The brainstorming session:

Very Cool- Plastic Bag Street Animals

“Just when you thought that street art was starting to get a bit stale, along comes something that reconnects you with the reasons you fell in love with street art in the first place.

Prolific bloggers Wooster Collective have posted about an artist in NYC who has been making animals out of discarded plastic bags. They tie them to the ventilation grates above the subway lines so that when the subway trains rush through underneath, the animal jumps up and springs to life. Awesome.”

CUPROCKING

I love this guy’s attitude and creativity.  He is definately keeping it FRESH.   

 

“Cuprocking is the brain child of Sydney based artist Andy Uprock. By mapping out large areas of cyclone fencing and sticking plastic cups into the existing diamond shaped holes, Andy transforms streets and public areas into floating walk-by galleries. Andy typically uses around 2,500 individual cups for each piece and recycles them between each project. “

“Andy also creates braille poetry out of the cups and people are calling it the very first form of graffiti for the blind. Andy describes the process as being like “solving Japanese algebra blindfolded”.

He’s created a couple of braille pieces on the streets of Melbourne and Sydney already and an exhibition, in conjunction with Vision Australia, is being planned for when the guys return from their international cuprocking jaunt.

IS THERE NOTHING HE CAN’T DO?

Andy is the kind of person who makes you realise that you definitely could have been doing more with your life and of his many surprising talents, dancing is probably the most crucial to his core. Growing up as a b-boy in the 90s, with his mother and elder sisters being key influences, Andy has taught himself over 12 different styles of dance, and is known to have one of the most unique and stylised uprocks in the biz. It’s like he’s always looking for the next challenge and if it means learning how to walk upstairs on his hands, then so be it.

Andy is also an accomplished painter whose art depicts some of the most beautiful and fascinating elements of this universe. With some of his paintings involving over 300 hours of labour, these complex and cryptic works leave you in a seamless, timeless state of consciousness. It’s Andy’s incessant questioning of the world and his astute fascination with life, rhythm and movement that makes him such an interesting artist. “

San Francisco Street Murals

There are literally dozens of things that make San Francisco one of our favorite cities. Of course there’s the ill shopping spots and the world’s best burritos, but when it comes to cost effective (read: free) attractions, it gets no better than the Mission District’s murals.

For years the Mexican-turned-hipster neighborhood’s alleys have been home to some of the dopest street art in the world. The latest (above) was thrown up recently by Chor Boogie and Max Ehrman
