Eine Graffiti Typography Letter-Set

By Chungaiz | Published: October 15, 2008
  Lost this, then found it. So I’m now posting it! Eine’s a graffiti artist who paints beautifully rendered type across the city (mainly East London to be fair). Check is site out for a full portfolio of all the madness he paints. It’s this tool that I love most though, created through Dave Gorman’s Flickr [...]

Interactive Architecture

By Chungaiz | Published: September 2, 2008
I’ve had these great examples of interactive art and building projections in my head for a while now, but thought I should share them with TheScrapBook! The Graffiti Research Lab is an awesome project, not in the least for their two great inventions – Throwies and Laser Tag. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser [...]

Roadsworth: Crossing the Line

By Chungaiz | Published: July 15, 2008
Roadsworth’s story is a compelling one: his street art is genuinely “on the street” and provokes thought about our urban landscape and interaction with it, as well as making us reconsider the extent we rely on signs, signifiers and cars to run our lives. He’s also facing severe punishment (money and jail time) for his [...]

Reverse Graffiti Project

By Chungaiz | Published: June 13, 2008
You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Paul “Moose” Curtis has created a mural in San Francisco by spray cleaning the walls rather than spray cleaning them. Nice idea from PSFK… Hang on a second: this is a direct steal from Ariel’s “Graffiti” work made by Saatchi and Saatchi. Or [...]

Graffiti and Fashion

By Chungaiz | Published: June 4, 2008
So, I’m loving 12oz prophet today, as you can tell. Just read a(nother) great article about the influence that street art and raw talent has had on high fashion. Drip graffiti, as pioneered (as far as I’m aware) by the likes of KR / Krink (check the link for KR on CNN), is what Allen [...]

JR Hits Up Soho

By Chungaiz | Published: May 21, 2008
Thanks to Ciaran we’ve got a photo of the great JR street art that’s been put up on Lexington Street, round the corner from our office. The rumour is that JR wanted to put his work up onto the tall chimney as part of the Tate Modern’s street art project, but he wasn’t allowed to. [...]

Malcolm Gladwell on Innovations and Insights

By Chungaiz | Published: May 13, 2008
What do Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, or Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, or Newton and Leibniz, or Joseph Priestley and Carl Wilhelm Scheele, or indeed Galileo in Italy, Scheiner in Germany, Fabricius in Holland and Harriott in England all prove? “Scientific genius is not a person who does what no one else [...]

Cans Festival

Banksy, Paul Insect, Faile, Sam3, Roadsworth, Dolk, Blek le Rat and many more were in full effect at Waterloo this past week, culminating in a rather impressive display of stencil and can based graffiti, at the Cans Festival. The exhibit was only up over the bank holiday weekend, but will live on, forever, online – [...]
