“In the days before the opening, Dalek is busying himself by creating several pieces of art especially for Soho Mixed Media Bar. It’s live painting, for those that want to stop by, and a great chance to view his creative process. We’ll be covering the goings on for those that can’t get to the islands.”

A interesting exhibition is just around the corner – Dalek and Delta get together to showcase their work at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in London. Both artists are known for their excellent use of color and shape. The exhibition will run from August 28th until September 26th. Definitely something to look out for!

We reported about the Dalek and Mike Giant exhibition which opened last week in Paris. Our friends of BKRW sat down with Dalek to talk about his latest works and specifically about the move from more character driven art to patterns in this new exhibition. Check it out!

The Magda Danysz Gallery is pleased to welcome two major artists from the street art scene who have developed very unique styles of their own : Dalek and Mike Giant. Though they have very different styles they talk about the same culture, the same influences and the same world.

Dalek is one of the artists who just like Shepard Fairey, Dave Kinsey, and Twist (aka Barry McGee) is taking the old school styles of graffiti while exposing the work to a whole new audience.

Mike Giant has added the whole tattoo culture to his graffiti background. He started writing in 1989. Early on, he was influenced by his graffiti partners a lot, as well as by writers like Twist, Rem, and KR. A habit he has kept from his graffiti years as now, Mike Giant uses words as the building blocks of language.

The exhibition runs from April 25th until May 23rd. Example works of both artists follow after the jump.

We present you the latest addition to the Zune Originals Artist Series. Once again they managed to get some prominent names on board to grace the music player with their artwork. Zune worked with Dalek, Gemini and Emil Kozak in this latest run.

One of the greatest things for us is always to meet like-minded people from around the world and thankfully it also is a worldwide movement. It might sometimes does not seem that way, as we mostly report about US, Japanese and some European brands, but in the end of the day it is global. Proof is once again, when Carrot Clothing from Serbia hit us up recently.
The rather young brand is making big waves in their country and presents some nice collaborations in their new Fall/Winter 2008 collection. They got together with 123 Klan, Dalek and B-Shit on t-shirts, fitted caps and skatedecks as part of their collection, which also offers a lot of skate inspired cut & sew pieces.
Have a look at the collection after the jump and don’t be surprised to hear more of them in the future.
