Yis “Nosego” Goodwin
NoseGo is a Philadelphia-based artist with a passion for illustration and media arts. He mixes fine art with a contemporary style to deliver highly energetic work. His designs feature an assemblage of patterns, vibrant colors and characters derived from his imagination and his surrounding environment.
“Anything Is Possible. When the restrictions of this physical world are chipped away, all that remains is ‘Goons World’. A world which the imagination rules, and laws of man bend and crumble.” -Goons
AND THE SAME NIGHT AT THE SAME PLACE:

Over the course of a year ( 2010 – 2011 ), a founding member of PRIMARY & the notorious Miami mark maker “PUCHO” had the pleasure of traveling together weekly from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. On average, their 35 minute commute consisted of dialogues where the state of Miami graffiti and street art was a topic in question. Somewhere in these undocumented, private communications, a bond was developed & a common foundation was established . . . A passion for vandalism.
Gutteral grunts of smeared color across lumpen or attenuated limbs akimbo, eye balls bulging and staring with body language and gestures happily inclusive, the Canemorto trio are grotesquely entertaining many a wall across Italy these days. Neneboy, Zenop, and Azz the One are three Italian Street Artists “who paint together as a single person” using the name that means “dead dog”.
Not exactly mannerists like Il Parmigianino, you can still see the painting DNA of a rich cultural heritage inform their freewheeling hand even as they elongate and distort and recolor, letting the street encourage spontaneity, as it often will. Like a dead dog along the roadside, you may feel a little put off, but you also feel compelled to inspect it nonetheless. And perhaps take a picture. In a way, that could be the intention.
Here we look at recent pieces from Milano at night, a work made in Lodi in collaboration with EmaJons and Cripsta, and a work made in Saronno. A special shout out to photographer El Pacino for the excellent black and white night shots.
And so it’s back to East London again for UK exports ‘The London Police’ for their first solo art show in England since 2009.
This time around the Amsterdam-based lads have themed their show around sports and games and, although they have totally mistimed their sterling effort of jumping on the Olympic bandwagon, the essex born duo have produced a slick show of considered artworks and designer sport products.
Far from her hometown of Rondebosch in Cape Town, South Africa, Street Artist Nard Star (or simply Nard) just completed this fox in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. With references that include cubism, graffiti, and street art, she often includes characters and animals along with text treatments, always in a defined and precise line style and steady hand. Self-taught as a child, Nard eventually got some formal training as an artist and is hitting more walls than ever as her visual vocabulary continues to refine and define.
DUDE! We’re on Instagram! http://instagram.com/bkstreetart#. @BKStreetArt E’rbody Holla! and Follow! Now we can stop this whole wack blog thing, right?
Here’s our weekly interview of the street, this week featuring Billy Kid, Don John, Iced Coffee, ND’A, NYCe, Poster Boy (or some variant), RONE, Trek Matthews, and some slight alterations Al Pacino, Helen Mirren, and Tom Cruise.
Periodically we like to highlight another blog post that has caught our eye and here is a story about a billboard re-purposer named OX who likes to claim in the name of art, and humor.
“French artist, OX’s, latest ad takeover at Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, is a site – and weather – specific artwork that was planned for this out-of-town location due to OX’s fondness for displaying his artworks backed by barren suburban landscapes, as well as the changing nature of the Parisian billboard space, which makes it ever harder to find suitable billboards to hijack.”
“This latest work incorporates the billboard stand into the work, which OX knots, and camouflages with the blue Paris sky.” Click on UNDERGROUND PARIS to continue reading and to see more photos of OX.
A new photography show that captures the street in the borough you love organized by Jim Kiernan and Aakash Nihalani.
Opening tonight at 17 Frost Gallery in Williamsburg, “The Brooklyn” features photography by Barry Yanowitz, Chris Arnade, Jaime Rojo, Jake Dobkin, Jamel Shabazz, Jim Kiernan, Lucas McGowen, Luna Park, Mario Brotha, Matt Weber, Sam Horine, and Timothy Schenck.
Our weekly focus on the moving image and art in the streets. And other oddities.

Old Norse: Conor Harrington’s trip to Vardo, Norway
A short poetic film by Andrew Telling documenting Conor Harrington’s trip to Vardø, Norway, with some incidental paintings thrown in to remind you why you started watching. The sumptous, stunning score by Lucinda Chua leads your mind into a Nordic trance.
Shepard Fairey “Sound and Vision”
In London for the music inspired show at Stolen Space, Street Artist Shepard Fairey introduces you to some of his influences in music and to Z-Trip, the living breathing musical component of the installation. Also, he shipped a thousand of his own records to the show. Dude. Also, a few street slaps at the end.
