LIVE PAINTING
By
AARON ”SHARP” GOODSTONE

Sharp torna a Milano per una speciale live performance. L’artista improvvisa una painting session all’esterno di MyOwnGallery, la galleria d’arte contemporanea di Superstudio Più.

Wow! Aesop Rock (one of my favourite Def Jux rappers) and Jeremy Fish (one of the artist whose work I love the most, check his limited-edition nike [here](http://www.solepedia.com/Jeremy_Fish_X_Nike_Air_Classic_SB), you fashion-vandals) together for a book and an exhibition, on Fecal Face: a must see! ([see](http://www.hypebeast.com/2006/06/29/aesop-rock-x-jeremy-fish-the-next-best-thing/) some shots from the book there on [hype beast](www.hypebeast.com) ).

Upper Playground is proud to present: “The Next Best Thing”, a short story about the creative process by Aesop Rock and Jeremy Fish. This 24 page book comes with a 7 inch picture disk that coincides with each page of the book (ie: old school style kid’s books with records for those born pre 1979!). Jeremy Fish and Aesop Rock were brought together by a common infatuation with themarvel-of-modern-science known as the “one-cup coffee maker.” They soon learned that two creative types can do an extraordinary amount of complaining regarding their respective involvement in “the arts” over a properly constructed patty melt. Indeed, within minutes, optimistic almost-young gentlemen can morph into jaded, bickering, grumpy old men.

happy letters and colorful walls, nice characters and illustrations on this french website: [happy graffiti friends](http://www.happygraffitifriends.com/).

if there’s one thing that was missing from the internet, it was surely a comprehensive website about Rome graffiti (one of the most powerful and overlooked graffiti scenes in the world, with a strong nyc-like style). At least, till yesterday: [http://www.hellomynameis.it/](http://www.hellomynameis.it/) is a new website with lots of throwups and bombings from the Italian capital, with features from some cool writers.
even if I really hate websites with a flash frontend, I reccomend you to check hallomynameis. It really deserves it.

Sleeping Giants is a huge graffiti event that happened in Brighton, UK, some days ago. I found some pieces that I really love on this Flickr Group.

Wany is one of the finest italian writers, here since a long time and getting better and better every time I check his works. Keep on rocking!
(yes I felt the need of publishing some serious writing in my shitty website)
