My LA readers will be heading to Thinkspace Gallery (that is, if they want to keep their street cred) to check out Mostly Memory, the dual show of Armsrock and Elbow-Toe, running through Jan. 2.



I Guarantee No Disappointment
Maybe One Day You'll Be Judging My Mess...
My London readers should make the trip to Madison Contemporary Art (5 New Cavendish Street, W1) to check out the newest series from photographer Eamonn McCabe, titled Writers' Rooms, in which he voyeuristically documents the working spaces of such legends of the written word as Ian Rankin and Roald Dahl.


Tribal Beat
I love artist Lucy McLauchlan's primal, almost tribal style of painting figures and shapes. Her hard-edged, graphic murals and installations are almost overpowering yet intricate. Catch her work at The New Art Gallery in Walsall, UK.



All Good Things Come From Sweden
Sydney designer (by way of Sweden) Magdalena Czarnecki has a great portfolio of work on her site.




Nick Dewar Illustration (Serves 4)
Add 4 cups high-quality illustrator to stock pot, bring to rolling boil to release bad ideas and unnecessary flourishes, lower heat and simmer until concepts have reduced to their most potent concentration. Season to taste.



Attacking the Canvas From All Angles
I'm loving the angular tension of Phil Ashcroft's paintings.



Taking it From the Streets
London artist Sickboy has officially taken his art from the street to the gallery, exhibiting his work for the first time in a gallery (actually in a house set up within a warehouse) with his Stay Free exhibition last week.





Membership Has Its Benefits
Considering the popularity of the screen printed poster lately, the chaps at Print Club London have a fantastic idea, giving everyone a chance to print their own. They offer workshops, printing services and memberships so you can schedule time to work. Genius!



I Think She Might be a Witch??
Yulia Brodskaya creates amazing paper sculpture, and I have no idea how she does it. Phenomenal.


The Spiderwebs of the Art World
Inspired by the chalkboard drawing and erasing process, painter Gary Simmons' work is intricate and delicate, yet powerful.


It's Unintentional Painting Day
I didn't exactly set out to do so, but it just so happens that today is all about painting at The Best Part. Beginning with the fabulous work of Brooklyn's own Kevin Cyr. Enjoy!
