Shepard Fairey’s OBAMA in the Smithsonian?
If the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION has its way, a giant fine art version of SHEPARD FAIREY’s iconic portrait of the now-president elect BARACK OBAMA will enter the collection of its NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY as the first official fine art rendering of the future president. The only hitch? Money. The $75,000 price tag for the piece, which was created by Fairey as the centerpiece of his “Manifest Hope†Obama art show that took place in Denver during this year’s DNC, must be raised through donations, though word on the street is that the museum is close to meeting this figure. As if having a street artist with a criminal record branding a presidential campaign weren’t enough, this move can definitely be filed under the headers of “Hope,†and “Progress.â€

Goldie predicts a riot in urban art
One picture is a self-portrait of the artist, an aerosol can in one hand and swearing with the other. Goldie has always been one to make a statement. The drum'n'bass pioneer's latest exhibition, The Kids Are All Riot, is a retrospective of his artworks, depicting social decay and youth culture.
"Kids have really been abandoned. Social community centres seem to have dissipated and there doesn't seem to be a community spirit. I've grown up on estates and to go back and see those places, it's not changed for the good. There's a loss of sense of belonging for kids – it's the reason they turn to urban art and music."
It's also why Goldie, now 43, started teaching urban art to kids more than 20 years ago. Goldie, who was himself a street artist and a youth club member, received after-school tuition from his art teacher while his first exhibition, staged when he was just 18, was funded by the arts council.
"I would teach kids across estates the hidden code of graffiti, to give them good composition. Many are still going as artists today," he says.
Tumor and Temper, two former students of Goldie who have made names for themselves as artists, are the proof.
"You can put a kid through graphic art school but if you teach a kid graffiti it's a different ball game," Goldie argues. "It's free-style. I've learned so much from graffiti. It's like going to the finest university in the world. It's down to experience – trial and error. Graffiti still has some bad connotations but that's so Eighties. When you learn a form of graffiti, if you can achieve the things I did when I was 18 to 25, you can do any form of art."
been so fuckn busy!
Ive been so busy lately ya'll!!! found a new train yard to hit up and this shit is amazingly sick. open range. more art comping soon!!!

SKREAM!!!
Name: Skream Music
Style: Dubstep
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/skreamuk
Skream Intro: Croydon's musical wonderkid. At 15 he discovered making music. Five years later he's changed the course of UK urban music, having helped build the foundations of London's most exciting new musical style, dubstep. But he's barely started yet: because right now, Skream is an artist on fire. Skream's story begins in Croydon, in secondary school year 11. He wasn't getting on with teachers and they weren't getting on with him: but he was getting on with his music. But two friendships cemented then would start him onto the path to musical success. First he met Benga, another talented Croydon kid who was starting to make music. Then he met Hatcha, soon to be one of the most influential and pioneering DJs in urban music. Around 2000 Benga and Skream set about building on the early dark garage flavours that were to be found on the pirate airwaves around Croydon. Through Hatcha's sets at club Forward» and releases on the seminal Big Apple label, they were about to create a new phase of dubstep.
At first Skream specialised in one flavour of dubstep: dark. His clipped, techy minimal style became a trademark sound. Long before grime existed, it reflected dark murky streets and sinister nights, the sound of decaying London and its frustrated communities, stuck out in satellite towns and sink estates with nothing but a PC and freely available software to channel their frustration into. Stuck in front of a PC for days on end, that's exactly what Skream did. Then two years ago Digital Mystikz burst onto the dubstep scene, expanding the sound with new flavours and vivid colours. Skream became even more inspired. It not like he wasn't prolific already - rumour has it he's made over 1500 tracks - but out poured a host of bright new tracks from the wonderkid. Indian remix took him into trippy Asian territories, Cheeky... into Arabia, his unreleased mixes of Sunship fused Jamaican dancehall smut with hooky Kraftwerk melodies. "Smiling Face" broke out cheerful reggae skanks on dancefloors. But his biggest tune was yet to come. Enter Midnight Request Line - on Tempa records - an anthemic explosion of electro arpeggios and dub sub-bass. It's a tune you can sing along to: Skream has it as his own ringtone. When it got dropped by DJ Youngsta at club Forward» grime dons Wiley, Jammer and the rest of Roll Deep began to shock out, flashing their lighters out of hard earned respect. The flip of this mighty release is bassline boomer "I," an excursion into deep dub basslines and shifting cinematic textures. ***Since the huge success of Midnight Request Line UK & International DJ gigs have been coming thick and fast, with Skream getting a rapturous response at New York's rammed Dub War event, as well as at shows in Leeds, Belgium, Bristol & Germany. He's also been busy releasing classic after classic on the popular Skreamizm EPs, now into the second volume. From the Amen heavy rinse out of Lightning Dub, to the masterclass in LFO-wobbling sub-bass Blipstream, these tracks are rewound at every dubstep rave, have received glowing reviews and are appearing in sets by DJs as diverse as Mr Scruff, FreQ Nasty & Ricardo Villalobos.*** It shouldn't come as any surprise he likes sub-bass, Skream has grown up around it. His older brother was a member of Croydon's notorious jungle hell-raising raving outfit Intanatty Crew, which featured Radio 1's Grooverider and Bailey's 1Xtra as members. Ollie, Skream's real name, is no stranger to a bit of hell raising himself, famous for his up-for-it behaviour at parties or out on the town. In fact he's the only known music artist with a subdued alter-ego. Most rock stars are quiet by day with flamboyant alter-egos. Our wonderkid is the other way around. But then that's wonderkids like Skream for you: unique.

Ribbz & Docstafari - BRING THAT BEAT BACK 2001 MIX
One of the few founding fathers of the Louisana jungle movement still doin the damn thing, Ribbz' philosophy is simple - he believes in sustainable living, self-reliance, organic farming, grassroots movements, metaphysics, God, People, Earth, Peace, Love, Joy, Righteousness & Rasta Roots!It may seem like a lot, but to pinpoint exactly what you live by in this day and age is a feat in itself. His musical tastes range from jungle to drum and bass, from reggae to dub, from hip-hop, from rock to hard rock to hardcore rock to heavy metal, from jazz to ska, from classical to bluegrass . . . He says, "Dood, i love GOOD MUSIC! The best music is HOMEMADE!"When asked about his thoughts on TV, Ribbz states, "television is the main method of executing mind control therby controlling an unsuspecting society of Media addicts.Turn off your TV! Go outside! Be creative!" Nicely put!He lives to kick back with good books, such as: The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins, Art of Shen Ku by Zeek, How to Grow More Vegetables by John Jeavons, and The Biological Farmer by Gary Zimmer just to name a few.
