Only 50 shirts from the notorious street artist/vandal

Street artist and professional vandal Kidadult has quickly made a name for himself in the worldwide graffiti community by causing massive havoc to top tier luxury brands — mainly by spraying his tag in giant letters over the storefronts of brands like Louis Vitton, Hermès, Kenzo and recently the Maison Martin Margiela flagship store in Brussels.

Despite the armies of lackluster taggers and copycat wheatpasters, some artistic misfits put a lot of vision and meaning into their work.

The rise of the subvertisment movement. Resistance is (not) futile.

England is recently home to an international subvertising campaign hosting 25 artists from around the world. The artists designed large scale subvertisements to fit over public space billboards in a convention that has come to be known as Brandalism. The subvertisments mean to take back the landscape and put a fork in the eye of […]


While many youngins may be caught up in the brilliance of Banksy and the statement his graffiti makes because it’s seen as new and groundbreaking, we may be reluctant to think that he too could’ve been strongly influenced by someone else. Have you ever heard of Blek Le Rat? I’ll admit it, I hadn’t. In […]
