Street Art | Photography & Design & Inspiration

This is a great collection of street art. Sometimes these gigantic art forms are just what the general population needs to see. Something to spark inspiration, or some kind of emotion without even expecting it. Great post! Thanks. http://nextwd.com/street-art-3/

Pop Art

http://www.vector.net/2010/pop-art/ Pop Art was born in the roaring fifties and quickly became one of the most prominent art movements of the 20 th century. A consumer and media boom took place, and visual artists started to interpret ideas, themes and motifs specific to consumer products, mass media, social concerns, advertising and comics. To quote Andy Warhol, “Pop Art is all about liking things”. Today, Californian artist Mel Marcelo is following in the Pope of Pop’s footsteps, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary. Marcelo’s wonderful digital artworks are full of familiar faces and objects, setting him firmly in place as the 2000s heir of the Pop Art movement.

The film features renowned artists Shepard Fairey, Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Martha Cooper, Invader to name a few. Director Alex Stapleton (Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel) documents the artist's creative process, their pitfalls with the law, the poetic impermanence of their craft and the artists' evolution from the back seat of a cop car to the walls of a well-respected institution.

The man, the myth, the legend. Banksy is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour. Such art shows the political and social issues on the streets, walls and bridges, cities around the world. Many people think that his works look just fine and make a brighter place called "Earth". [23 Shots] Find more about Bansky @ http://omgshots.com/1181-banksy-the-man-the-myth-the-legend.html

Incredible Urban Art (53 pics) - Izismile.com

http://izismile.com/2009/11/17/incredible_urban_art_53_pics.html It's great to see when someone who does what others would call "graffiti" and makes it into works of art... I think there are many, many more people out there that could be admired for this kind of thing, if they did it legally and left out the "filth" and such that is found in too much of the usual street-graffiti...
Imagine having a 30 year old village built to house 500 people that has been abandoned since the day it was built and being able to do what you want with it, thats the situation these lucky Graffiti Artists recently found themselves in. The Ghostvillage Project was created over 3 days on the west coast of Scotland by 6 artists known collectively as Agents of Change – Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, Derm. Working together on huge collaborative walls and individually in hidden nooks and crannies all over the site the artists realised long held dreams and were inspired by the bleakness and remoteness of the site. Drawing on the history of the village the artists’ stated intent on completion of the project was to populate the ghostvillage with the art and characters that it deserved. http://gbcmag.com/2010/01/04/the-ghost-village-project-graffiti-videos-street-art/
