The Friendly Neighborhood Graff Mobile

It might not be inconspicuous but it sure is cool! This street ready graffiti mobile is stocked with everything a graffiti artist could ever want (paint, tips, markers, extinguishers, a stereo, even masks, lights, climbing rope and extension chords).  i wouldn't mind seeing this bad boy in action. Spotted on 12ozProphet posted by world renown auther and graffiti writer Bates; which by the way is an awesome site for keeping up with the goings on in the urban art community. I definitely recommend checking it out. For more photos of the graffiti mobile click HERE. In the mean time go outside and enjoy the summer!

Kidult Strikes Back

Spotted on The Nite Visions

Kidult's boldness never ceases to amaze me.  A huge extinguisher piece on a major street in broad daylight holding an extinguisher filled with bright pink paint wearing a skeleton mask.  How he eludes the police is beyond me.  Mad props and we are definitely over Mr. Brainwash, he was cool for about a month but I really don't see any originality there.  I'm also a huge fan of DJ shadow and Mos Def, such a dope track.

Revert

Photos By ilkflottante.

As I was scrolling through my News Feed this morning I could not help but stop and stare at the unbelievable work of REVERT capture by ilkflottante.  As the ever-growing graffiti and "street art" scene becomes more mainstream I feel it is becoming harder and harder to do something completely unique.  Although I am no expert when it comes to graffiti, I can safely say the work REVERT is doing is nothing like I have ever seen before.  These two pieces are just stupid, the amount of detail pretty much blew me off of my chair and his style is so rad.  If anyone knows if he has a blog/website or flickr let me know because I would love to check it out!

Keith Haring

I recently watched the documentary The Universe of Keith Haring and although cycling was never brought up in the film, it was present throughout. The first image is of Keith working with a group of children through his foundation with a Look Cycles sweatshirt and the second is a shot of his studio with what looks like a Cinelli Laser Pursuit with duel discs (far left). Keith was a pretty rad dude, the way he could paint enormous murals with no sketch blows my mind.

The Extinguisher

 
 

These pictures have been burning a hole in my desktop for the past week and every time I look at them they are even more unbelievable.  This is the craziest extinguisher piece I've seen to date. Definitely diggin' the celeste and I love the gran turismo in the background of the second picture.  Check out more rad photos on Ilk Flottante.

Kidult also hit two other spots recently.  Killing it!

The Circle of Graffiti

Spotted on Fucknfilthy

Being that Banksy is one of my favorite artists, I am always on the look out for new pieces and articles.  I found this progression called "Stages of A Banksy Piece" which is pretty cool.  It starts out with a blank wall, moves to a sketch with a number of ideas, then the actual painting. In the last picture the piece is written over.  I feel as though this accurately shows the life cycle of most urban art.  Banksy never ceases to amaze me, even the destruction still looks cool.
