THUGLIFE Graffiti Video Awards 2009!! I selected 50 nominees from my favorite collections. Do not imitate them, kids!!

JR is a french artist / photographer.
I like his artworks very much. Sooo exciting.
I really wanna see his real works but we can't find those still in Japan yet. We're totally looking forward to being attacked from you man!

He was interviewed by CBS and said like this.
"The photos have a lot of messages. But the main one is: 'Look at me, I exist, I'm larger than life.'"
We can tell that there are many problems to the younger generation in France now.

JR was in Manhattan, NY, recently.

BLU is an amazing graffiti artist from Argentina. He's also shooting, editing, and so on. Very very talented. I really love this movie. Amazing.
By the way, this movie reminds me a little bit about Barnstormers' style. Check it out below! ;)

Lately, some illustrations on flyers caught my attention many times. Those must be created by same artist, but I didn't know who was it at all.
At last, I found the artist on the net, and I was very surprised. My image of the artist was like B-boy or some naughty guy.
But the artist was a young woman!
Whatever, I really like her artworks. I'm dreaming of a chance we can do some job together. Big up!

This beautiful art works (made by HTML code!!) were created by Chris Ashley who is an artist, writer, and educator living in Oakland, California. The beautiful colors remind me of Mark Rothko.
Look, See; HTML Drawings Series Archives

This Web site is designed to provide information on the resources and services of the International Dada Archive at the University of Iowa Libraries. It is the gateway to the International Online Bibliography of Dada. As the site is developed, it will also become a resource for additional information about the historic Dada movement and the individual Dada writers and artists, as well as links to other Internet resources.
At a campus festival when I was an art student, we opened a Tacos bar called "Cavalet Voltaire". I named it and of course the name came from the cavalet which was opened by Hugo. I was really into the ideas of Dada, at that time.
I've just found this website. This is a very valuable archive. Enjoy!

You know this reality "viral movie" campaign by ecko unltd (of course, this was fake). This win a Grand-Prix title in Cannes international advertising awards 2006.
I collected some vandal videos those could influence echo to make these campaigns. Nothing but hard-core. Check those out now!

This is a very beautiful vegetable! It's not a computer-generated graphic. And guess what, this's not a broccoli, but the cabbage family. Whatever.
Anyway there are a lot of mathematically perfect shapes in the nature. Conversely, science is just trying to reappear the nature, I think. And even, there is the same philosophy in art and architect world too. When I went to Barcelona and saw those Antni Gaudi's buildings, they reminded me of a big, magnificent forest.
...But, well, I dunno about the taste of this vegetable tho. lol

"Computer-generated outline? Nope. It's real. Dubbed "Modern Japanese Classic," this 1:1 Subaru Impreza wire frame sculpture is the work of British artist Benedict Radcliffe."
Oh my way..., this idea is fxxkin' interesting. I love it!!

The first featured 80's hero is... the illustrator Derek Riggs from UK! Eddie the monster looks so scary, but same time he looks a bit comically too. Great job!!

Someday, I wanna be a great thief for my mom.

I found a very talented Canadian artist. Everything's oil paintings. Very beautiful colors, huh? I want one for my bedroom.
