The Walls Project is a series of legal spots organized by the folks behind Global Street Art. To date, they’ve organized over fifty of spots in London for local and international artists to paint. A lot of the spots they find are the roll-down shutters for shops in East London. It’s great to know that there are a couple of friendly guys in London who are simply interested in helping artists find more spots to paint and making their daily commutes a bit more interesting. You can see more of the walls and a map here.

A side note: Global Street Art are currently working on releasing their first book through Unbound, a sort of Kickstarter for books.

Here are a few of my favorites shutter pieces from The Walls Project:

Sorry this is coming a day late, but Thanksgiving and related activities took priority. Here’s what I missed posting about this week:

• Roa and Resto collaborated on this wall in the Netherlands.
• Peter Bengtsen has written some thoughts on a controversial Boris Hoppek product.
• Invader has a solo show opening at Lazarides’ The Outsiders next week. It will include Invader-shaped waffles.
• Dabs and Myla have designed a toy.
• James Marshall aka Dalek recently had a show at Womb Gallery in Oklahoma City. Arrested Motion has photos and there’s a behind-the-scenes video as well.
• On December 9th, Mighty Tanaka in Brooklyn has a group show opening with Robots Will Kill and other artists that they crew have selected.

This is Belgium’s Bue the Warrior. Recently he’s been collaborating with Billy and Low Bros in Berlin on some fantastic walls and shutters, pictures of which I posted last week. I rather like his style, (maybe because it’s similar to a few other artists I like), so here a few of his other pieces from all around the world. Enjoy.

For more pictures of Bue’s work check out his flickr here.

Roa just finished this wall in Newcastle at Unit 44. Thanks to Danny at Breaks of 10 for the tip.

Also, Resto and Roa recently collaborated again.

The Kosmopolite Street Art Festival (Brussels edition) kicked off a few days ago, and it looks like they’re painting some massive walls. Can’t wait to see the finished work. The festival runs through May 15th.
