Numskull

Numskull, from Sydney, Australia, does indoor and outdoor work (his most recent solo show just finished up). The subject of his pieces typically center around mixed and matched text art, as well as cartooning which often pieces fragments of other iconic characters. In an interview done last year with This Life Numskull explained how his childhood background in graffiti and his history working in advertising ultimately led him to sign painting.

The AWOL Crew

Deams, Slicer, and Adnate in Fitzroy, Austrailia

Awol Crew, from Melbourne, produce some beautiful collaborations. These two walls display how the members of the AWOL Crew have very different personal styles, yet can pull them all together. Slicer describes it all as “a collaboration of all our unique diverse styles. Adnate’s realism style portraits, Itch’s surrealist style characters, Deams’ bold graphic letter forms and Slicers chaotic tags and line work. a pure AWOL wall”.

Your daily Amuser

Amuse, reigning from Chicago, raised the bar for writers and dimmed the line separating graffiti and street art. Three prominent qualities that keeps Amuse’s work attractive are the details work, the movement, and the sporadic use of color. The following are some of Amuse’s illest work yet.

L’Atlas solo show preview

Last week Graffuturism posted a preview of L’Atlas‘s upcoming solo show at the David Bloch Gallery in France. The show’s name, Morphologie, is perhaps a hint that L’Atlas has strayed from his signature style to try something a bit different.

"Here, for the first time, the letters stand out and hug each other and then a third dimension appears" - press release

L’Atlas typically works with black and white in his abstract, geometric typography, which is commonly his own name. At first glance, it looks like he has abandoned these trademarks in his new work. However, his new use of color has worked to encrypt his signature in more complex patterns.

Personally, I think his style works best at its simplest, black and white. I’m a very big fan of L’Atlas, particularly his lettering, so I’m interested in others think of this new direction.
