Franco Monari - Porn vending machines

Italian photographer Franco Monari has been capturing a peculiar addition to the local landscape over the past two years: Sex / Porn vending machines. These hardcorde DVD machines have been erecting all over the place and Franco Monari caught over 300 of this machines on photo.  The machines do not only sell DVD’s, but also vibrators and other sex gadgets.

Franco: “These machines have been developed recently. There are areas in Italy where there aren’t any at all, but there are also areas where they…Read More »

Photographing graffiti is not an easy task. That a picture contains amazing artworks is not enough to make it a great photo as well, which is proven by many artists who take shit photos of their great pieces on a daily basis (with an exception here or there). Luckily Leo, better known as Startape on Flickr, is someone who knows how it is done. His graffiti photography ranges from the cleanest, sharpest pictures to a more artistic take with selected colors and HDR techniques. The…Read More »

Walking through the streets of Paris, coming across the works of street artist / illustrator Monsieur Qui is a true delight. It must’ve been early 2008 when that happend to me and it was enough reason to do an interview with Monsieur Qui, which was one of the first interviews we’ve ever done.  Back then most of his street work consisted out of hand-drawn paste-ups of pretty and fashinable ladies, motorcycles or the wonderful combination of those two. Over the years…Read More »

Wedding / Fine Arts photographer Edward Olive has come a long way since the last times we had the honours of featuring the good man on CFYE and Gup Magazine. It seems that his photography finally starts to get the recognition it deserves. A thought that is strengthened by the amount of awards added to his biography since the last time we spoke. I know awards aren’t everything but it does show a level of…Read More »

Any street artist having a bunny with a hand grenade as logo is cool in our book, so no wonder we had to feature Dzia sooner or later! Dzia is an immensely diverse artist from the city of Antwerp, Belgium. He’s continuously busy on and off the streets creating paintings, illustrations and paste-ups to installations, sculptures and even taxidermy! It’s almost needless to say that what I like about DZIA is this immense diversity. One of my favourite projects of him…Read More »

We thought we didnt’have money for exclusive watches, but Vannen artist Watches proved us dead wrong. Vannen watches are made by different artists and designers from all over the globe. They create the design, the package and some cool things around it and Vannen turns them into 150 exclusive watches for a reasonable price.  How cool is that? Some of our favorite artists have designed a Vannen Watch, like Huck Gee and Buffmonster and Tado! And it’s…Read More »

Ah, Finland! Summers with no darkness and winters with no light, combined with enough cold to turn mad anyone from the European mainlands. Over the generations the Finnish learned to deal with the cold and lack of light /darkness in an effective manner: They’re all bloody mad! Some of them found the perfect outlet for their madness though (besides drinking), like Pallo! Pallo is CFYE’s favorite Finnish street artist (see our feature from earlier on here). He’s also the only…Read More »

Many people contribute to our Shuttercrack flickr pool daily. One of them who never fails to deliver is Parisian photographer Pierre Wayser. His submissions vary from recent digital shots, to analogue photography from the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s. The fact that Pierre uploads so many photographs of these era’s already make his Flickr photostream a treasure. That his pictures never go with a description and instantly bring a sense of nostalgia of a Paris I’ve never known, only make…Read More »

I’m a huge fan of Berlin based graffiti / streetartist MTO. Besides his amazing skills, he always knows how to come up with interesting series of pieces. A little while ago we showed you his wicked ‘Berlin Street Fighters‘ series, a series of pieces depicting the different street art and graffiti legends from Berlin, in the streets of Berlin.This time MTO was invited to Saratoso, Florida to the ‘Sarasota Chalk Festival 2011‘….Read More »
