Today, I decided post some graffiti and street art. I have deep respect for people who spend their time creating beautiful artwork on the streets.
Graffiti Covered Building in New York
This graffiti covered building is located in New York along the route of train 7 which goes from Flushing to Times Square. The artists did a great job on this building, it looks amazing. The sign on the door says you can only paint on this building if you get a permit so I’m guessing this was a project by graffiti artist to paint the whole building or something like that.
Sewer Opening Art
The streets in Sao Paulo would still be blank if it weren’t for a few enterprising young artists. The group was busy painting the sewer openings of Sao Paulo for at least a year. The group did an amazing job, no doubt the city looks much better.
Light Graffiti
A new trend in graffiti art – light graffiti. Typical graffiti is made by using spray paint, however to make light graffiti all you need is a light source – flashlight, glowstick, fireworks, or maybe a cell phone and a camera. The results are amazing.
Graffiti
Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, or more usually spray-painted on objects, walls or buildings which is often regarded as unsightly damage or unwanted vandalism. Personally i find good graffiti art to be enjoyable. By good I mean murals. But then you have a big wall and there is a small signatures usually made by black spay paint, that is vandalism.
Thursday’s peculiar art
David Ellis lives and works in Brooklyn. The artist calls his works ‘motion paintings’ and so they are – vivid and unusual!
ANTicipation
“Seen from distance the wallpaper seems simply an antique baroque motive, but coming closer you will discover that thousands of ants are crawling on the walls creating this baroque wallpaper…”
This ANT’IQUE wallpaper is a winner project of “New Walls, Please!” 2007. ANT’IQUE wallpaper has been created by young and talented team GAMplusFRATESI.
Making the streets better
Wandering around a city, you don’t always notice the alternative art – different flash mobs and modern expressionism. Get the insight of what’s going on around you.
Knitta is a community of knitters, they first started, when these ladies realized that they have lots of unfinished sweaters and scarves. They started wrapping objects on the streets and making New York look prettier.
SmART review
If you have been missing a pencil, it means that Jennifer Maestre might have stolen it to create one of her outstanding pencil sculptures.
These sculputures look amazing – unusual twists, forms, shapes – all made of hundreds of different pencils.
Dressing the naked City
Another Israel graffiti artist Rami Meiri, we are glad to present his works here. What he has or, more correct to say, his works – they make people turn their heads and look at them. Quite sweet! Continue reading →
