This is an awesome video of artist iNO in action, truly a talented son-of-a with a paint can or two. Beautifully shot by sectiongraphix.


The walls have ears... eyes, noses and mouths

The Living Wall



Nikita Nomerz is a Russian street artist who travels around local cities in search of derelict buildings to deface with, erm... faces.

His work isn't restricted just to this but it really is quite unique, at least to me it is. He paints on anything from water towers to dilapidated buildings and beyond.

Check out more of his work.

Graffiti by Above

Graffiti guru Above has been one of my top five favorite graffiti artists for the last decade not just because we share a common love of using chunky-ass arrows but the shear vibrancy of his work that has kept me looking out for him. Apart from his signature arrows stencil, the art is full of color and manically controlled backgrounds which almost pay homage to the 80's, plus he paints lots of hot chicks.

He, just like King Robo and Banksy prefers to keep his identity a mystery but he has a
website, a book and even a wikipedia page.


Blank Canvas

Low Bros Art

i'm a huge fan of Street art and Graffiti, It's sheer rebellious undertone attracted me as a kid. The large and often unusual canvas, the strong colours, experimental typography and of course the complete illegality of it all invigorated my need to draw on things that I wasn't supposed to... personally I blame my parents for going nuts if i ever got close to a wall whilst brandishing a fist full of Crayola's.

Over the years I have drawn on, painted, splattered, scratched and melted pretty much everything from 12" vinyl to a Sky dish to a car bonnet!

It's great to see a project like the WCP (White Canvas Project) happen from the guys at Supremebeing, a band of brothers style gathering to produce art on abnormal surfaces.

I have also just come across the artwork of two brothers form Germany, QGRK and Nerd who paint together and recreate characters they made up during their childhood... they seem to love a good fox!

Dun, Dun, Daaaaah... Bulgarian Banksy

Bulgarian Banksy

OK, this may be two month old news but it's the first time I have seen this, how I don't know, guess I should buy a newspaper once in a while.

So an artist/painter & decorator in Sofia, Bulgaria has vandalized a monument depicting Russia's Red army "liberation" of Bulgaria from the Nazi's during world war 2, causing a lot of of debate and controversy only to end up being dubbed "The Bulgarian Banksy"... doh!

My history isn't the best but I'm pretty sure the Bulgarians were allies to the Germans during WWII and that no German soldiers were stationed in Bulgaria... so how the country was liberated, I honestly don't know? I do know that the Russian's "moved in" for a few decades of what some would call oppression.

Some people will be for it and others against it, I for one don't see a problem with the art since the scene being depicted never really took place, in fact I find the irony of the original statue to be quite creative in a propagandistic type of way. I do however feel bad for the soldier that's been painted to look like Wonder Woman, just not cool.

Anon quote: "Monuments to Russia's dominance over Bulgaria are fair game to graffiti artists these days."
