Which Hotel Features These Artists?
Yesterday, as part of a subversive campaign to take back advertising locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, the Public Art Campaign had local artists, including Mint and Serf, seen here, paint over ads. Mint and Serf also painted their work in a hotel recently. Can you tell me the name of the hotel?
Let's Go Trend Hunting: Wordy Furniture and Graffitied Home Finds
This month, at Paris's trade interior design show Maison & Objet, UK designer Andrew Martin, who's known for his Union Jack motif furniture, showed off some other, bold prints, including this chair upholstered in designer Martin Waller’s new God Bless America fabric.

Guerilla Artist Banksy Has Official Exhibit in His Hometown
Anonymous in the age of celebrity and making artwork with social commentary while other artists cash in, graffiti artist Banksy has intrigued audiences with his art and identity since he began stencilling/vandalizing public property in the early '90s. (No official image of the guy exists!) Known for installing his own work surreptitiously in museums, Banksy helped mount a surprise exhibit in his hometown — Banksy versus Bristol Museum. The exhibit is supposed to be Banksy's way of thanking Bristol for giving his street art its first canvas.

Trend Alert: Graffiti Rock
Fun Fab fact: I wrote my high school senior paper on graffiti art. I was obsessed with taggers, break dancers, Beat Street, Style Wars — everything old school. I still find the roots of the hip-hop underworld to be fascinating, even if I don't dress like a boy anymore.
On Our Radar: Marc Jacobs Graffitis Louis Vuitton
Marc Jacobs was so smitten by his 2001 collaboration with designer and artist Stephen Sprouse that he has created a capsule collection in his honor.
“I totally channeled Stephen,” Jacobs said of the Louis Vuitton line, which includes t-shirts, dresses, sunglasses, bracelets, a towel, and a sweatband.
Sprouse passed away in 2004, but his streetwise aesthetic and Day-Glo graffiti were highly popular in the '80s.
