TigTab’s amazing light paintings.
And, no, these images were not photo-manipulated. They were done in one continuous long-exposure shot. All of TigTab’s stencils are hand cut and placed on a custom built light box.
Created by Heavy Artillery‘s AROE, this monster Adam Yauch tribute is 12 feet high and 64 feet long.
Inspired by the Beastie Boys debut album “Licence to Ill”, AROE added a few personal touches and came up with this visually stunning memorial to the legendary MCA.
Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada’s Identity Series in Barcelona.
Gerada was drawn to the beauty of old surfaces on which he blended photo-realistic images of anonymous locals made from charcoal. These time-based portraits gradually deteriorate. They become a metaphor of the fading of life, of fame and of the things we think are important.
His Identity Series is about initiating a dialogue with a local community through art. His street art portraits transformed local, anonymous residents into social icons, giving relevance to an individual’s contribution to the community and touching upon the legacy that each life has to offer. His creation of this series is also an act that is environmentally sound. The photo-realistic pieces will gradually fade away. The importance of each piece is the whole process of creation, destruction and memory.
Is this a new Banksy?

Carlos Donjuan’s graffiti-inspired narrative paintings.
From his artist statement:
Mixed with the skills that I learned in the streets is the knowledge that I have gained in an academic setting. It’s binding painting’s traditional techniques with experimental forms of applying paint on a raw surface. Interweaving art history references with graffiti art’s history, which is still being made today. Creating a hybrid way of thinking made from art jargon and slang from the streets.
Street art by M-E-S-A.
A collaboration between El Mac and Augustine Kofie.

Feeling very antipodean today… first marsupials, now springboks!
An Australian still life by ROA.
It was featured at the summer Outpost Festival on Cockatoo Island in Sydney, Australia. It’s an amazing piece and kinda scary up-close.
Inertia Creeps, British street artist Snik’s new 6-layer stencil.
Located somewhere in the streets of Stamford in the UK, it’s his first street piece in an apparently really long time.
