Broken Crow is an artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.  He is best known for his stencil pieces and they are HUGE: the word ’small’ is not a word in Broken Crow’s vocabulary. Over recent months he has been touring the world featuring in major events in London and Paris. He often collaborates with other artists, such as Vexta, to produce amazing art pieces. I been fortunate to see Crow’s work first hand in London where the Cans Festival took place. I wish I could say I’ve helped him on some of his pieces or even seen him paint but, alas, this still remains a distant dream. A big thanks to Broken Crow for taking time out his busy schedule to answer some questions for us. You can read the interview below:

It’s all happening at Opus Underground from August 8th to September 8th. As you can see from the banner below there is some work from some seriously big names at ‘Whitewashed’.

Opus Underground, for those that don’t know, is in Newcastle Upon Tyne in England. With those names on the set list it’s bound to be a winner. Work from Prefab77, who we looked at last week, will also be there.

Thanks for the heads up Marc.

Apparently this is an old Banksy paste up from back in the day, can’t really confirm but looks pretty genuine.. not really many of these about…

No Name is another all round artist: stencil, wheatpaste, canvases, slaps, even t-shirts; this guy does it all. A lot of his work is inspired by beautiful woman and Trainspotting (a film about the Edinburgh drug scene).

His work has been posted write around the world in many forms but one of the most interesting locations I have seen from him, and probably any other artist, is this piece below in the mountains somewhere (Alps maybe?).

To see the vast range of No Name’s work please check out No Name’s flickr page.
