Disaster Strikes

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Little is known of Disaster Strikes except their work is extremely detailed and fantastic to see - even if it is through a computer screen I can only imagine what it must look like in person.

Disaster Strikes has some new halloween inspired pieces fresh up today:

Working with a variety of mediums, Disaster’s forte seems to lie with wheatpastes.

IYTI - Belfast

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

As far as free art goes the It’s Yours, Take It events are one of the highlights. There is a lot of controversy in the street art community about street art in galleries but free art is a way that I think both artists and ‘art fags’ can both be happy. The beauty of street art is that it is free for everyone and anyone to look at but this is taken away when street artists move into expensive gallery spaces.

The It’s Yours, Take It events have taken place around the globe including the US, Isreal, Canada, Germany and many more countries with many already planned for 2009. The most recent event was in Northern Ireland - Belfast.

We previewed the Belfast event way back in August and I’m pleased to see it was a huge success. Organised by Dogtired, all the submitted art was gone in minutes.

Below are a few pictures of the event and some very happy people:

Titi from Paris

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Titi is another Parisian artist which deserves a special mention. His work is predominately stencil on wheatpaste and is always very clean.

If you take a look at the piece below it has a certain quirkiness to it. But the black and white design looks like it has been taken straight out of Titi’s sketchbook.

The next and final piece I want to show you is a very cheeky panda. Again, very clean and the bright yellow outline adds a little something extra.

The pictures I’ve shown you all demonstrate Titi’s fantastic character design and strength. I look forward to seeing more from Titi in the near future.

C215 has been getting around recently. We featured his work in New Dheli recently and since then he’s been in Brazil causing a stir. Here’s a brilliant short little film about C215 and their work in Brazil.
