We’re celebrating the end of one year and the beginning of the next by thanking BSA Readers, Friends, and Family for your support in 2025. Picked by our followers, these photos are the heavily circulated and “liked” selections of the year – shot by our Editor of Photography, Jaime Rojo. We’re sharing a new one every day to celebrate all our good times together, our hope for the future, and our love for the street. Happy Holidays, Everyone!
This one caught our eye for the merging of classic graffiti nerve, blunt style execution, sentimental velvety roses, inspirational verses, and the organic smash of an evolving community wall. Not to mention the cross-generational name “Duster” being shared and executed completely differently.
As usual in 2025, it was a casual week of parades, protests, and military deployments—just your average backdrop for all the high school graduations, weddings, camping trips that happen this time of year. In Los Angeles, 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines were deployed after ICE raids shook entire neighborhoods, prompting the governor to cry federal overreach. Meanwhile, the “No Kings” movement lit up an estimated 2,000 cities with protests against authoritarian drift, right as Trump celebrated his 79th birthday with a U.S. Army parade in DC featuring tanks, jets, fireworks, and an ambiance best described as “military cosplay meets birthday bash.” To keep the global tension meter on high, Israel launched strikes on Iran, and Iran responded by hitting Tel Aviv—because apparently, world affairs now follow the same script as a group chat argument, with grave consequences.
In art and culture news, the Trump administration has proposed eliminating federal funding for NPR, PBS, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, with the House approving a $1.1 billion rescission that is now headed to the Senate. Simultaneously, over 500 arts grants from the National Endowment for the Arts have been revoked—especially those tied to DEI or LGBTQ+ themes—and the 2026 budget proposes dismantling the NEA entirely.
Here is our weekly interview with the streets, this week featuring Adam Fujita, Bonut, Drew, Duster, Four Star, Great Boxers, Hef, JJ Veronis, KAM, Kristy McCarthy, LNE Crew, Nite Owl, Seaizing, and SHC.

Brexit deadlock is like a thorn in the side of the UK people this week, Trump is shutting down the US government partially here for almost a month (to celebrate 2 years in the White House?), the ‘Yellow Vests’ are striking through France for the 10th weekend, its going to get very cold tonight in New York, and your cousin Marlene is back from the local Women’s March with fire in her eyes and hope in her heart. As usual, the streets are alive with Street Art and graffiti, and we’re bringing it to you.
Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this time featuring 2501, Add Fuel, BirdCap, BustArt, C3, City Kitty, Cranio, Duster, Edu Danesi, Fafi, Frances Forever, Jaeryaime, Kram, LMNOPI, Mark Jenkins, Neon Savage, Os Boys, Pez, Rx Skulls, Sickid, Tatiana Fazlalizadeh, UFO 907, and Zaira Noir .
