Queens Crap (Free subscription) | yesterday
From the Restless : The NYC DOT continues to do its best to run pedestrians off the Pulaski Bridge's only sidewalk. It was bad enough when the city turned the sidewalk into an official bike lane, but now -- in addition to more preschool illustrations and signage that promotes sharing, like below left -- there's a thing in the turnout in the middle of the bridge that looks suspiciously like kids' playground...

The Maple Leafs are currently a hapless joke, but their fans still love them. Well, most of them anyway. But the city could do without the many promotional stencils the team has left all over the sidewalks. Some found them charming: They appeared at the start of the season and, frankly, were a nice touch superimposed on an often grim landscape. Whenever I walk down Front St. with kids, they always...

This coaster was supposed to be made out of a recycled Christmas card but instead ended up as a stenciled cork coaster. Funny how that happens with crafts. You start out with one idea and end up with something completely different. Fortunately it's a nice "different" that makes for an easy craft project. These coasters are also relatively inexpensive to make. Simple directions below. Supplies:...

While in Hawaii, I've discovered the work of local designer Sierra Dew . She makes really cool fabric prints using stencils. Her work is tropical in nature, but with an edge. Instead of the same old aloha prints, Sierra's art is more urban, with a graffiti influence. Sierra recently lent her experience as a fabric artist to a simple and crafty holiday gift tutorial by Paula Rat h in the Honolulu Advertiser...

Over the past month, life in the band has focussed mainly on gigs we've played for charity. We were asked by the lovely and selfless people who run Oxjam (which raises money for Oxfam... clever that) to contribute to an afternoon-long gigathon across a handful of Edinburgh venues. Of course we obliged, and we were stationed at City Cafe; while across the road, down the street, and round the corner...

Battistinis, Broken but not beaten . . . . . The lovely weather that is currently battering the whole of England may well be destroying and flooding everything in its path and we got hit last night. Today we had the joy of one of our signs that has stood over the shop for years smashed to pieces, lucky then that we still have our 40 foot custom painted monster sign left intact! A few years ago we could...

I'm clearing some storage room, so I put seven paintings on Etsy tonight for just fifty bucks each (including shipping to anywhere in the US). These were from my " Grisaille " show last February. They were made using spray painted stencils and a little acrylic paint. They're 12x12" and would look nice as a quiet accent in a modern interior. Hand made, signed and ready to hang. Visit...

Your weapons: four colors of paint, a few stencils, and a canvas. Your mission: replicate every design Copy Cat throws at you. Your sanity: at risk, as you struggle to layer the stencils, apply the paint, and mix the colors in exactly the right order. It may start off simple, but it gets complicated fast.

The Lock Up opened last Friday and is rammed full of quality pieces from some the best artists around at the moment. I've got to say that for me Goldie probably stole the show. His Showgirl pieces (pictured below) are absolutely stunning in the flesh. That said the bar has been raised all over the show with many of the artists turning in fine pieces of work for a really well put together collection....
