MOOSE: The Art Of Cleaning / Reverse Graffiti
This is the definition of defying convention through innovation; armed with a wire brush, cleaning supplies, and the occasional powerwasher, Moose leaves the traditional tools of graffiti at home. His works, created by selectively removing the grit, grime, shit and carbon that collects on urban surfaces like algae in an unkept pond, range from personal projects to commercial advertising and embrace a leave-no-trace mentality while making big marks.

The World According to Sam Chivers
In looking over Sam Chiver's artblog you can see that he is constantly evolving his ideas. The blog runs back to 2008 when he was screenprinting women vampires and fire mistresses, painting anonymous happy faces over old magazine photos, cut out collages of complete abstract landscapes to now doing digital work for clients from bands to corporations that combines all of this elements. I dont know how young Sam is but the progression from optimistic experimenter to making-a-living professional can be the most interesting period of an artist's career and his is on display at www.samchivers.com.

Walrus TV: Futura Interview from The Run Up
I've had to be real patient. It all didnt happen right away. Even in the midst of the whole gallery art world I thought this was the greatest thing in the world, but there was more. -Futura
Known for pioneering a more abstract style of graffiti writing, Futura played a major role in the NYCs graffiti scene of the 70s. As the popularity of graffiti art flared in the 70's and 80's, Futura's work was shown alongside artists such as Basquiat and Keith Haring. As his style developed, he began designing, and has collaborated with numerous artists and companies, including The Clash, Supreme, and A Bathing Ape. Get an inside look at his workspace and his love for b movies, video games and, apparently, all things Sony in the interview from "The Run Up", available to the public for free for the first time on Walrus TV. via WalrusTV

From GayRVA: Attorney General Requests VA Colleges Remove Non-Discrimination Policies for LGBT
In a bold move certainly geared towards appeasing his socially conservative constituents, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued the following advice to the General Assembly:
“It is my advice that the law and public policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia prohibit a college or university from including “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” “gender expression,” or like classification, as a protected class within its non-discrimination policy, absent specific authorization from the General Assembly,” Kuccinelli wrote.
We disagree for a variety of reasons, however we'll defer commentary to GayRVA as they've collected statements from Equality Virginia and the VA ACLU.
