Banksy movie?
Looks like Banksy is taking on the film industry now with a film called “exit through the gift shop” but from what I read it may be more about other artists rather than banksy himself. It looks to be filmed by Mr Brainwash…
As taken from Vandalog:
…“It is described as the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on him.” This can only mean one thing, Mr. Brainwash. Also, MBW is shown in the trailer. For a while, rumors have been circulating that MBW is Banksy, either as a massive prank on the art world that shows how good PR can make any crappy artist popular, or as an experiment to see if Banksy would be popular without the Banksy “brand name” to back him up. Well that’s just not the case. Unfortunately, MBW is a real person who thinks he is an artist, and it’s well known that he started his art career while making a documentary film about Banksy and other street artists. Apparently, this is that film. I can’t wait to see it, I only hope it makes people realize what a terrible artist MBW is, instead of adding to his allure.Also, although it hasn’t been reported if Banksy will reveal his identity or not (let’s hope not), Banksy will appear on camera in the film in some form.

Best Cities in the world for street art?
As taken from Global Graphica:
The brief article is accompanied by a slide show called Best Cities for Street Artand it lists LA, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Melbourne, Paris, Buenos Aries, Bethlehem (West Bank, Israel), and, of course, New York. Actually NYC is listed twice — both Manhattan and Brooklyn are listed separately. Failing to include Barcelona is a bit of a scandal, but otherwise it’s a pretty good summary.

2010 is the fortuitous Chinese Year of the Tiger 虎 !
The tiger is a fighter and we always back the underdog, so we are giving our loyal, lovely, creative readers the chance to bust out into the public view and make 2010 the year of putting it out there.
Putting our petty cash where our mouth is, we will be the first to step up and proudly announce Design Federation’s Friends of the Federation party on 12th February 2010. Ringing in the new year with our first public event ever to celebrate the crafty kids who have made us what we are today.
And we want you involved! This is a call-out for submissions of your work. We are looking for anything creative that can be displayed at the event, which is being held at theclub nightclub in Kings Cross (yep, we’re edgy folks.)
Send us your designs, illustrations, art, graffiti, film & video, fashion, photography, industrial design, custom toys, practically anything as long as you can supply it to us to use for one night in Sydney. Obviously it would be great if the work has not been displayed before anywhere but it is not essential.
Your work and name will be publicized on Design Federation’s website as well as affiliated blogs, sites and media outlets. You will be displayed on the night as part of the Friends of the Federation exhibition.
To participate in the event, please submit examples to events@designfederation.net before Sunday the 24th January 2010. Successful applicants will be announced the following week.
We will showcase one piece per person ( please limit example files to 2mb )
Be bold! Channel the Tiger and send us your stuff

Refillable CMYK Spraycans
Before you get too excited this is just a concept, but I like the thought multicolour scribble on walls
If you’re familiar with graffiti, you might have stood up close to a giant spraypaint masterpiece. Out in nature, right there in the scene of the “crime,” you’d see the real shame: the cans. Often when a painting is executed, the only way a street artist can escape scott-free is to leave their quickly emptied, no-good cans at the scene! Well, no more! Noone in their right mind would abandon a reusable can like this!
This design is called “Color Dial Spray.” Designed by some magnificent geniuses with a longer-lasting environment on their minds, this can has re-fillable paint containers and a super-amazing color-choosing set of dials. Yes! Select both hue and brightness, spray away, and don’t forget your large bottles of paint refill for long day of super spray!
Yes really!
It’s a can on which you can turn dials to select the color you’d like to spray. Probably not for the most giant street canvases in the world, but certainly fantastic for artists the world over.
