Digging this new piece by Roa in Argentina. I discovered it by way of Juxtapoz. This giant three-toed sloth appears to be lounging on the molding surrounding these boarded up windows. Check out the Jux piece for additional images.

I caught up on EIME’s work from 2010-2012 via this video that I saw on Wooster last week. It is definitely worth checking out. Play it–

64 by 64
Last week, Boooooom! ran post called 64 photos by 64 photographers. It is a collection of photos that Jeff (the author of Boooooom!) discovered during the calendar year of 2012. Each of them is by a different photographer. If you are into photography, you should definitely check out the piece. One of my faves is above. It is an image by Daniel Kukla.

Chris Maynard’s feather cutouts
I saw these works by Chris Maynard on Laughing Squid earlier this week. I’m seriously digging the intricacies in these cutouts. It is pretty amazing. Apparently Maynard uses eye surgery tools inherited from his father, to create these pieces. Check out more over on his site Feather Folio.

new work from Mentalgassi
I really like this recent stuff from Mentalgassi. I have written about his style before. These two photos went up on his blog earlier this week. Like Roa, Bansksy, Blu, and so many other successful street artists, Mentalgassi is very good at making his art interact with its location. I think that the RC controller might be my favorite of the two.

jacob sutton underwater photography
I absolutely love this image by Jacob Sutton. There was a profile piece about him earlier this week in Juxtapoz, discussing his underwater photography. There are a few additional images in the set. Def worth browsing.

apocoloyptic images by Steve Mcghee
There is something very gnarly about these depictions of mass destruction that Steve Mcghee makes. I came across the set last week on Jux. I imagine the McGhee was the type of child who enjoyed building city-scapes out of his legos then trouncing over them like Godzilla. It is definitely worth checking out the whole set.

The pottery of Kazunori Ohnaka
I came across these images of Japanese potty Kazunori Ohnaka on OEN, this week. I love the minimalist vibe that I get from his work. His stuff (at least the pieces that I saw) is all finished in a very basic earthy fashion. I absolutely love the sliced stones below. Check out the full set that OEN posted, over here.

Roa goes big in Norway
This is possibly one of my favorite Roa pieces, to date. This one is on the side of a building in Norway that was used to clean fish. Click over to Unurth to check out more of Roa’s recent work.

Meghan Howland
Meghan Howland is a New England based painter that I came across this morning on BOOOOOOM!. I love her style, generally. But the birds are what grabbed me. Check out the rest of her work from 2012.

Snaps from the armory
Ann Hamliton’s exhibit “The Event of a Thread” opened over the weekend at the Park Avenue Armory. The installation is an interactive one. The main drill hall in the armory is bifurcated by giant white sheet. On either side of the sheet are scores of swings suspended from the armory rafters. Each of the swings has cords connecting them to the sheet, so that the motion of the swings animate the sheet. It was quite an interesting spectacle. These are a couple of the images that I grabbed while I was at the exhibit.
M83 ‘Wait’
I saw this video posted a few times over the weekend. So I watched it, and so should you. It is pretty incredible.
New El Mac ‘Birds of no Nation”
Mac posted some new work on his blog recently. This was a commissioned celebrating a woman graffiti writer from Afghanistan. Mac explains the piece:
These are shots of a large mural-sized canvas commissioned for the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial in Australia, which opens this weekend. It is a collaboration with Shamsia Hassani and the Propeller Group. Shamsia Hassani is the first and probably only serious female graffiti writer in Afghanistan, and is also an associate professor in the Fine Arts Department at Kabul University.

Herakut Mural in Miami
More news from Miami: I’m really digging this mural that Herakut put up earlier this week (presumably in connection with Basel). In addition to being a dope piece, this long exposure photo of it is boss. I love the way they captured the clouds moving.
I hate to say it, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the mural the Shepard Fairey put up for the event. I’m normally very keen on just about anything that SF touches. More images of the Herakut piece, here.

Matterhorn snaps by Nenad Saljic
ISO 50 posted some gorgeous high contrast monochromatic photos of the Matterhorn, shot by Nenad Saljic. The style reminded me quite a bit of Ansel Adams’ images from Yosemite. Saljic captures the peak from the same vantage points at different times of day and night. Check out the full set over here.

Sasita Samarnpharb
Sasita Samarnpharb it a Thai born illustrator currently residing in London. I came across her work this week on Jux, and am really enjoying it.
On an unrelated note, I was really wishing that I could hit Basel this year. I have been reading a lot about it. Apparently Levine is hosting a screening of a film that Invader made. And… there is Banksy drama.
