Dead Hearts by Canadian street artist Roadsworth.
I’ve had Valentine reflux this week. Been M.I.A. So this seems a fitting return post…
By Australian street artist, Buff Diss, from Melbourne.
He “tape paints” all kinds of images from abstract to hands to skulls. He’s been using tape instead of paint for the past six or seven years.
The bottom image is from a recent mural for Red Stripe in London.
The Pothole Gardener in London.
Equal parts art project, labor of love, social experiment, and mission to highlight how crappy East London roads are, don’t these images just make you smile?
David Choe, my new artist crush?
Born in LA, now living in NYC, yet still keeps a makeshift studio thirty minutes south of San Fran; Choe is prolific. He’s a street artist, painter, muralist, photographer, graphic novelist, sculptor, all-around artist-nomad. He’s won lots of awards and has an impressive list of clients. He travels all the time and counts Israel, NYC, Vietnam, the Bay Area as his favorite places. Plus he gets to sleep in past 12pm pretty much every day.
Recently, Choe caught up with Mark Zuckerberg at the new fb headquarters then headed over to Mile-High City for the Terminal Kings project at Denver International Airport where he brought along his friends, artists DVS-1 and Joseph To, to create three massive murals.

Fresh from painting a mural on segments of the Berlin Wall in LA, artistic duo Herakut exhibited their unique style of painting in a pop-up show, which highlighted the growing urban art scene, called Hallenkunst in Chemnitz, Germany.
Herakut consists of Akut and Hera whose work is inspired by music and poetry. The duo describes Herakut as:
“Hera and Akut speaking at the same time, telling you completely different stories or the very same story just in their very own words.”
Woke up thinking about French artist JR’s “Pervasive Art” this morning.
These are images from his 2009 trip to Kenya, where he covered 2000 square meters of rooftops with photos of the women of Kibera. His large scale photographs became part of the documentary Women Are Heroes, released almost a year ago, which documents his amazing process.
Like he said:
The streets are the largest art gallery in the world.
