RUN at work (with Stik). Street Art London was lucky enough to hang out with RUN back in December while he added this nice wall to the Foundry. RUN has been busy of late and recently put this cool piece along Hackney Road. RUN tells us that he has a few more pieces in store over the coming months so watch this space… RUN’s pieces are spread far and wide accross East London.

The Best North Brooklyn Street Art of 2011
Editor’s Note: The following is our latest column, Off the Wall , in The WG newspaper , which was published in early December. North Brooklyn is indisputably an epicenter of street art. Whether it is the amazing homegrown talent painting murals, the local artists who dabble in art out in the open, visiting artists from Europe or Australia who leave their mark while exploring the city, or local businesses commissioning artists to create posters that are posted illegally, it’s a visual jungle out there and some of us really appreciate the role street art plays. One of the pleasures for street art watchers is that every season a new batch of artists and work appear. New styles crop up, older styles wilt away, and there’s something for everyone. We decided to compile a list of some of the most notable street art from the area in 2011.
New York Street Art: Alive & Kicking
Adam Wissing, Kenny Komer, and Boris Rasin’s street art poster mashed up the New Museum with the Jeff Koons-designed yacht for Dakis Joannou with the New Museum (click to enlarge) The most notable contributions this season were the door pieces by Ema and Kid Acne (more here , here , here & here ) who worked in unison to saturate the street art scape. Their pieces weren’t very loud or large but they were ubiquitous, diverse, and always well-placed — they proved that quantity doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality. Another notable player was El Sol 25 , whose large scale mash-ups showed a new level of skill that I hadn’t previously noticed in his hand-painted images, but that coupled with their ability to stay up without being disturbed on some major spots ( 1 , 2 ) made him a force to be reckoned with.

Even through the collaboration dropped over a month ago , Hennessy is still going hard to promote it with window displays around the city and now these imprints on the street. Hey Hennessy… How about sending us a case next time to so we can do a proper review of the product!?

In case you didn’t already know, the 12ozProphet Writers Forum is not just a discussion board but also a gold mine filled with incredible work like this series of drawings by Seen UA on the labels of vintage cans of spray paint. Seen was one of the most prolific and influential graffiti writers from the NYC subway graffiti movement.
