Whatever happened to Wooster Collective?

Wooster Collective is a great site dedicated to showcasing street art from throughout the world, started by Marc and Sara Schiller.

I’ve been following it for ages but only just taken a proper look at the site, rather than just the RSS feed, and I noticed that the site seems to have fundamentally changed: I remember when it posted ‘found’ pieces from unknown artists, but it seems (suddenly?) that the site is dedicated to artists who are named, and who are presumably celebrities in the street art world.

Isn’t that completely missing the point of street art, or am I missing the point?

That aside, it’s still pretty interesting stuff and well worth following. A decent podcast was posted by Tate some time ago, but only listen to the first few minutes since it is simply an MP3 with no visuals (come on Tate, sort it out!).
