I just stumbled across a wall writer with some sick styles called Songe One on Flickr. Although I know absolutely nothing about the guy, some of his styles are ridiculous! The idea of creating cardboard extensions for the wall in the first picture below is a really nice touch on an already ridiculously steezy wall. [...]
I must admit, I know the grand sum of not a lot about this guy, Bom.k1, but I just stumbled across his Flickr feed and was astounded. Dubs to make your eyes melt and canvases to make you wonder what on earth is inside his mind. There’s some seriously strange, dark and nightmarish themes in [...]
Glasgow based graff artist Smug is seriously talented with a can of paint! Since first picking up a spray can 11 years ago his work quickly grew into a perfectionist’s obsession with heavy line work, letters and characters which has developed into a more photo-realistic style which has been exhibited widely. Completely freehand, using aerosol [...]
George Morton Clark is a painter/street artist who grew up in South London, who comes at both the canvas or the wall with an almost Dali esque style of distorted faces that often cloud just a few incredibly detailed features in a variety of colourful smudges, drips and splashes creating an abstract feel with haunting [...]
Eleven is not only an incredible graffer, but also an unbelievable illustrator, has a great eye for photography and isn’t too shabby with words either! Called Eleven due to the domination that number’s had on his life (living in a no.11 house, him and his parents all being born on the 11th, etc), he’s a [...]
Myne is another head on Flickr keeping the streets nice and colourful. Presumably London based (there’s flicks on there from all over London including Kingston, Putney and plenty of locations in East), he reps a nice cartoony style, heavy in clouds and dominated by the colour blue. I’ve been lucky enough to spot a few [...]
Asboluv, an English street artist with a healthy ammount of gallery and festival appearances, is best known for his afro-girl image which he’s painted from Europe to the US. His flickr describes him as ‘coming from dark and dirty places… to gently lift the heart and deeply disturb the soul…‘ which well describes the effect [...]
Buenos Aires based Gualicho has been painting graff since 1998 and throughout that time has developed a colourful, tongue in cheek style of illustration that stems from graff but also takes influences from comic illustration, folk art, religious icon, psychedelia and much more. He seamlessly intertwines animals, plants, machines, retro-futurist cities and more human like [...]
Painting around the Chicago and Kalamazoo (Michigan) areas, Bonus Saves brightens life up a bit with both conventional graff and fuzzy little characters, both in sticker, stencil and hand painted form. His work on canvas is also pretty dope, I’m really liking the mixed media pieces with twigs and other odds & ends. Check a [...]
UK based Illustrator Andy Council also dabbles (as he puts it) in painting and street art, which to me is a gross understatement. His work’s tied together by dinosaurs, and other creatures, who are often built of objects such as paint cans. They’ve also all got names such as ‘Shantysaur’ and ‘Styraco Bristol’ which is [...]
