Banksy's Late for a Date (with Death!)


Well, 15 minutes after today's piece was supposed to be announced on Banksy's website, yet still no official word from the man himself.

However, right at 6, this photo was posted by Banksy_London on Instagram.  Not sure if this is legit or what, but Banksy is late for his date (probably with death)!

Book Release - New Street Art


M&F generally keeps its focus on LA, but when something cool happens in the world of street art, it is always good to give it a special shout out.

One of these cool things is happening right now with the pending release of a London based street art book called New Street Art.  With photos and content from Claud, otherwise known as Claudelondon on Flickr.  Claude is a prolific street art photographer with a focus on the local neighborhood, kind of like a London based M&F--and we don't hand that compliment out lightly.  Claude is one of the only photographers dutifully documenting the ever-growing street art movement, which is why it is important to support his book.

From what we understand, there have been some issues with the publisher of the book.  You can pre-order the book now on Amazon, and the more orders placed will help the book become a reality.  Buyers won't be charged until the book actually goes into print, which is the whole goal anyway.

Stay up and support New Street Art.

Banksy is Big News


Even the major news outlets are covering Banksy.

This van was setting up to broadcast from a spot near Banksy's Charlie Brown site.

And MELROSEandFAIRFAX has had its own share of International Press as we collaborated with major news outlets The Independent from London, and TheWeek.com.

Both of these are major news outlets and it was an honor to work with both, but being featured on TheWeek was a special treat because we grew up in a home that subscribes to the magazine, and we have great respect for it as one of the best news sources in this day and age.

Cool piece and great spot. Dig it~

A.S.V.P. - Down To Earth (and UP everywhere in beween!)


Down To Earth describes the A.S.V.P. strategy perfectly. In the past year, the street art collective ASVP has arguably gotten up more around the world-they have hit more spots in more big cities, than any one else on earth . . .
