In 10 hours, artist Vermibus removed 30 advertisements from the streets of Berlin. The anti-consumerism project is as straight forward as its name: NO-AD. Yesterday we posted about Rosh’s ad disruption in Madrid. Personally, I think that these are a part of one of the more important movements in street art.
Caroline Caldwell contributed to this post Orange you glad I didn’t say banana? Okay, so now you’re probably thinking “What the hell is RJ on about? That line came out of nowhere. I think it’s the punchline to some knock knock joke, but it makes absolutely no sense at the start of a post. I …

I’d like to say that it’s graffiti that the everyday person would walk by without fainting in disgust (or whatever happens when people see standard tags and pieces these days), but I …

Conrad Benner of Streets Dept. noted that yarn bombing is probably one of the most verbally attacked forms of street art and in my experience, he’s right.

Apart from the artwork itself, another of my favourite things to collect is books about street art and graffiti.
