We sent a bunch of our stickers towards the UK. This is what we got back.
Hungary has talent, mad talent! After the very talented Mr. Zero we featured earlier on, our next spam victom from Eastern Europe is Fat Heat. Fat Heat is also in the CFS crew (same as Mr. Zero) and has a mind boggling cybernettic 3d style. We’ll let the pictures and the artist do the talking. Enjoy! Where are you from, and where are you going? I’m from a small town from Hungary. As time goes by I’m moving from smaller cities to bigger ones. I’m living…Read More »
DEAM is a good spirited graffiti artist hailing from Italy but nowadays a world citizen. Being a true graffiti geek (his own words) he picked up the aerosol ar himself and got good at it. Really good! At the moment of this interview DEAM usually writes ‘RENDER’, and he knows how to make these letters come to live like no other. Where are you from, and where are you going? I’m from a town called Marigliano, 25 km away from Napoli…don’t you know where it’s at?…Read More »
With some artists it just takes a single look at their work to know you’re dealing with something very special. This was exaclty the case when we came across Dan Kitchener’s work. Dan Kitchener is a (street) artist/illustrator/animator from the UK who is all over the place, from commercial 2d/3d animation on television to canvas and the streets. In between all those things he still knows (needs) to find the time to squeeze in a daily speed painting session, so there’s a new treat…Read More »
Laughing is good, and that is what Adam Mclevey made us do with pulling a Banksy on Banksy at the Banksy vs Bristol Museum expo. Pulling pranks on the prankster, just how we like it.Of course, there is more behind this artist then just pranks, and browsing through his amazing work on Flickr we decided to ask him ourselves. So we heard typo is still up there (at the Banksy vs Bristol museum exhibit). Does that make you excited? I was just…Read More »
Now what is all this? Our good friends from light painting collective Fiz-Iks started on a new collaboration project we couldn’t be more hyped about! They’ve searched the earth to find the freakiest animal heads they could find and beheaded them (just kidding, they’re just masks but they’re still freakishly scary) to tell a light painting photography story on a global scale! The first chapter will be made in the home-base of Fiz-Iks (Japan), from where they…Read More »
Brazil is trying to call us. I think we need to go over there soon to check out the massive amount of talent that steadily flows from the country. Recently we got in contact with Felipe Cretella. Felipe is an art-director/artist/photographer from São Paulo, looking for a way to get around and showcase his work to the world. Seeing that isn’t easy to do in Brasil, like many Brasilians, he is looking for a way to do this outside of the country.
Felipe’s works are…Read More »
And the love from Brasil just keeps flowing in these days! Talented photographer and good friend Gui Christ (with who we did a feature not too long ago: Gui C – The Intense Brasilian Experience) has gotten us in touch with one of the hottest graffiti crews from Rio de Janeiro: Mafia 44. He showed us one of their works based on one of his portraits and we were instantly sold by their amazing work. Thanks…Read More »
Sometimes you just know things are destined, like our friendship with Brazilian photographer and all-round great guy Gui Christ. He sent us some Baile Funk CD’s, we sent him some stickers. Not a month later Gui took this Iconic picture during Folia de Reis (the Wise men Revelry).
