So the BRP had the Big Issue Charity Show on Saturday and it seems to have a been a great success, raising a lot of money for charity. There’s a huge thread over on Banksy.info with more photos and a whole load of discussion on prices and which pieces people thought were the best and worst.
We’ve got a selection of images from Wallkandy.net - so as ever, thanks to Ian over there for providing us with top notch photos. Gallery after the jump.

UK Street Art had the pleasure of catching up with the Don Corleone of stencil art, Logan Hicks, before his first solo UK show opens at Black Rat Press this Thursday (July 3). To hear all about his old studio next to Shepherd Fairey’s, his desire to simply paint beautiful women and his thoughts on the raging Nike vs Adidas debate (we sort of made that last part up), check the full interview out after the jump.
JetSet Graffiti have put together a great video showcasing Armsrock, the upcoming exhibitions at Black Rat Press in London and Ad Hoc Art Gallery in Brooklyn, opening this week. This indepth look takes a look at this creative mind in his studio in Bremen Germany a couple weeks ago as he was preparing for the two shows.
Tomorrow night’s another biggie on the London street-art calendar. If you’re not heading to the Black Rat Press for Blek’s show, Nelly Duff are releasing Street Art Chile by Rodney Palmer. Both Blek and Rodney will be on site at the respective galleries.
