Ladies and gentlemen. I would like to inform you that Flickr of the Week has made a comeback!

Yes, that’s right! While it never officially left, I think I’ve been a little *cough* lax in posting them. Anyways, it has returned, and should be here for a while!

To mark it’s return, I have also added a thread in the forums where suggestions can be submitted (link is here), or you can submit in the normal way, via the contact form.

Anyways, this week’s Flickr of the week is .FAKE.!

Heres some pics from it:

Keep submitting!

I recently heard of an Street Artist known as Slinkachu. After doing a little research, I found his page, and all this graffiti on snails! I think it’s pretty cool :p

His website about it’s here: http://innercitysnail.blogspot.com/ and his main website is here: http://www.slinkachu.com/.

P.S. Sorry about the new article writer not appearing, I’m not sure where he’s got to. I’ve messaged him, so hopefully he should turn up soon I didn’t want to post in case he turned up, but I’ve posted this because I don’t want the news to just run dry! I’ll keep on posting until he turns up.

A film released by Cutup Collective of the reordering of an O2 billboard shows their brilliant and inspiring work. The billboard used was in East London and it’s great to see another act against the horrible billboard advertising dotted around London.

We’ve all heard of huge sticker combos but street artist BayTruthSeeker has put together a huge paste-up combo in a Californian tunnel. The Tunnel Project started out on flickr where he asked people to send him their posters to paste up in the tunnel. Artists which were included in the event were Omino, Sano, Jeepers, Bear bear art attack, Biafra, Funky Red Dog, New Colony, Bustart, 3ms, nano, Bonus Saves, Proper tea and erase. Some of you forum regulars might notice some of those names there.

Picture of the finished tunnel are below and it’s great to see posters up in one location from all around the world.

Here’s a fantastic street art installation project. Raising some awareness about lack of green spaces in Urban environments.

Here’s what the guys behind the Moving Forest project said about their idea:

The Moving Forest are 100 trees strapped into 100 shopping-carts lurking around in an urban environment blocking peoples way and forcing passers to act on them. According to NL’s Gen Yamamoto the idea comes from a story he heard as a child about a forest where the trees move at night so that people would loose there way and could never get out. This story has been haunting him ever since.
In his mind he could imagine people adopting a tree .e.g. homeless could start to take one on their journey through the city. The trees would pop up unexpectedly in small side streets or dark corners or be pushed over a big public square. They would group in smaller groups or be sparkled over the town.
Out of liability reasons for the Urban Play event 2 they are fenced in by concrete stones in a neat rectangle. Nevertheless, since they will be placed almost blocking the entire pedestrian area on Piet Heinkade in Amsterdam for a length of about 30 meters, they will surely create a surprising effect.
After the period of 6 weeks when the festival is over, the trees will be sold on to citizens and find a new home.
