Graffiti Wars

Untitled from StreetArtNews on Vimeo.

Some might might know that I am interested in street art and graffiti.

I think this movie is interesting, so have a look at it.

Who Is ZIZI?

As you may now I have a faible for streetart and now quite a lot about it. One of the nice things of berlin are the many streetart pieces you can find all over the city. That's why I was so delighted to see many streetart pieces also in Tel Aviv. Isn't the orthodox jew amazing? Who is ZIZI?

Wie ihr vielleicht wisst, hab ich ein Faible für Streetart und weiß auch einiges darüber. Eines der schönen Dinge in Berlin ist, dass man egal wo man lang läuft fast immer ein Streetartkunstwerk entdecken kann. Gerade deshalb war ich so erfreut, dass es viele auch in Tel Aviv zu entdecken gab/gibt. Ist der orthodoxe Jude nicht großartig? Aber wer ist ZIZI?

Street Art Creating Street Wear

As I mentioned recently I have to present a paper to my art teacher as one part of making my A-level.
My topic has to do something with street art and its developing from vandalism to acknowledged art. It is a really interesting topic, because stree tart effects our daily lifes while graffiti/stencils/poster/sticker etc can be spottet in every street of your city/village.
It is also very interesting because I get to know a great clothing brand during my research. The brand has been developed from a sticker campaign called "Andre The Giant Has A Posse" started by the street art artist Sherpard Fairey. He took a picture of a sportsman simplified it and spread it on stickers all over the world.
Here are some pictures from their ss09 collection:

This is the picture on the sticker, which got the ball rolling.

In my opinion the collection is fresh and colourful like spring and summer and absolutly wearable, when you get about a lot in the streets. It is totally nice street wear.
So street art has been transformed into street wear(what a conclusion=D) .
