Happy fun time street art & graffiti from Hamburg

LET is that handsome fucker there, in case you be wonderin’

All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke


Me too! OMG I adore Irgh!


there was a running Pirate theme in a lot of the street art we found in Hamburg.

hey fellas, watcha lookin at?


look at all the fucks i give! (in the corner that my thumb is pointing at)

I photographed some of Alias’ stuff on Rue Denoyez in Paris

nosferatu!

I’also previously photographed that middle child with the spray can in Paris on Rue Denoyez


Boondock Saints with nom nom ice cream!


This looks EXACTLY like the wheatpaste I photographed in Chiang Mai, Thailand. See for yourself.


Street Art macht mich glücklich!

ZOMG I PHOTOGRAPHED FITSCHEN ON SPRING STREET IN MANHATTAN TWO YEARS AGO!

Ah Germany…. you are the star of the urban art dream.
Fanks Hamburg!


Occupy Shoreditch!

OCCUPY STREET WALLS!


Shok-1′s Heart

A confession: I’m not exactly a fan of Shok-1. Yes his stuff is all over London, yes it’s clever and bright and well-executed and it brightens up any dreary wall …. but it just doesn’t really move me. I’ve found most of Shok-1′s stuff, even the new stuff before the major blogs were onto it, and refrained from blogging about it because I just can’t get excited about it.

But this …. I will give him this.

Only because the addition of the man cutting his nails improves the mural by tenfold …


You can stand under my umbrella


I found this early one morning, walking on Bethnal Green Road, London.

I’m sorry, but this is fucking adorable.

Nice work, anonymous street artist. Uda man.


L.E.T. : Les Enfants Terribles

These LET pieces were all found around Dusseldorf… I’ve blogged LET’s work before, a mural of a child I found in Cologne (I will never say what you want to hear). LET is bringing the house down.


I am so afraid of losing you

Found in Basel, Switzerland :)


London quickie

Just in London for the day, and look who’s giving out the goods! Shoreditch huzzah!
“All I have to give you is a love that never dies, the symptom of the universe is written in your eyes.”

And the wall answers back


But only to barf bricks at you.


You really are as thick as you are ugly


WOA’DERE!

BURN!


Man up’t and vanished like a fart in the wind


Ah, Graffiti Shawshank Redemption… eases the pain….


And it was all Yellow


I saw this on Bethnal Green Road near Brick Lane, but really, this should be in a modern art museum, it is so vibrant and stylized and emotive, I just love it.


The tag on it says -ALO- so I’m guessing that’s the street artist behind it …. nicely done, whoever you are!


For my birfday…


… this happened!

ALL HAIL ANNY CHIH!!

Love this SO MUCH!

If anyone in Brooklyn stumbles upon this bit of graff, be sure to let me know!


Don’t remove me, I’m a Banksy

I’m not a real Banksy but I play one on TV.


Art Thieves Operating In This Area


Have you seen street art disappearing from your neighbourhood? Those are art thieves! You may see them with official looking uniforms and identification badges, but they are the real vandals.

Reminds me of this from Toronto.


Green with money


The business man who lives for green money and wears a money tie will certainly turn green at some point… and forget which way is up.

Around the corner from Brick Lane …

Getting the vandalism I deserve


Stik is a scream

Behind Brick Lane, Stik is screaming on all ye who enter here….. either that, or they’re vomiting.


and look! a whole bunch of little stiks!

Check out my Stik category for more of his work that I’ve photographed :)


Stik on Rivington Street


Sorry for the grainy Blackberry shots. I love it when I take photos of street art and randoms stop me to ask who the artist is…. or when randoms tell me they never noticed the art until they saw me photographing it.

People, ya gotta pay more attention to your surroundings! Always look up! There’s some wonderful ephemeral moments awaiting you beyond your line of sight.

Broken Fingaz


From what I’ve been able to gather from street art cirlces, Broken Fingaz crew are from Israel, and two members Unga and Tant spent a good deal of time in the Shoreditch area putting up their highly stylized works. The above looks like skeleton Mason. The below has a Hindu-third-eye feel to it ….or is the third eye thing a Buddhist thing? Being an atheist, I really give a toss, but the works are really eye-opening and catchy. Definitely made me stop in my tracks as I walked along!


El Mac: Madre Mia!

El Mac’s hombre mural on Hewett Street in Shoreditch, right next to the Vhils.

Donde esta el Huevos Rancheros.

Que linda.

No habla espagnol (obviously).

 


Stik it to London

Stik‘s work at night. I love street art at night … it tends to glow.
