The Californian pop artist Jeff Soto is in town with his first ever UK show. Soto’s style is inspired by science fiction, childhood toys, the colourful lifestyle of skateboarding and graffiti, hip-hop and popular culture. The Inland Empire exhibition at Stolen Space features over 20 new wood panel paintings, focusing on the theme of recession in the area in which Soto lives and how it reflects what is happening the world over, open to view until 7 June 2009.

The adverts read “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life” as the Metropolitan Police attempt to recruit Volunteer Police Officers. The Space Hijackers have added their own spin on the poster by including a dark figure symbolising police brutality. Only noticeable at night when it gets dark, the poster lights up to release the shadowy figure upon the unsuspecting public. Alterations to the adverts have been made in light of the controversial death of Ian Tomlinson at the recent G-20 London summit protests.
James Jarvis is an illustrator most known for his Amos Toys brand. Having decorated NikeTown London last year Jarvis builds his relationship with Nike by producing a short cartoon entitled Onwards. In the video, having warmed up the skinny large headed yellow character runs through an imaginary world with changing landscape and fun occurrences.

We posted images of two New Banksy’s that popped up in Gillette Square, Dalston and by the North Circular Road in Hendon. Both of which have since been painted over. The wall in Dalston has been painted over. On Gillette Square another lick of paint is credited to a graffer named 10 Foot, adding the words “Say No To Art Fags” and “RIP Ozone, F*ck Banksy” (pictured left). Whilst by the motorway near Hendon (pictured right) someone has painted “Price-less” over the original artists monetarily valuable work.
The defacing of the Dalston piece is actually the most recent of many by 10 Foot and Tox. More commentary over the jump on further attacks on work by Banksy, Part2ism and Best Ever.
Dr D has been busy putting a spin on the recent Duffy Diet Coke campaign which has been plaguing billboards and televisions nationwide. He has put his own take on the Duffy ad by drawing narrative from real cokehead Amy Winehouse.
The Amy Winehouse poster reading “I hear Duffy’s selling coke” can be found near Whitecross Street market.
