What do they look like I hear you ask?
So now movie people are using urban artists to promote new movies that aren’t about urban art? Well yes, they are. And why not! Reviews for the movie so far are decent so go check it out.
So how can you win them? IT’S EASY! Simply watch the ‘Spread’ movie trailer and email me the answer to this super easy question…
Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) says he thought every day would be like a music video for what band?
1 – Van Morrison
2 – Van Halen
3 – Vanity
Here is the movie trailer to the new LA-based movie ‘Spread’, have a watch and email the answer 1, 2 or 3 to james@world-graffiti.com, and you could have an exclusive David Ellis print flying over to you!
I’m afraid the competition is only open to people within the USA, sorry Euro and worldwide peeps…
David Ellis – Ellis is part of the Barnstormer artist collective (collective of New York/Tokyo-based artists who create large-scale collaborative paintings, films and performances), you may know him from awesome urban art animation videos like this one with Italian artist BLU…
Bit of blurb about David Ellis…
David Ellis is an artist born into a family immersed in music. In his youth Ellis had little patience with piano lessons or reading sheet music. Instead he absorbed everything on The Super Mix, a Saturday night radio program broadcast from the nearby Fort Bragg military base. Each week a new cassette tape of emerging New York hip-hop found its way into the life of a child growing up in a log house in North Carolina. By the time Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 released The Message, Ellis was writing rhymes and banging out beats with his friends on the desks at school. Things have since become much louder.
Ellis’ work continues to interpret music and sound. His paintings are often recorded in a form of digital time-lapse animation Ellis calls motion painting. Like jazz, these works provide Ellis with an opportunity to combine ideas with collaborators or work solo within a form that promotes improvisation and spontaneity. For a recent commission the artist painted a truck from sunup to sundown over five consecutive days. Ellis often stages events when exhibiting his motion paintings, inviting musicians, performers, and sound artists to interpret the work live. His motion painting, Paint on Trucks in a World in Need of Love was recently exhibited at MoMA.
Ellis’ paintings are frequently improvised. He works directly on the walls of spaces that remain open to the public during installation and shares the making of the work with viewers. The experience is much like a band playing in front of a passing audience.
Ellis further explores sound with kinetic installations that produce analogue sequences in rhythm.
Come on, you know you want one. simply email the answer to james@world-graffiti.com and I’ll be picking 3 people out at random. Closing date is 14th November so get a move on!
ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT
AVAILABLE ON DVD & BLU RAY™ November 10, 2009
SYNOPSIS:
In SPREAD, Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) isn’t a gigolo. He’s a sexual grifter, a fun-loving, freeloading hipster who understands his greatest assets are his looks and sexual prowess, which he uses to charm his way into the hearts of the city’s richest women and enjoy their lifestyle. Nikki gets a free place to live, fantastic gifts, A-list access, and plenty of sex. The women get to feel young, beautiful, and utterly fulfilled in the bedroom.
It’s a mutually beneficial set-up… That is, until Nikki is forced to choose between love and money, and decide whether he can live on his own once and for all in the hopes of finding something real.

ESTRIA and HIS GRAFFITI BATTLE
ESTRIA painting
ESTRIA began spray painting in Hawai’i in 1984 and has since painted hundreds of murals. He was an influential leader of the “Golden Age” of graffiti (1980’s) in San Francisco. He garnered national attention with his arrest for graffiti in 1994 appearing on CNN, the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner, and the National Enquirer.
He has taught classes and served the community through his non-profit cultural work for over 28 years. Estria’s life work has been to build and advance community through mural projects.
For more information on Estria, visit www.estria.com and to view more of his art, go to www.estriabattle.com.
So get to one of these 2 events in San Francisco, the Graff Exhibition (September 11th to October 9th 2009) – featuring the artwork of all the battling artists in the finals, and Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle (EIGB) FINALS (October 10th).
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of the event! So far, it looks good enough to put on photo calendars or t-shirts, it’s all about Estria’s wild colours…

Secret Wars indoor graffiti wall competition at the end of 2008, this was the semi-finals I think. It was an awesome night at Juno Bar in London. The one on the right won, they were both awesome though.
This is permanently painted on the wall of Juno Bar, London. They have old arcade machines too, nice.
The competition starts and 2 artists (I’m sorry, I don’t know their names), they get about an hour and a half to do a mural on their half of the wall using only black markers.
The urinals. I was drunk by now.
