just keepin it real..



This is one of the most detailed piece of art I have even seen. It was posted by imminentdisaster in December 2012 and he one of the best street artist. Apparently it took 56 days for the artist to complete it. It is often regarded as one of the best pieces of street art to date.

my FAVOURITE!



I saw this a few years ago and I found that it is really trying to convey a deep and meaningful message. This form of 3D graffiti requires a lot of skill I would definitely visit the site soon.

Flushing art !

This particular blog is a visual based one. It is that of a collage of bathroom art, some deep, some meaningful, some rude and some absolutely positively hilarious! Take a look:

Hosier lane, Melbourne, Australia

The City of Melbourne has conducted research and community consultation which revealed that most people do not like graffiti ‘tagging’ (person writing their graffiti name or ‘tag’ on a wall with marker or paint). However, many people appreciate ‘street art’ such as larger more artistic pieces or murals placed in appropriate locations with the required permission.
In response, the City of Melbourne’s Graffiti Management Plan distinguishes between:
  • the need to remove unwanted graffiti applied without permission, and 
  • street art placed on walls and infrastructure with the blessing of property owners.
The City of Melbourne recognises the importance of street art in contributing to a vibrant urban culture. Melbourne’s street art has become internationally renowned and has become an attraction for local and overseas visitors experiencing Melbourne’s creative ambience.

My idea of Street art...


Personally when I think of Street art, I think of food! I was a born food lover, and I enjoying wandering food markets and stalls, and experiencing different cuisines. So to incorporate food and and graffiti- with my favorite food inspired art.





 








New York- The Home of Graffiti



The one place in the world I think of having the most inspiring street art is New York, The renowned street culture from the combinations of ethnicity's. These are the most visited graffiti sites in New York.

1. Bowery Graffiti Wall

Keith Haring first splashed this wall in 1982, and it’s been a destination ever since. In 2008, it went somewhat legit when late real-estate man Tony Goldman took over the location, invited Os GĂȘmeos, Shepard Fairey, Lady Aiko and more to rotate murals. Crash’s massive Popeye mural, which went up in March, succeeded the mixed-media collage of Tats Cru’s How and Nosm. While something of a serious artistic showcase, this wall is also steeped in street ethos. E Houston St at Bowery



2. Bronx Wall of Fame

This epic South Bronx block is only unofficially dubbed the Wall of Fame. That’s too bad since it could benefit from landmark status; plans are afoot to raze this community beacon in favor of affordable housing. The wall’s pedigree is indisputable: Late Queens legend Iz the Wiz, Long Island’s Phetus and L.A.’s MSK crew represent a tiny fraction of the artists who’ve painted remarkable wild styles, fills, murals and messages across its bricks. The clock is ticking for you to see history before those bricks come crashing down. E 173rd St at West Farms Rd, Bronx


3. 5 Pointz, Queens

Whether by happenstance or canniness, Flushing-raised Jonathan Cohen (Meres One) picked quite the choice intersection for his outdoor graffiti paean, residing in a revived LIC, between starving-artist epicenters Astoria and Greenpoint. The five-story, block-long building with 200,000 square feet of surface is a breathing homage to hip-hop’s five elements and the closest one can get to aerosol nirvana. There have been rumors of demolition, but a full program of summer events is already slated and any given afternoon is a good time to admire the kaleidoscopic tag panels, towering facade murals and epic memorials. Tats Cru, Stay High 149, Sway and scores from across the planet have sprayed here, and it’s even more astounding up close than from a 7 train bird’s-eye view. 45-46 Davis St at Jackson Ave, Long Island City, Queens (646-258-0328-219-2685)
