Welcome to Part 3 of the ‘20 Artists to Watch in 2009!’ series. If you missed it, check out Part 1 here and Part 2 here. 2008 was a great year for street art, but why look at the past when there is such great list of raw talent looking to blossom in the future. With the help of the forum members, we have comprised a list of 20 artists which you should all be watching in 2009! We’ve included information and pictures of 5 more artists below:

Part2ism - He’s a street art veteran but still produces high grade work. He’s latest project include the iconic ‘gasmask ladies’. Most recently he’s been doing paste up’s, Part2ism isn’t afraid of the spray can and is immensely talented at freehand work.

No Name - Filled with passion and drive, No Name is inspired to make a name for himself. His interesting art techniques and locations (e.g. the top of the Alps) have brought attention onto his artwork over 2008. No Name’s detailed stencils are brilliantly designed.

Seize - I’m not sure how Parisian street artist seize puts together his colourful pieces but they look incredible. They add colour to the darkest areas of an urban environment.

t.wat - British artist t.wat is always cooking up something, whether is a new poster for the streets or an awesome looking canvas. One of t.wats best attributes in his artwork is the placement - it always seems to be spot on. Check out the piece below. Placement is perfect.

Rallito X - Rallito and his crazy characters won himself Flickr of the Week earlier this year. His wheatpastes are extraordinary and most of characters seem to be sex obsessed but their still fine pieces of art.

Check out the final installment of our 20 Artists to Watch in 2009! series tomorrow!

t.wat is an intelligent British artist, I’d also tell you he’s very talented but thats why he’s being featured here. His work is comical: featuring Monkey’s with guns, gangsters out for the weekly shop or Zebra with snorkels. These bizarre works make you wonder whats going on in t.wats gap between his ears.

His latest work (the Zebra with snorkels) have been popping up all over London and have been generating a little interest in the local media. The zebra have been interpretated as a protest against Damien Hurst’s work which is currently being auctioned at Sotherby’s Auction House in London. I must say that the numbers of T.wat’s zebra wheatpastes have really impressed me.

The piece below was T.wat’s alteration of a Lucozade bill board advert a few months back. Again, genious work from the guy.

Everyone loves a bit of Wit now and again, when applied to street art with a combination of some British humor then you have a perfect mix, take t.wat’s latest stencil as a perfect example of this.
