Love Gregs calligraphic take on graffiti, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff.
Great example of advertising space take overs. More please.
Extracted from the blog -
“Following on from the guerilla art traditions of the 20th Century and taking inspiration from the Dadaists, Situationists and Street Art movements, the Brandalism project will see the largest reclamation of outdoor advertising space in UK history as artists challenge the authority and legitimacy of the advertising industry. We are tired of being shouted at by adverts on every street corner so we decided to get together with some friends from around the world and start to take them back, one billboard at a time”
This has been going on for a bit now, but it’s still relevant and important to support.
Taken from the Handpainted Site -
“HandpaintedType is a project that is dedicated to preserving the typographic practice of street painters around India. These painters, with the advent of local DTP shops, are rapidly going out of business with many of them switching to the quicker, cheaper but uglier vinyls. Many painters have given up their practice altogether. The project involves documenting the typefaces of road side painters across India and digitizing it so that it serves as a resource for present and future generations.”
Check out the site for more info, images and support it if you are interested.
I saw the collaborative paintings of Daryoush Asgar and Elisabeth Gabriel some time ago, and stumbled upon their work again today. Their work is still standout in my opinion.
Some fresh new work from the graffiti inspired hot-shots 123KLAN.
