These XL Posters all over Paris from Italian artist Combo have been getting a lot of attention. Link back to Street Art News for the set.

Is it me you’re looking for? Love it. Second only to my favorite awesome cat.

Saw this on BoingBoing and thought it was great. Attributed to Oleg Volk. Big topic as we lead into the holiday ‘flying’ season.

Twenty Bs pointed me to this amazing clip of some guys dancing on a rainy street corner in my old hometown of Oakland, CA. Love it. Joyful expression.

Hand-drawn Overlays.

I really like this series from Belgian guy Ben Heine. Hand-drawn sketches integrated into real-world imagery. Great stuff here.

TrustoCorp Truth.

Check out this great Flickr set here. Decorating the streets of Los Angeles, Miami and New York City, street artist TrustoCorp adds personality to Metropolitan areas with these hand painted street signs. While all of the signs are amusing, some of them seem to carry a social message, while others come off a bit lighter. I can just imagine a person looking up at one of these signs in confusion, before breaking out in a great big smile.

Support Your Local Heroin Brand.

Neat blurb about a startup art project documenting ‘heroin brands’ – the stamps found on bags of heroin identifying their maker or seller. This has always been a little intriguing to me. You can support their project with a small donation here.

In case of Vampire…

I go back & forth on the Vampire phenomenon, but really love this type of creative ‘disruptor’ advertising. Nice.

No idea where this came from, but it reminds me of the perpetual graffiti debate here in New Orleans, courtesy of the Gray Ghost jackass.
