The Big Egg Hunt was a plan hatched by Elephant Family and Action for Children for a record-breaking egg hunt across Central London to raise money for these two eggshell-ent causes!
Over 200 uniquely crafted eggs, created by leading artists, designers, architects and jewellers, will be hidden across the capital this Easter. Get onto the www.thebigegghunt.co.uk for the full details and collect your map and download the app. All eggs are also up for auction.
An impressive bunch of artists are taking part and have crafted their own egg. Just to mention a few – Nick & Rob Carter, The Chapman Brothers, Anony Micallef. But the focus will be here on Nathalie Priem’s egg creation – a superb egg made of steel and gilded in 23.5 carat gold! (photo included below)
> Get bidding to make sure to get Nathalie’s Priem’s egg!
The artist, with the help of Wooden Horse London (www.woodenhorselondon.com), a new bespoke design and fabrication company in Hackney, is what she says about her artwork:
“The Golden Egg was born from my desire to understand where and how beauty is perceived in the artefacts we create. Stemming from an interest in the human need to create pleasing visual proportions within the things we construct and the seemingly contrasting chaotic driving forces of nature, the Golden egg is an example of mathematics within nature, and nature within rigid form. Built upon the Fibonacci series and the golden ratio, every curve within the Golden Egg portrays both precision and elegance. It looks to demonstrate that the inventions of mankind will always be dictated to by nature, a beautiful framework within which we are all held.”
Justin Nethercut has put a great video in which he interviews two Baltimore graffiti writers who have been rather busy as of late – Ceda & Dume.
This first film of a monthly video series Justin is going to be directing for them on street art and urban art in Baltimore City.
The photograph below is also awesome and as the video is courtesy of Justin Nethercut!

Artists Blu and Ericailcane joined forces in Bologna and have produced a rather mighty mural in Bologna, Italy. Ericailcane got in charge of the animals while Blu put up the cage and other elements.

I could not sound more hipster than saying – “I am going to the latest instalment of the Boiler Room Make Sessions, the world’s leading underground music show, where there will be some Red Stripe to drink at will. The whole thing is Hackney and 14 Bike Co will build five bespoke Red Stripe inspired fixed-gear bikes – live.”
I have not made this up. It is happening tomorrow and I am going to such a thing. I am actually looking forward to it as I have heard from Boiler Room and it has rather been a positive feedback.
Added to the bike sort of live workshops, the tunes should be banging.DJs Steve Braiden, XXXY, Midland and Paul Woolford are there for that and will play the decks back to back.

Artist Denis Medri gives us his vision on how would several Star Wars characters look like if they were from the Eighties. This series is awesome and Denis, beyond is obvious pencil drawing skills, managed to cleverly transpose two worlds miles apart.
Have a look at the pictures below along with the artist’s comments –
“of course Luke is inspired by Marty McFly form Back to the Future… Leila is the classic 80’s chick…”
“Here is Han and Chewbie ,and the Millenium Falcon/Trans AM”
“Of course in this new re-design the Droids have to be the classic Nerds… is R2-D2 the East European nerd student that made an experience in USA of course only C-3PO understand his words..”
“Yoda is the old sage asian Coach, and Kenobi is the kind history & Literature’s teacher…”
“In this my new version of SW , Vader isn’t the Luke’s father, but is the classic bullit of the High School, that try to bring Luke to the “dark side” and been bullit too.. He is the “chief “of a motocross crew of bullit ( like “Karate Kid” or “Lost Kids”) He wear a jacket like Micheal jackson on “Thriller” in a total black look Boba Fett is his “sidekick” wearing his classic 80’s glasses and we have 2 twins that look like Trooper”s style.”
“Palpatine is the evil Principal, Jabba the fat bastard Janitor and Tarkin the severe Mathematic-Science’s teacher”
Medri is the same artist who brought us Steampunk Spider-Man and Batman Rockabilly.
We have already featured Clemens Behr‘s cardboards installations and are again very happy to do so. This time, the playground is in Paris and the collaboration is with French painter Romain Froquet.
The fruit of this partnership are two eye-catching 3D installations enhanced by Froquet’s neat and intricate abstract paintings which can be seen below. The video of this collaborative work has also been included below.
