Paris, Line by Line is a beautiful new title from Universe, which follows the success of Robinson’s previous 2009 re-release, New York, Line by Line. Both titles are actually reprinted vintage gems, originally published in the 1960′s; the result of German artist Robinson’s travel-inspired art.

Arrested Motion have just posted a recap of many of the murals that went up on the streets of Kaka’ako during POW WOW 2013. The photos were supplied by the very talented Brandon Shigeta, who also works for Hypebeast, and is a certified architect no less. Check out all the AM coverage of POW WOW 2013 here.
British illustrator Neil Stevens has created these excellent Flight Tag prints. Perhaps it’s because I love traveling so much that these graphics evoke a nice sense of going somewhere; presumably heading to or from an airport. Via grain edit.
Instagram is one of the best ways to follow all the amazing art going up on the streets of Kaka’ako this week. The POW WOW HAWAII instagram page is probably your best bet, but there’s tons more out there, especially if you follow the contributing artists such as Jeff Hamada, Hannah Stouffer, Jeff Soto, Sam Rodriguez, Shark Toof, Wu Yue, and Nychos. There are tons of talented creative folks out here!

Last week, I was lucky enough to go to Miami for the first time, and check out some of what Art Basel and Design Miami and the ten million satellite events have to offer. There was far more going on than I could have seen on one visit. One definite highlight of the trip was The Wynwood Walls, the jewel of Miami’s Wynwood warehouse district. [View Photos]
I posted about the incredible project by Spanish collective Boa Mistura in São Paulo earlier this year. They painted huge, bright murals which read words like “beauty” and “sweetness” across several buildings, when viewed from the right perspective. Now there’s a great 17min documentary out about the eye-catching project. The Vimeo page has some more info about it. Via Arrested Motion. [Watch Video]
I’ve posted a little bit of ROA’s work here in LA before. Here’s a nice feature of ROA’s latest work in Perth, Western Australia, over on Wooster Collective. Even though I’ve never actually lived in “the most remote city on Earth,” it’s sort of my hometown in a funny way. It’s a beautiful place. Here are some more West Australia photos from a trip there last year. EDIT: My mother very kindly pointed out that 2/3 of those photos are definitely in Sydney. Here’s a real photo of ROA in West Australia.
