep for yourselves…

Artists We Dig- Photographer Tom Gould
Tom Gould is a videographer/photographer hailing from the mighty New Zealand who is now based in New York City. Like a true veteran he’s dived right into the underbelly of the underground, capturing all that is gritty and hip hop like legends Large Pro, El da Sensei, Peanut Butter Wolf and Thirstin Howl the III to graffiti kings like Wane and Fuzz One to Polo fiends the Lo-Lifes. I get the feeling the homie must be a native wherever he goes cuz he infiltrates and moves amongst crews like no outsider can. And it all comes through in his art.
Check him out on the interwebs- blog (tumblr), website, & vimeo (he’s shot & directed some awesome videos too).

José Parlá “Prose” At Yuka Tsuruno Gallery In Tokyo
The ever awe-inspiring and affable José Parlá has been a busy man lately, from his commissioned work for the Brooklyn Nets’ Barclay center to his collaborative work with French Photographer JR in Cuba (documented in book form, JR & José Parlá: Wrinkles of the City, Havana, Cuba) to his solo show now up at the Yuka Tsuruno Gallery in Tokyo. If you have a chance, definitely check it out cuz I can verify firsthand his work is much more amazing in real life where you can get dizzy trying to pick apart his density of layered script/tags. Peace to Ease/Inkheads.
More flicks of the show and his work with JR after the jump (via ArrestedMotion.com & JR-Art.net)…

Writer Highlight- Paebak NSF CTW IPC
Pretty much any city you’re in, Paebak’s been there. There’s a wall with Paebak on it. And if not, there’s a train or a light pole or some wind strewn trash. Taking the train through some small West Virginia town and boom, there’s a Paebak throwie trackside on the back of a shed. His style carries the fun and color of a demented circus or cartoon but also generally adheres to a pretty traditional graf letter form and readability. Most importantly, he’s up.
