Andy Warhol’s Fine Christmas Pop Art
December 4, 2009
When people think of famous contemporary artists that comment on Christmas, they always think of musicians. However, there are some great contemporary famous artists who made Christmas-related art. I confess that I discovered by accident that pop artist Andy Warhol made a collection of Christmas artworks, depicting a Christmas sled with presents, Christmas Wreaths, a Christmas Tree, Christmas ornaments, as well as Christmas card designs. He made most of these in the time that he was still a commercial graphic artist, in the late ’50s. And while they can be seen as an extension of that... Read more »

March 19, 2008
This is an interesting video of how people interact with a work of art. It shows the mix of appreciation of the art itself aestetically, of its whimsy and fun, of its serious message and and a ‘trying it on for size’ – identification with the art.

Meet Banksy – video

Here is an absolutely excellent informative video on Banksy with something as close to an interview with this graffiti artist as you’ll ever get. Wanna know who Banksy is, how is thinks, what moves him to make graffiti, and which way he’s developing as an artist — here it is: April 2006. Read More →
Graffiti Sketches, Tags, Pieces & Labels explained
January 4, 2008
Neil Campbell Graffiti sketches is where most newcomers begin but really you should start by asking yourself – graffiti – what does it really mean to you? Most people see it as something that emerged only in modern society, scribbled by urban youth on railway bridges. However, its use can be traced back to ancient civilisations, such as the ancient Egyptians whose hieroglyphics could be considered a form of what we know today as graffiti. One can even say that graffiti or writing, as it is more commonly known, dates back to the origins of mankind itself, when Neanderthal man’s... Read more »
Learn Graffiti – its the new cool!
December 4, 2007
By Neil Campbell It is only recently that graffiti and the street art scene have been viewed as something more than just an underground artistic movement. The image of the lone writer has been transformed from a deviant character to someone who should be showcased and promoted for his or her talents. With the emergence of street art collectives such as Cable Street, Scrawl Collective and Monorex, a niche has opened in the market for popular graffiti. Almost every night in London, a gallery space or bar is exhibiting the work of an individual graffiti artist.... Read more »
Banksy: Graffiti Vandal or Artist
November 22, 2007
“Banksy’ is a Bristol born graffiti artist who became famous (some would say “infamous’) for his satirical stencilling in the early nineties. Article from http://www.eArtfair.com/blog Although he has become one of the most eminent and collectable artists working today, he remains all but anonymous; almost no details about his life, including his name, are publically known. In recent years the self-described “art-terrorist’ has used his art for overtly political purposes; in 2005 he painted nine images on the Israeli West Bank wall including a child digging a...
