Chewing Gum Street Art

Ben Wilson has a rather curious hobby - he spends everyday on the streets of North London - painting on the blobs of chewing gum that deface London's pavements. Apparently painting on the pavement is illegal so he paints on chewing gum that is stuck to it. And not just painting them, but the attention to detail to create miniature works of art.




Check out a set of his gum art.

Little Art, Great Message.

Street art doesn't have to be massive billboard propaganda. Kate Sokoler does the exact opposite with the mini street art.

Scratching the Surface

Street artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils has a unique way of expressing his art. His ability to scratch the surface on walls to expose portraits is genuine. From chisels to a jackhammer to even small explosives. His sculptures leave a lasting impression on exposed brick.

Here's a couple videos of him using different techniques.

Illegal Rainbows

Rainbows have reflected on this blog previously, however didn't reoccur as often as this street artist has been improving dull building facades.

In an ongoing series titled Illegal Rainbows, an unknown artist dubbed the Rainbow Warrior is using spilled paint to pour rainbows off the tops of buildings in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In an interview with the street artist, the rainbows are a way to cope with depression. However, city officials don't see anything socially good about defacing buildings. You be the judge.



Here's to your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Cold as Ice Skeleton

All you need is a little inspiration, and for this street artist, a drain grate that resembled a ribcage.

Street Art - Inflatable Sculptures

I'm a fan of any form of art, but the ones that I take a particular liking too is the art in its simplistic form. The gift of art can be appealing to anyone. In this video, we see the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris. Have you ever considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust? Using only tape and garbage bags, Harris creates giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate in the city of New York.

Now don't get this confused with the most beautiful thing ever filmed.
