Classic Shepard Fairey street art on Wooster St. in SoHo, New York City. The anthropomorphic spray can in this wheat-paste poster is holding a picture of the iconic, high-contrast image of Andre the Giant, which Fairey made famous and in turn made him famous — it was the artist’s launch pad to global underground fame.

Last weekend the new Banksy documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop had its premiere screening at the Sundance Film Festival. The film features Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and a host of others involved in the global street-art scene. The movie was inspired by — and is in part focused on — attempts by a French filmmaker to hunt down the mysterious British artist and make a documentary about him. Check out the quasi-trailer below.

Left-foot high-stop sneaker wheat-paste poster with blinding Day-Glo yellow-green color background, Wooster Street, SoHo, in downtown New York City. There’s a lot of excellent street art on the west side of the block south of Grand Street. Notable nearby landmarks of sorts are Deitch Projects art gallery and annex and Lucky Strike restaurant.

Haculla wheat-paste street art on Wooster Street in SoHo, in downtown New York City. This artwork riffs on iconic imagery from the cover art of a 1980’s Bruce Springsteen album and single, “Born in the U.S.A.” The phrase “Born to Run” references the name of saxophone-infused pop-rock classic hit by “the Boss” from another album a decade earlier.

Awesome street art painting on a store-front roller shutter near the Landmark Sunshine Cinema on E. Houston St. in New York City. The artwork features images of comic-book and film superhero Batman and a cartoony character that looks like a mouse in bondage suit, a la the Gimp in Pulp Fiction. “Help?” calls out underneath. A close inspection of the work reveals that the artwork is composed of colorful photographic images of branded Lego bricks. An even closer look and the viewer can find specific references to iconic works of art by artist Jeff Koons and Norwegian painter Edvard Munch ( “The Scream“) — look carefully at the ears and eyes of the mousey gimp.

Here’s a wonderful, fresh wheat-paste street-art poster by A.S.V.P. in downtown New York City. We’ve been really digging A.S.V.P.’s graphic aesthetic. They’ve been increasingly prolific in recent months around lower Manhattan.

This paste-up is in SoHo, on Broome St. near the Capital One bank on Lafayette St. This spot is a frequent canvas for artists. Bast has often put up artwork in this space, which, incidentally, is on the block where the late Australian actor Heath Ledger lived and passed away.
