Tag! Oscar Le Grouch

oscarfar“Hey Faran,

I love all the graffiti stuff you’ve been posting and couldn’t resist sending you some of my favorite pieces that I’ve seen.

I’m assuming the first image is mosaic work by the infamous Invader in Paris.

Cheers!  Sara”

We love The Grouch!  (Also, this is a good time to plug the True Mud episode of Sesame Street.)

North Carolina“Hi Faran,

Here’s a few from an alley in Wintson-Salem, NC (a place where you wouldn’t normally expect to find such cool graffiti).

The second photo is an upward-angle shot, to emphasize the paint ripping from the stone wall.

Hope you enjoy it, Nylon :)

–Allie.”

We love North Carolina!

We’re very appreciative!

tilldeathdouspart“Hi Faran!

Being a Los Scandalous native I have a severe affinity for getting lost, even with the aid of GPS.  This proved awesome however, while trying to navigate my way through the Austin city streets during a little five day fest (sxsw) that brings out the music masochist in us all.  While trying to hunt down my next gotta-see group, I lost my way and came across this wall art!  Being from L.A., graffiti is pretty much always a backdrop in my concrete jungle- but this little post-mortem tribute was absolute lust at first sight.  Enjoy!

Cool!  Here are some more skulls from Austin.

After all the hype surrounding the Mr. Brainwash show in LA, I thought NYLON would enjoy this artistic image displaying his work. Enjoy!

Tag! Edinburgh

Grafitti“Hi Faran,

I was wondering around the cobbled lanes in Edinburgh and after getting happily lost I came across the attached street art.

I love the fact that the grey background and muted colours are just like the winter skies right now.

Hope you enjoy!

Sophie”

This is so great!  And Edinburgh is an incredible city, for all kinds of art (and also for beer).

I went to LA for the first time last week and couldn’t believe all of the beautiful street art they had there!

Found this little gem on Pacific Ave. right by Venice Beach.

It’s just lovely!

Love all these colors, and also the color of the door!

tom“Hey Faran,

I recently came across this Venice based artist named Tom Christiansen.

Aside from doing his own traditional graffiti on walls, he makes arts from the Venice graffiti wall!

Check it all out on his Facebook page.

Below are some images of his work.
