Catlanta is an Atlanta-based street artist with a cult-like following. Catlanta posts photos of his cat-shaped artworks online as soon as he leaves them outside for the taking. Almost instantly, a fan will track down the piece and snatch it for themselves. It’s all part of a game that Catlanta is playing with the residents …

I am loving Mathieu Tremblin‘s latest work, Graffiti Statue. It was made for Art4Context’s 1+1=1 1+1=2 residency.

Three of the finest up-and-coming street artists around just came through Philadelphia. Streets Dept. has some great shots of two spots by Gaia, so I’m going to focus on ND’A and LNY‘s work. There are detailed shots of LNY’s wheatpastes and some spraypainted works by LNY after the jump…
Well, the internet went a bit crazy this week, but it looks like we’re winning. Thank you to anyone who noticed that Vandalog was offline on Wednesday in protest of SOPA and PIPA and took the time to contact their representatives to voice objections to the bills. But enough about politics. This is an art …

If Chris Stain isn’t already in your street artist repertoire, this is someone you need to know. Baltimore bred and current New Yorker, Stain transitioned from graffiti writing in his early days to the stencil portraits and paste-ups that have made him known around the world today.
