The New Urban Bomb Works Blog

Welcome to the new Urban Bomb Works Street Art blog! We will be frequently posting articles on street art, topics and the UBW #ShoutOut to talented artists. Walls, canvas, illustrations, box trucks, sticker bombers, wildstyle, graff writers... We have love for all the Urban Bomb Workers!
We figured we'll start out the first article with an introduction to the who, what where and why of what we're doing here.

Urban Bomb Works is a collective of Artists, Collectors and Dealers, all with a passion for street art.  Starting over 20 years ago with spray cans in hand, the crew has progressed into a team of proficient art promoters who conduct expositions, social media marketing and represent several types of artists and buyers.

While we have a great collection of both originals and limited edition prints by artists including: Banksy, Ben Eine, Icy & Sot, IHeArt, Jerkface, Keith Haring, Penny, Pez (France) and adding more daily. We are also seeking new artists looking to be promoted into new sale opportunities.

We are primarily based in the United States, with Urban Bomb Workers in NYC and Southern California. We also work closely with artists and dealers throughout the US, Canada, Europe and recently Cuba.

We do it because we love street art! With roots in the "outside" wall working world, we feel the act of throwing up a piece as a gift to every person blessed enough to appreciate it and the purest form of art. In the past few years, works previously considered "vandalism" are now being sold for thousands at contemporary art auctions. Unfortunately, they are  being painted over by Public Works at a much faster rate.

The enhanced appreciation by popular culture has driven "inside" works to the next level. Canvas, screen and digital prints have all given everyone the opportunity to own and save a piece of this art forever. We look forward to supporting the street art culture and to continue connecting artists and collectors for at least another 20 years!
