Hey y’all! Yesterday at 4:00pm (uk time) a slew of original, destined to be priceless pieces of nouveau street art went on sale, courtesy of Brooklyn based outfit ‘Faile’. Over the past year Faile’s profile in the UK has risen steadily, thanks in part to their work being featured in Banksy’s “Cans Festival” and Tate Modern’s current celebration of the movement, 'street blah' or something. Faile’s style is a mixture of stencil and comic book graphics with a visible reference to erotica and anime. However, rather than go for the shock factor favored by other street artists their work is often made to blend in with it's urban surroundings, the pieces often resembleing fly-poster’s or hookers calling cards. This is said to be a comment on societys' obsession with graffiti as vandalism, whilst illegal advertising still maintains a relatively low profile... Anyway. If your feeling rich mosey on down to www.faile.net and get your hands something nice for your bachelor/bachelorette pad. Due to the high demand they are operating a lottery system for originals, but prints are ready to go. P.S. Keep your eye’s peeled on their site for updates on their coming London Show!
