Sneak Peek!

TOOFLY street works make an appearance on a new book dropping soon! —-> OUTDOOR GALLERY NEW YORK CITY by Yoav Litvin documents the vibrant and diverse street art of New York City. Because outdoor art is ephemeral and constantly changing, it is necessarily current and relevant. Outdoor Gallery pays tribute to this dynamic and countercultural artform. The book features 100s of pieces of art by 46 different artists. The photographed works are accompanied by the artists’ thoughts on New York, the current state of street art, the future of this dynamic medium, and their own work and processes.

Some of the artists profiled in Outdoor Gallery- New York City include: Toofly, Roycer, Shiro, Free5, Cern, Sofia Maldonado, Bishop203, ChrisRWK, The Yok, Sheryo, and more. Books will be available at the MOMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Guggenheim Museum.

Toofly Brooklyn Bodega Interview for the “Under The Influence” exhibition by Navani Otero – thx girl!

Whoa…did I make it on the latin network? Univision interview airing on Thursday morning nationwide over 100+ cities. ( “Despierta America” 7am-10am Channel 41) Many of us grew up with this channel because our abuelas, mamis, and tias watched their novelas, our abuelitos, papis, and tios caught the futbol. Occasionally we all sat around to watch that silly man Don Francisco on Sabado Gigante too. My family has come a long way. This one is for you Papito lindo!

Cardhacks Drops The Art Hustle artist trading cards July 1st 2010! Sneeky Peek…

The Art Hustle is a set of art and artist-based trading cards produced by The Cardhacks and manufactured in the USA by SideKick Media. The set is very much a collaborative effort with artists, and exhibits an international group working in multiple disciplines, including street art, toy art, kaiju, sketch, illustration, painting, aerosol art, poster art, collage, digital art, sculpture, photography and more.

What makes The Art Hustle so cool is that it gives you a completely new experience as a collector; the set is a tangible exhibition of talent that you can experience and learn about. You also have a chance to get an original piece of art! Plus, being inspired by trading cards produced in the 1960’s, 70’s & 80’s, the set offers up some vintage-inspired flavor including chipboard card stock and the much-loved wax paper wrapper.

Price: $126.00/Box ( Boxes are limited! ) – quick facts below:
