You’re looking at VAMP, the London graffiti so prolific a judge recently called his work “industrial in scale.” He tagged trains, walls, and bridges all over the city, logging hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damages and earning the respect of the local graff scene and the ire of the police. He also had […]
The graffiti in this timelapse video is great–Australian writer SOFLES absolutely crushes a complex of abandoned buildings–but just as impressive is the video itself. Shooter/editor Selina Miles keeps the camera moving around the buildings throughout the complex, which, for timelapse photography, is both technically challenging and just really nice to look at. Take a look […]
For some enhancers of public and private property, street art and graffiti stickers are an important tool in the arsenal. London is covered with them. Click through gallery above. (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
When it comes to precision hits on public spaces, Mobstr deploys several tactics: spray paint, stenciled phrases and mixed-media sculptures. Over the past few years, Mobstr has made a name for himself, literally, while remaining anonymous — a near impossible feat in any city, let alone London, a place notorious for its network of CCTV cameras […]
It’s only a matter of time before 5 Pointz is gone, and whether they intended to or not, a video production company called Aerial VP has created a fitting tribute to the graffiti sacred grounds. The footage, shot from a hexacopter drone, is something to behold, even if the editing sucks and the soundtrack is […]
The amount of street art in Shoreditch is palpable. It’s all over, creating an almost Disney-like atmosphere as tourists of all ages walk the streets with their smart phones in hand, snapping photos, even if they have no idea who exactly they’re shooting. A lot of the work continually going up in the East London […]
I suppose it was always going to come to this. Deutsche Bahn, the company that runs Germany’s railways, plans to use drones equipped with super-sensitive infrared cameras in an attempt to catch graffiti writers in the act of painting trains. According to the BBC, the drones, which Deutsche Bahn hopes to test soon, will be virtually […]
Back in the day, when graffiti writers painted subway cars, it was the elevated lines — as you can imagine — that gave them the most exposure. Trains became rolling canvasses that would traverse New York City, from end to end, bearing the namesakes of these outlaw artists. To celebrate the pioneers from this iconic […]
Brooklyn Bridge is the Times Square of bridges. Here are a few artifacts that Joe America has left behind in the from of citizen graffiti, as well as local writers. Nothing particularly fancy. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery above. (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
Our friends at the Klughaus Gallery are currently hosting a special pop-up exhibit entitled “PALINGENESIS,” featuring Parisian PAL (Peace and Love) Crew and their LES “forefather” GOREY. The work walks a delicate path from graffiti into fine art. This is PAL’s first U.S. gallery debut. Check out our shots of some of the work. “PALINGENESIS,” GOREY, HORFE, CONY, TOMEK, […]
