TurmKunst Checkup

A while ago I tipped you guys off about an international art project by artists Flying Förtress, Honet, Sozyone and Craig “Krink” Costello. The idea was to give one of the towers in Berlin a sweet new colour. By now the project is in full effect, and Just (from the previous post) was there to photograph it once more. Check out his photos (or just the Turmkunst ones) and awe! Turmkunst :)

Above is KR’s work, two more photos after the jump! (more…)

How Banksy’s Movie Came To Be

Five minutes really worth watching if you’re even vaguely interested in street art. This trailer for Exit Through The Gift Shop has some epic moments and a rrrrreally clever paper dog that stands up on ventilation shafts. Thierry Guetta, you’ll see him in the movie, seems like an interesting character to me, he even has his own Wiki page,but not so much ofcourse as the conceiving artist, Banksy :P Oh, and the video, Prefuse tipped me off about it

Turm Kunst

“Turmkunst” they call it, the german words for “tower” and “art”. Honet (France), Flying Förtress (Germany), Craig “KR” Costello (US&A) and Sozyone (Spain) will be painting the outsides of this former restaurant. I’m not sure if I think the building is butt-ugly or retrofuturistic cool (some pictures of it from a worms eye view are quite cool), but I am quite certain that it could use a little touch-up. After the damage has been done, 14 international artists will exhibit their work there.

Work starts on April 4th, exhibition May 15th. If I have money I might just make the trip. God living in Europe is awesome!

The video at the top of this post just about says it all, but if you could always check out their site or Vimeo profile for more info and video. I’ve included a clear pic of the Bierpinsel after the (more…)

Crystals And Lasers

This is Matt W. Moore painting one of the most funkalicious murals, who knew triangles could ever be so exciting :D This particular piece is across the street from Since Gallery in Paris, France. Matt casually mentions it on his blog, from what I understand this was on the wall of an school on a public street. It’s part of a bigger whole, namely Matt’s very own solo exhibition at Since.

“has traveled to Paris for one month to prepare, from scratch, for his first Paris Solo-Exhibition. He arrived with no art, no supplies, and no firm plan for this new series of canvas paintings. The ideas for the artworks have actualized while processing time spent absorbing French Cult”

The adress, on a sidenote, is 211 rue Saint-Maur, going from Feb 5th till March 3rd 2010. Funky poster after the (more…)

Little Sol

She goes under the alias Solveig, this little girl from Brighton, UK, and already started a career in street art and other graphic design. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this 11 year old is one of the most seasoned among her weight class, as proven by her incriminating Flickr stream. Her style is called “anti” or “ill” by some, but I’d rather call it what it is; disturbingly cheerful. Aside from the fact that she draws mario characters that are twice her age, mad props for being featured in Graphotism #45 and getting a dude to let you tattoo his arm :)

What Up Gangstars

Je vous presenté, le video Jay Louis, “What Up Gangstars”. C’est trop fresh! Supacool! Worth checking out anyway! I’m not sure what it is besides a fresh video of casual graffiti shit and a french talking muppet, but according to what’s on Jay’s vimeo profile (and his very french website) there’s been an official launch party for the guy’s blog and what not. The debut you see above features Montreal’s own Zek, from the 156 crew.

Suso33

Check out what I stumbled upon today. This is spanish street rascal Suso33, painting the portrait of a man with two hands in a very particular style. I don’t know what to call it aside from “wow”, so judge for yourself and reckon if you could do this. Check out his website too, it’s full of cool shit that I wish I could have drawn.
