Escif “We Are The Robots” in Valencia
Escif, who we consider to be one of the headiest street artists working today, has dropped so many good pieces in his hometown of Valencia this year, its hard to keep up. And with the European street art festival season going off soon, he is sure to drop some more. We love this “We Are the Robots” piece. Check our new Escif tees shirts here.

Weakness Wednesday: Grimes “Be A Body”
As you can tell, we like Grimes. Even though we don’t consider this to be a super guilty pleasure, we consider it to be one of the best albums/tracks of the year.

Stay High 149, RIP
Stay High 149, one of the true original NYC graffiti legends, passed away at the age of 61. The New York Times, writes: Wayne Roberts was a pioneering 1970s graffiti writer known as “Stay High 149” who borrowed the haloed stick figure from the title sequence of the 1960s television series “The Saint,” put a joint in its mouth and turned it around. His “Smoker” tag, or signature, turned the heads of legions of imitators and admirers, including the anonymous teenagers who slipped into train yards at night to paint whole cars, as well as Norman Mailer, who featured him in his book “The Faith of Graffiti.”

Herzog & de Meuron x Ai Weiwei: 2012 Serpentine Pavilion
Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and Beijing-based Ai Weiwei teamed up for this amazing pavilion structure on the lawn a plane of the Serpentine Gallery in London, England. With a layer of water atop the structure, DesignBoom notes that the artists are “inviting visitors to pass beneath it and observe the recently exposed components of the past structures. eleven columns representing each of the previous editions elevate the roof plane 1.4 meters from the excavated ground while an additional support stands for the current construct.”

Video: Andreco + Ericailcane in Morocco
Ericailcane, who showed with FIFTY24SF Gallery in late 2010, just finished a collaborative piece with Andreco in the Sahara desert of Morocco. These types of things never, ever, get old. We are sure to see Mr. Ericailcane painting in the south of Italy this summer… always a pleasure to see FAME Festival festivities.
