As timing goes, Stephen just sent a pics from the Echo Park, LA zones, and one was an older stencil by Sticky Shaw. Turns out, three of Sticky's pieces were recently snapped in CDMX, and one older one was captured while driving through Bakersfield some years back. Thanks also to Amanda for a few of these pics. OK, time to wander in the sun now.
Here is the final round of stencil pics in Mexico City. Mostly ads today, but a few are at least somewhat interesting. There are a few others in this batch that are worth a look, so click on through.
Second-to-last upload of photos from CDMX, all from the Roma zones. Most of these were snapped during an intentional stencil wandering there and back. Like a good explorer, the trick is to never walk down the same street twice!
Today's uploads, like Mexico City, have it all: a hummingbird, a grasshopper, a boxer, some activism, some ads, some fine art, and hopefully something you will enjoy.
Today, the flicks from CDMX cover everything from political ads to work in El Chopo market. Some are punk and show a punk. One is a personal message to dogs to take their mess elsewhere!
Before we head out for family fun today, here is the first batch of fresh photos from last month's CDMX wanderings. More on the way soon.
Vlocke Negro, es un artista multidisciplinario con fuerte cimientos en la gráfica originario de Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Estado de México. Su obra se fundamenta en una sólida formación en ciencias sociales (Licenciatura en Ciencia Política por la FCPyS-UNAM), desde donde investiga fenómenos como el poder, la colonización, los movimientos sociales y la gentrificación. Estas inquietudes toman forma en prácticas artísticas que cuestionan las estructuras del relato hegemónico
As we head into Monday, we are moving through the current needed uploads. Today, we get what may be the last batch of stencils from the Box Shop in Hunters Point, including a batch from Looks (aka Looksnatcher). The Church of Clown had a few stencil stickers up over in Visitacion Valley. Not surprisingly, they were clowns. Finally, here are a batch from a recent art exhibit at Harringtons on Valencia Street.
Making room in the queue for a few larger stashes heading your way! Here's some Eurozone bits and bites:
Just got back from a trip to the megalopolis of CDMX, and snapped a good pile of stencils during the wanderings here and there. Hope to get some of those processed soon and up on the Stencil Archive. Meanwhile, a small batch now, featuring:
One from Vienna (tnx, BeneRegoef)
Back on here sooooooon.
