Hi guys, sorry about the site being down, there were some issues with the domain registrar, saying it would expire at a different date than it did. All is well now though!

I’ll make a proper post later, got to go now!

Ok, after some consideration, I’ve decided to start the second charity t-shirt competition, despite not all the shirts selling yet (You can still buy them from our shop!)

So for the first step, this time we’re adding an extra little incentive! A prize for the winner and also some lesser prizes for the runners up. It will be paid for using money from the ads. We can’t have anything too expensive, but we won’t go amazingly cheap either.

Please post your ideas here: http://concrete-canvas.com/forum/index.php?topic=308.0

Thanks!

Hi guys, I’d just like to remind you all about upfest, in Bristol. It should be good, although unfortunately I can’t go! Saturday 6th June, here’s the flyer:

Cheers to Pleaseflush for reminding me!

While I know the majority of the users of Concrete canvas are English, we do have some American readers. For this reason, I think I should give them a little recognition with the announcement of this exhibition in NY.

The theme of the exhibition is 2012, which as some of you may know, is signified as the end of the world by the Mayan calendar, which is what the show is based around. It attempts to centre the user around this changing world.

THe artists that are involved think that as the world is nearing this year, people are changing the ways they view street art. It features Avoid, Bloke, and Farrow, all in one exhibition. It opens during Bushwick open studio weekend, and is done by Factory Fresh and Mighty Tanaka.

It lasts until the 21st of June.
