This piece by Waone of Interesni Kazki is called Lost Sheep and it’s in a little backstreet of Kochi, India. I know Interesni Kazki have done some huge murals and people really seem to love those, but I prefer their smaller works like this one. Their smaller pieces become a part of the environment rather than looking like a giant canvas attached to a wall.
Here’s a video to give a sense of the area where the piece was painted:
The Metlac bridge in Veracruz, Mexico is over 400 feet from the ground and is about 300 feet long, making it one of the tallest bridges in North America. Clinging to the edge of this bridge, a few young writers risk their lives to proliferate their names. Doubters commenting on ILoveGraffiti (German site)’s coverage were provided with this video.
0331C and a few friends came together to bring the people of Moscow the gift of this incredible graffiti Christmas tree. That looks like it was a lot of fun except for the -13 ºF weather they were painting in. More photos at Ekosystem.
This weekend I’ve been without solid internet access, and Caroline and I have both been knee-deep in exams and final essays for the last week, so here’s a belated link-o-rama…
The New York Times has a story on Living Walls, centering on the removal of Hyuro’s mural a few months ago and now the removal of Roti’s mural. I hope that this does not dissuade artists or the amazing people behind Living Walls from doing more of the amazing work that they have become known for over the last three and a half years.
German graffiti writer Just has been both a painter and photographer of street art and graffiti for over a decade. In this video, Just gives a little tutorial on how to use a fire extinguisher to uh… paint.
Rone has been busy since returning from San Francisco. He’s been painting lots of walls in Australia in various different new styles and has been involved in a number of collaborations. Loving all the new pieces around Melbourne. He is currently in Miami painting some amazing walls. Here’s a few of my favourite pieces. Also check out the great video by Callum Preston.
Roa left Melbourne a couple of days ago. What an amazing month or so it has been. After arriving in Melbourne from Puerto Rico, one of the first things he did was visit Healesville Sanctuary. Healesville Sanctuary is a not-for-profit conservation organisation dedicated to fighting wildlife extinction through breeding and recovery programs for threatened species and by working with visitors and supporters to reduce threats facing endangered wildlife. The Sanctuary is a very important part of Roa’s whole visit to Melbourne, a major part of his show at Backwoods Gallery, Carrion, which I will go into more detail about in my next post.
Wombat (Vombatus Ursinus)
The first day was all about Roa meeting the animals. He got the royal treatment from the Sanctuary and all the keepers, getting to go behind the scenes and really meet the animals, touch, feel and hold most of them.
The next few days were a combination of painting some of the animals he met, and preparing for the show. He painted three pieces while at the Sanctuary, the most exciting would have to have been the Platypus (Ornithorhynchus Anatinus) on the water tower (featured in the video). I was lucky enough to be there with Roa and experience the breathtaking views, hip hop, pizza and beer. A perfect afternoon 🙂 Continue reading “Roa at Healesville Sanctuary”
The precision that goes into making these 3D prints fit outdoor surfaces is incredible! This video gives us a glimpse at that process. Curious to see if 3D printed sculpture picks up and is taken farther.
