Chinese street artist DALeast states on his profile that he is “currently a human being”, which seems a bit of an understatement seeing how he creates all these ambitious spraypainted mural works wherever he goes. He’s been out and about in London in the last few weeks, doing some eye-popping 3D-like damage in places like Hanbury Street off Brick Lane and Rivington Street in Shoreditch.

I recently got to know about Beco do Batman (Batman’s Alley), a heavily graffiti-ed zone in Sao Paulo, from watching one of these Anthony Bourdain travelogue shows. The sheer vibrancy of the street art there is just astounding, as you can tell from these photos taken by travel blogger Ling Ge.

Buff Diss is an amazing street artist from Australia who creates insane masking tape graffiti. If you’re thinking the use of tape would be detrimental to the the designs he could create, you are very wrong. Diss’ designs are intricate, well thought-out and easily removeable. What more could you ask for? Although, I’m not too sure you would want to remove the works of art. They make a lot of the spaces look a lot better, in my opinion.

Check out this great guerrilla marketing campaign from The Tutor Crowd. They have been going around the streets of London to correct spelling mistakes in graffiti. This is a genius idea to get media coverage and brand exposure. If you are working in a marketing department, look and learn. The advertising campaign was created by the Arc London agency.

Look closely, this is not spray paint. Mexican artist, Laura Ortiz Vega, takes things made of stone and paint, things aggressive and chaotic, and transforms them into something delicate and beautiful using the traditional techniques of the Huichol people – ‘Painting‘ the surface of her panel with colourful threads glued with a natural bees wax called cera de Campeche.

Much of the graffiti she captures can be found around her native surroundings of Mexico City, where Vega sees her role as a documentary artist, preserving the street art of her native city. Vega pays homage to this traditional art form while subverting it at the same time, transforming it into something new and fascinating. Paint becomes thread, an old technique gets new life, and something momentary gets woven into permanence.

Meet Shark Toof. He’s the guy from LA who wheat pastes his trademark shark logo everywhere he can reach. The shark is his spirit animal. Why a shark, you ask? As the artist explains, it’s the ‘perfect culmination of all my angst, protest, strength and optimism’. His art stands out with it’s energetic, graphic style that relies on chiaroscuro and other stylistic elements reminiscent of German Expressionism and classic graphic novels. Go on, take a big bite out of the book he published last summer.

As a kid, growing up on the K-Line in Stockholm, Sweden, it’s always been a dream to go to New York to put up tags. Even though some consider Philly to be the birthplace of this subculture, New York has always been its epicenter. When me and my friend started TagsAndThrows.com about half a year ago, we had no idea how big this thing would get. Today, we’ve got a couple of thousand visitors on the site every week and more than 10,800 followers on Instagram.

So, what is graffiti bombing all about? That’s a darn good question. This strange habit of putting your name (tag) on walls, mailboxes, trash bins and trains around the city first popped up in the late ’70s. Kids wanted to get their name up all over the city to get fame. Using markers, mops, spray cans and fire extinguishers filled with paint to put your tag up, this is now a worldwide phenomenon. Illegal – yes. Hated by most people – yes. But also misunderstood. Not many people try to understand why people bomb. Not many people look at bombing close enough to even be able to separate one graffiti bomber’s work from another. Ignorant I would say. In the same way that people that don’t listen to techno might feel like all techno songs sound the same. Or people that won’t dive deep enough into the abyss of modern art to be able to appreciate it before they dismiss it. Bombing is not only about getting your name up, once, twice, or thousands of times – it’s also about doing it with style, for a long period of time. This is the handstyles and typography of the streets. So far TagsAndThrows.com has been given the chance to document different styles of bombing in Berlin, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Malmoe, Gothenburg and now New York – the home of the world’s best bombers. Here’s some of our favorite tags and throw-ups from the Big Apple.

Sometimes a sign just isn’t saying what it really SHOULD say, and that’s where these clever and anonymous graffiti artists come in. These improved public signs and billboards are hilarious and truthful at the same time.

The Makati Central Business District Walkway connection along Dela Rosa Street turns into a venue of self-expression among nameless street artists who started the project only a few weeks ago. Varying styles manifest in the works, all of which were painstakingly crafted by means of brushing, air-brushing, and stenciling on canvas ceilings.

Windows 95 was the best Windows version ever. So when we found out about how a Redditor and his friend “took care of a graffitied swastika” by covering it up with the Windows 95 logo, we completely understood. Bet the Windows logo design guys never saw this coming when they came up with it 17 years ago.

Australian-born graffiti artist Jimmy Cochran has painted walls from the Bronx to Berlin and is recognized equally in fine art galleries as graffiti street tours in London. Last month, Cochran unveiled his latest project, pushing the boundaries of his pointillist-inspired art style with 3D graffiti techniques.

Living in London, Cochran has been working on developing 3D graffiti for years now. He explains: ‘This is something that has been on my mind for a long time. I first started testing this style in my studio and recently took it to the streets, painting my first piece,’Girl With Spheres 3D’, on the wall of the Bird & Ballard coffee shop, at The Foundary in London’. A main challenge of the style, Cochran says, is making sure the work is equally effective in 3D and as a stand alone street piece. The Bird & Ballard coffee shop has been handing 3D glasses to interested passersby.

Graffiti and skate culture has become more polished and is trending away from its roots. Philadelphian photographer, Christian Suchecki, brings back a grittier and darker edge to this aesthetic in his series, The Tunnels. Suchecki explores the dimly lit and overly graffiti scripted subway tunnels of North Philadelphia.

The shots are comprised of digital, 35mm, and large format 4×5 film. More impressive is that the artist managed to not only get the large format camera into the underground system, but also maintain excellent quality shots. I’m not usually a sucker for photo, but Suchecki’s style cannot go unappreciated.

The Heidelberg Project was started in 1986 by Tyree Guyton. He decorated the houses in his neighborhood using paint and salvaged objects from the street, thereby turning a once-threatened area into a tourist sensation. With the Heidelberg Project, the Detroit-based artist has drawn attention to the plight of his home city’s forgotten neighborhoods. He calls his art 3D Graffiti, or Guerilla architecture. His vision was to transform the two block area in Detroit where his work is to be seen into a state of the art Cutural Village. I say, mission accomplished.

I met this amazing artist in person while I was in LA. His artwork reflects his life, thoughts and feelings, and his paintings can bring to light the savagery of the current system and those who support and perpetuate it. He considers himself an artist, not just an oil painter or graffiti artist.

Swiss winery, Fin Bec, flew eight top graffiti artists from around the world (New Zealand, Japan, USA, South Africa, UK, Switzerland) to their winery to create artwork on eight canvases made of 84 wine crates each. The finished artwork was then used as wine labels and the artwork was dismantled and filled with the wines. Video by Rebild Productions in Paris.

A completely blank white room at the Au Vieux Panier hotel in France is visually sliced in half by amazing street art. The vivid installation was created by graffiti artist, Tilt, and his crew. This is kind of how I picture the left side of the brain vs. the right side.

Life is Porno 4D is a graffiti stop-frame animation from streetartists Dian and Kacer from Life is Porno crew in Prague. They took Rumpel (their streetart character) into a new dimension. Probably the first stop-frame animation in the world that made 3D paintings move. The animation was made in Porno Villa in Prague and was fully spray-painted with more than 400 sprays used.
