German artist Edgar Mueller creates 3D street art that looks incredible if you’re standing in the right spot. Here’s a time lapse video of one of his work The Crevasse:

Kissing Shadows

I recently spotted this awesome shadow street art on the side of the Rite Aid on 24th Street at 8th Avenue in New York. It looks even cooler at night. Anyone know who did it?

New Blu Wall in Barcelona

I spent last week at The Influencers Festival in Barcelona and had the pleasure of meeting Blu. I got a chance to see him in action, painting a new wall in town as part of the festival. I snapped a blurry photo of it, above. It’s a giant shark made of $100 bills. The festival was videotaping him during the entire process, so expect an awesome time-lapse video to turn up soon.

If you haven’t seen Blu’s famous “Muto” animation from Buenos Aires, stop everything and watch it now: Muto.

Brazil’s 6emeia transforms storm drains, manholes, and other urban fixtures with paint.

The 6emeia project was created and developed by the artists Anderson Augusto, also known as SÃO, and Leonardo Delafuente, also known as Delafuente. The duo live in the Barra Funda neighborhood of São Paulo where they began the project with the purpose of changing and transforming daily life

What Goes Up Must Come Down

Street artist Above recently painted a little mural on the wall of a Washington Mutual (soon to be converted to a Chase Bank now that it’s been sold off.) Here’s another recent WaMu prank.

A Frightening Prospect

A group of street artists have been putting up this new Sarah Palin wheatpaste in cities around the U.S. Their site has instructions on how to download the artwork and put up your own, if you’re so inclined.

A Frightening Prospect

Roadsworth

Roadsworth began painting the streets of Montreal in the fall of 2001. Initially motivated by a desire for more bike paths in the city and a questioning of “car culture” in general, he continued to develop a language around street markings and other elements of the urban landscape using a primarily stencil based technique. In the fall of 2004, Roadsworth was arrested for his nocturnal activities and charged with 53 counts of mischief. Despite the threat of heavy fines and a criminal record he received a relatively lenient sentence which he attributes in part to the public support he received subsequent to his arrest. Since that time, Roadsworth has received various commissions for his work and continues to be active in both visual art and music.
