To celebrate Wooster Special Edition of the 35th Anniversary Edition of the Faith of Graffiti we sat down with legendary photographer Jon Naar and artist Snake I to better understand the impact of the book when it was released in 1974.
This first video explains the difference of the new edition from the old edition, the reason for choosing the "Red Bird - Stay High 149" as the cover and Wooster print and how Jon took over 3000 photos in 10 days.

For us, there's nothing more thrilling than seeing an artist whose work you love, push their work (and themselves) into new areas that (pardon the cliched phrase) takes things to a new level.
We felt just that thrill and excitement when we received a photo of the latest piece by C215.. We're thrilled to see that C215 has begun to find a new voice within his work. We can't wait to see what is to come.

Torontoist has a terrific article on a series of site specific stencils that have appeared over the last few days on Harbord Street. Words like "OUCH!" "THUNK!" "OOF!" "YIPE!" have been painted to highlight to cyclists the deep potholes and cracks along the paths. The stencils were done by Urban Repair Squad.
Torontoist quotes a member of the Squad as saying:
"The action-hero drama of dodging obstacles and potholes, escaping devil-may-care drivers in super-fast cars, and braving the fierce, temperamental elements, may seem, and feel, quite comic. Unless you're face-down on the pavement. With some wit, we endeavour to provide warning with humour; suggest danger with comedy; invite caution without frightening...and most importantly, we appeal to our fine city to remember that potholes aren't just uncomfortable, they really, really hurt."

"Stick 'Em Up! is a documentary that takes an in depth look into the overshadowed world of wheat pasting in Houston, Texas. Directed by Alex Luster. You will not only get a candid view of the daily life of several street artists but we will also focus on the other perspectives & opinions from city officials, art critics and everyday citizens."
