For those of you who still aren’t convinced that stumbleupon isn’t worth worshiping take a look at what it delivered yesterday morning:
The site doesn’t say where/who did these. Check out more at the site.
Also something on creativity that really sparked my interest. How creative can you be?
Perusing around town yesterday I found some cool stencils and some wheatpastings as well:
An artist group in Zimbabwae (The Zimbabwean Newspaper) is using hyper inflation to their advantage. I find thier public art to be particularly enticing. If one reads about Zimbabwae and the iron fisted rulership of Mugabe one can see the danger of making art like this. This stuff is pretty revolutionary in spirit and you can check out their flickr page here. In the description of a billboard covered entirely in Zimbabwean currency the author mentions that the money is actually cheaper than paper. Incredible.
In my last post I mentioned some inspiring street art. Moose is another inspiring artist who I recently stumbledupon. Moose is a “reverse graffiti environmental artist” who uses dirt (or the absence of it) to create his imagery. I think his ideas are conceptually very strong. Like, bulging-biceps-vein-criss-crossed strong. His medium is quite unique and supports his environmental imagery. On top of that, his images and compositions are pretty good. I seriously suggest reading the article watching the videos on Moose here. If you like what you see here I’d also suggest you check out some other artists.
