Miss Bugs- Fresh Stuff “Cut Out And Fade Out”
The Street Art Artist Miss Bugs embellished the street of London with her new work. These life sized female figures are melting with the background of the streets. She is questioning the visibility of woman of the modern society.
Miss Bugs is famous for her pop imagery minted and inspired by Action Heros, Comic firgures and models. Her intension to use these Symbols of Society:” They are such strong iconic figures, each with a set of values good and bad, they send an immediate message making them powerful images to play with.” But she is not using matarials from familiar mainstream figures known by the publicity. What seems to have gotten street art fans in a froth is that Miss Bugs is not using old campy print advertisements or bits of classic paintings as reference; rather, it is that the work is using very recent and pretty well-known pieces of Street Art in the Street Art.
And here some old stuff dony by Miss Bugs
Urban Artist ROA creates A Giant Lanticular in London
As far as i could find out ROA is from Gent in Belgium. I was really impressed with his work with what i just found on Wooster Collective.
He generally paints giant animals, usually in black and white, and sometimes includes their skeleton or internal organs. See more on his Fotolog.. he did some amazing things in Warsaw recently.
A glimpse of Street Art in Lisbon
I am currently in Portugal and went for a nice walk in a part of Lisbon called Alfama. Being the oldest part of Lisbon it is also a very touristic one..still, if you keep your eyes open there are some nice details of urban art to be found. I like the aesthetics of the old buildings, the mix of cobbles and steep stairsets .
So here are some pictures i made during my walk. I am looking forward to look for more at Bairro Alto next Saturday.
Let me know what you think.
Nomad “Rainbow Coloured Tears of a Clown”
 |
 |
Nomad is opening his newest solo show, ‘Rainbow Coloured Tears of a Clown‘, at the CircleCulture Gallery. The gallery had a lot of nice things to say to us about the art, the artist, and this exhibition, but I think his flyer sums it up perfectly.
He is showing us that he his talented in a lot of various art styles. He became famous with his streetart. Especially as Mr. Friendly and his messages on rubbish bins. But in his exhibition he tells us about the history of art, in his personal way of expression.But of course street art elements are not missing.
The Opening reception was on october 30, 2009. The show is up through Jan. 9th.

Street Art in Melbourne – Fitzroy
The area Fitzroy in Melbourne is likewise famous for its alternative szene like the szene of Friedrichshain in Berlin. And often I was told that both citys are quite similar. So I was interested how streetart covers this szene. What I discovered, sometimes with luck and sometimes with the help of structured search for the untouched and secret places, is shown in my collages. I found for example stencils from Dolk, „Imperial Walker“, „I am your father“ and “R2D2″ and „Zebras“ from Plush. Very exiting!
COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis
This might be the most impressive Combination of Street Art and Interactive Media i´ve seen in a long time. Blu is no unknown for who has some interest in street art and David Ellis does some delightful pieces himself. In this cooperation they used an entire building with all aspects and details..brilliant!
thanks charley!Total Crisis Panic Button by Jason Eppink
Again through Wooster Collective (so far best street art blog i´ve got in my reader) comes this great Total Panic Crisis Button project by Jason Eppink. I love it!
Really cool and apparently inspired by Jason´s work comes an attempt from Ryan from New Haven, CT. Good work!
Street art – New work by Blu
All locals from Berlin probably know the giant murals painted close to Warschauer Straße in Berlin. Blu has marked several cities in the world and pleased our eyes with a fantastic animation film MUTO to be seen here.
He´s back with some new giant mural painted in a city in Italy during the FAME festival. Apparently the Land and the Population of Taranto suffered a lot of damage due to a giant factory located in the Place and his work doesn’t leave any doubts of what he meant.
More about the piece here.
RekaOne
I want to intodruce you to a very famous Artist from Melbourne. RekaOne. He is belonging to the street art scene. Of course he is not only a illustration genius by painting a wall. His illustration gave us a insight in a surrealistic and curious world of unique characters. Tomorrow I will visit a Club in Fitzroy, Melbourne, he created the wallpaintings. So I will see how his work looks in real.
Street Art in Sao Paulo, Brazil
I found a very inspiring video about street art and graffiti in Sao Paulo this morning. Thanks of a friend of mine who sent me a Cool Hunting Video on Youtube about “Pixacao”, a special way of Tagging in Brazil…
This 13 min Film shows how some Artists are raising awareness to social problems in Sao Paulo through their Art and reveals the “Art less Pollution” project by Alexandre Orion, where Imagery is obtained through cleaning polluted Areas. He “cleans” 3500 Skulls on the walls of a tunel during 17 consecutive nights… it´s in the video but check out the Site.
The Video is not embedabble but still worth watching, so just follow this Link!
But there is one about the tunnel cleaning..so here we go.
Luzinterruptus – urban light installation
Spanish Photographer Gustavo Sanabria caught some great shots of the Light installations from Luzinterruptus from Spain.
Some of the best urban works of this kind i have seen so far! Thanks for the tip about this one Piet.

Twitter…for real!
Somehow re-opening the subject…but in a different way. I hear twitter here, twitter there and there are only few useful and entertaining things that i liked.
One is the Baker tweet posted on todayandtomorrow and another one is twitter street art. Its interesting how online things transform into something real…i wonder how many people actually get the point while passing by the wall. I am sure that there a lots of useful aspects of twitter…even if it just by getting contributors for blog content like abduzeedo is doing it in his daily inspiration series…but i do prefer the side of showing how senseless it is. Artful ways of expressing that are currently the good side of the whole subject for me…for now. 
But if you really want to get deep into it, read this and related articles.
