Futura sprays a wall in a gallery

Futura's a bit more discerning in his choice of walls these days, which is why he opted for the Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont in Paris for his exhibition entitled Expansions. Part of this involved a large  mural, the painting of which was captured on film.

Futura sunglasses: on your face

One thing you can say about Futura - whatever he turns his hand to, he does it with style, from a spraycan painting to a pair of handcrafted sunglasses.

Look at these sunglasses he's done in collaboration with Kaneko in Japan.

Futura x 12ozProphet: time heals

Call me an old woman, but Futura lost a bit of my favour after he promised to send me something which I never got. I don't know what it was - could have been a dog turd in the shape of a Pointman for all I know, but I trusted him with my address and what happened? Nothing. In fairness to Futura I don't actually know if it was him who was emailing.

And if you are reading this Futura, or Futura impersonator, I have moved.

So it is with a degree of reluctance that I post this video of the New York graffiti artist and his collaboration with 12ozProphet. It isn't so much the colab as the insight Futura offers to his background, from the beginnings as a writer on the street to his well-known works with the likes of Unkle.

But I recognise a legend when I see one and to that end I wish Futura the best of luck. Even if he is a bit flaky on the postal front.
