Two really enjoyable street art videos hit the blogosphere today. The first is from Pure Evil. He’s been in Brazil for a show, and it looks like he’s having a great time checking out the street art there. Some really cool work by extremely talented artists, most of whom I’ve never heard of.

I’m always happy to see my love of street art combining with my love of geekdom, so I had to share this pipe spout shooting out pixelated water. Photo from nickgraywfu Via Modern Design: Are You Modest

UPDATE – 11:48pm February 4th: The Huffington Post has an article which says the AP is accusing Shepard Fairey of stealing one of their photographs for his Obama posters. Shepard Fairey admits he used their image and is claiming fair use. Even though I may wish Shepard Fairey would properly credit sources, I’m also a …
