Faile. Currently made up of Patrick McNeil (a dirty Canadian) and Patrick Miller (a brave American citizen), there’s hardly a New Yorker below 14th street who hasn’t seen one of their works. They’ve travel to Tokyo, Copenhagen, Berlin, London, Zurich, and Amsterdam with their graphic, pop wheat pastes. You can get your very own piece of Faile in the form of a book, t-shirt, or little trinket, available via theironline store. K$
In one piece of art Darcel was able to capture a day in the life of almost every New Yorker. Brilliant. RYAN DYE

Blu is from Bologna, Italy. Blu is also just awesome. Give his web site a look next time your boss is in a meeting or whatever because it’s well of amazing art. Be warned, however, there is a lot of stuff thematized by violent eye-gouging angst over the state of the modern world (see Haley’s post about gladiator sandals). His sketches are narrative and evocative, but his outdoor wall work is simply astonishing. I respect not only his skill as a painter but his logistical prowess–he works on a much grander scale than most street artists at the moment. He is also the most aloof of the 6, so don’t expect to find his picture anywhere. K$

House of Orange is a hot little agency in the Netherlands. They represent the usual suspects; hair people, stylists, photographers, and models. The thing I found special about them is that they just put out there first publication, HOUSE OF ORANGE ISSUE 1. Its a genious idea, put out a magazine featuring all of your own clients and get advertising at the same time, duh. RYAN DYE
