graffiti!

i have always been a fan of graffiti. the nice ones of course. not the senseless scribble that tend to pollute most cities walls. it's street art! it's also cool that in creating that 'art', the artist had to find the right timing when and where to leave his mark. unless, it's like the art districts in Beijing, Berlin and Slovenia where the walls are now homes to free expression done in style! not to mention with the consent of the law. :)

the picture above is of the same 'graffiti'(im not sure what the technical term is for this type of graffiti, the pre-made ones that only require to be stuck on the wall. UPDATE: Sticker Art is the term! a subcategory of graffiti) the one on the left, i saw in berlin a week after easter 2010 and the one on the right, in ljubljana a month ago. i wonder who made these and if they do travel doing that. or if it's one group/crew that has the same set of graffitis. like a berlin chapter and a ljubljana chapter. i find it totally awesome that i saw these two! and i wonder if there are more of this same design in other cities! if you do see one on any wall near you, tell me!

or this one below which obviously is done by the same artist.


goes and wanders

  1. They're by SWOON. Ikaw talaga STATUS audience, haha. We did a feature on her in our last art issue. By the way, a more specific term for this is "wheatpasting"--same thing they do for campaign posters during election ;)
