Visual heavyweight Ashes57 has obviously been hard at work over the last few years. Not only has she been photographing clubs and musicians worldwide, illustrating for a range of clients and holding the art side of things down at Swamp81, she’s just released a 240 page e-book of street art photographed between 2006 and 2009.

Yet more burning visuals to keep you warm as we enter the colder months here in the UK…
I headed out to East London last night for the opening of a brand new show at the LondonNewcastle Project Space on Redchurch Street. Entited, ‘The Talking Walls of Buenos Aires’, it’s an ode to the fresh, eclectic and quickly growing street art scene in the Argentinian capital curated by Graffitimundo. After moving out to [...]
With his latest show, Sweet Revenge, having just opened at the Colour Works in Hackney, London street artist Sweet Toof returns to his hometown with an introspective of his work as a reaction to the Olympic buffing of East London. Having paved his way as a graffiti artist in the 80s and 90s, mixing letter [...]
I’ve been really feeling the work of Sheffield based street artist Phlegm recently. In a black and white illustrative style, he paints these slightly creepy caped characters acting out all sorts of surreal situations. The details are incredible and, even without them, the visual concept and style’s really strong, it’s dark, edginess suits the streets [...]

A worldwide movement, they recently toured the UK over 5 days and hit 33 spots in 5 cities between [...]
I have no idea who’s behind these bold, colourful cartoon birds that have been popping up around South London, but they’re certainly doing a good job of brightening up some of the areas gloomier tunnels and alleys. Southwark is an area fairly devoid of any signs of life as far as graffiti or street art [...]
Situated in the back of the infamous BBQ garden at Cargo, a club/bar/music venue in East London, Black Rat Projects (which was originally Black Rat Press if I remember rightly) is a cavernous, warehouse style railway tunnel space that’s been coverted into a really nice gallery space. Focusing on street inspired artists, it’s played host [...]
Set in a Dickensian old shop and basement space in Shoreditch, Pure Evil Gallery is the brainchild and namesake of renowned street and gallery artist Pure Evil. After leaving England to persue a sunnier life in California, eventually designing for clothing label Anarchic Adjustment and producing music for German label Fax, he returned to London, [...]
LA artist Kofie is one of my favourite artists to come through a graff background, using the eye developed there to explore shape, form and colour in a more abstract manner. His pieces are striking not only in their bold form and deep black lines but also for the composition that drags you through them [...]
