This past weekend’s third iteration of the Welling Court block party, organized by the tireless Alison and Garrison Buxton, was a huge success. The total number of walls now painted in this corner of Astoria has almost reached 100! Here’s a small taste of what went down on Saturday…

Becki Fuller’s 2010 Top 40

Posted on 12/31/2010 by Becki Fuller | Leave a comment

2010 has been yet another crazy year, filled with lots of change, adventure, and as always, fun. The highlight for me was the adoption of my dog Ava, who I consider to be New York’s #1 pit bull street art model. I was also very fortunate in getting to meet and spend time with some really fantastic people, such as ECB, Jef Aerosol, Sweet Toof, Ludo, and Roa, during their stays in the city. My trips to Oaxaca, Art Basel Miami, and getting to see Steve Powers bring his Love Letter project to my hometown of Syracuse were a great way to rounded out the year. After taking a look back on this year, I would like to share some of my favorite photos, people, art & events from 2010 (see Luna Park’s list here).

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

I’m in Miami Bitch! Photos From Art Basel, 2010

Posted on 12/15/2010 by Becki Fuller | 1 Comment

Going over my pictures from Miami and trying to decide what to post has been almost as challenging (and impossible) as it was to shoot everything that was going on during Art Basel in the first place! But for all that I missed (Burning Candy! London Police! Kid Acne!), I really had a fantastic time and felt like I never stopped moving, running into friends from all over the world and their artwork every step of the way. So, in no particular order, here are some of my favorites from Art Basel, Miami, 2010:

Art in General and Then Some

Posted on 10/23/2009 by Luna Park | Leave a comment

Last Saturday, the non-profit arts organization Art in General was host to Underground Up, a fall benefit party in an old firehouse on Lafayette Street. Artists Cake, Chris Stain and Cern were invited to create site-specific murals, the catch being they only had a few hours Saturday afternoon before the party to put up their work. It’s a good thing they know a thing or two about painting under pressure…

Cake was kind enough to invite me into the space on Monday, shortly before the pieces were painted over. [Heads up: I'll have a full interview and studio visit with Cake coming soon!]

Can’t Beat It

Posted on 09/09/2009 by Becki Fuller | Leave a comment

Since Michael Jackson’s passing in June, there has been tribute graffiti and street art popping up all around the world: from stencils on the streets of Brazil to murals in Paris. New York is, of course, no exception. Among my favorites is this new wheat paste from one of street art’s masters of celebrity collage, Bäst. Paired with Chris Stain’s woman and child stencil, this is a trio is a real Thriller (insert groans here)!
