The building on the corner of 6th and Howard St. in San Francisco is a multi-disciplinary sculptural mural displaying furniture like tables, cupboards, a grandfather clock and a fridge. All objects are fastened to the walls of the building making the illusion that they were being thrown out of the windows which is exactly what the word defenestration means “to thrown out of the window” The building is also a mural for 4 graffiti elements of hip-hop: the BBoy, the DJ, the MC, and the Writer.
I came across these very interesting graffiti portraits on the web. It wasn’t said where they are or who made them however I think they are somewhere in Europe not in the UK although the sign is in English. If you have information regarding these portraits please write and comment or send me an e-mail.
Here we go, another set of “vandalisms” from Banksy. This time black stencils and a very colorful elephant in the end. Most of you have seen Banksy’s works and already know what to expect. If you haven’t I’m sure you’ll like them. Enjoy the collection.
It has been some time since I’ve posted graffiti photos here. I’ve decided to change that and got some shots together. And as luck would have it I came across the orange mice and the monster bowl aka swimming pool graffiti which I think is pure genius. Enjoy the collection.
Kurt Wenner began street painting in Rome in 1982 and by 1984 he was already one of the few recognized street painters. He devised a unique geometry that allowed him to make flat images seem 3d. Kurt makes the most wonderful 3d painting. Here is a video and some photos. The link to Kurt’s site is below.
The author of these graffiti images is Tom Blackford. Tom is a freelance illustrator who lives and works in London. As I said before I don’t think graffiti is vandalism and I like this form of expression. Be sure to visit Tom’s website for more images the link is below as usual.
We’ve already had a post about light graffiti and here is a fresh batch made by Paulo Antunes. The technique is simple - set a slow shutter speed, wait till it gets dark, take a flash light or any other light source and you are good to go. When making figures you don’t need to repeat the pattern, one stoke to make the line is enough.
Now, this is not what most of us expect to see thinking about graffiti. These are made on ruins of buildings and walls. Not the best place to display graffiti works - not many admirers in these kinda places. But still, these make a good impression and the surrounding ruins help a lot.
Here are some graffiti photos done by Truly Design. As I have said before I’m not opposed to graffiti, I like it when people use the city as their canvas. Enjoy the graffiti guys.
