Legos and masked queens


I love the wild streak in 2nisis designs. The edgy, urban feel, the graffiti and stencil art connotations and the revolutionary-friendly attitude. Plus, they make great shirts! This lego guy spraying the mighty dollar is a really good.


The stamp with Queen Elizabeth sporting a gas mask is another prime example of this artist's unconventional inventiveness. The store offers a small but brilliant collection of interesting designs -not for the docile-minded.

Top 10 Zazzle Graffiti designs

The pulse of the city, the writing on the wall, the canvas for daring artists, the uttering of saints, prophets and delinquents. Graffiti. I love it. I searched thousands of designs to find what I consider to be the most interesting ones. Here they are, for your pleasure and mine, the graffiti crème de la crème up to March 2011:


(1)

Spray can: the graffiti artist's weapon of choice. From HiFi Artworx.



(2)

Wonderful magnet with minimalistic graffiti humor from Chicaloo.



(3)

Great colors and an unusual demon on this postcard. Chicaloo is, once again, the culprit!



(4)
A gas mask portrait on a wall, photographed by Sophie Vigneault of ZiggySofi and nicely put on an iPhone case.


(5)

A classic hip hop tag on a classic hoodie. Urban calligraphy from Alcahuete.



(6)

An exploding red graffiti design provides ultra momentum to this skateboard. Created by Olive Green.



(7)

A superb mug from a composition of building graffiti. Well done, Martine A.Eisenlohr!



(8)

The coolest graffiti Keds shoes from the talented hands of J.Reed for Style Universal.



(9)

Usualy I'm not into ties, but Martine A.Eisenlohr has done a truly great job on this one.



(10)


An abstract piece of real beauty will become your next skateboard. Powerful product from Manny's Thoughts.

Losing the one

Here is a simple, effective idea that conveys much: love, loss, irony,sadness and a wicked sense of humor. It's a fine poster from Joe Iurato, an artist with a talent for expressive stencil and spray work. I'm sure that a great sci-fi short story is hidden inside this image waiting to be put to words. Strong and inspiring stuff!
In Joe's site you may see more of his splendid work.

Devil and the one who weeps


Fine arts and objects of everyday use go fine together in my book. Provided we're talking about strong, personal art, the gritty kind, the kind that bites you. That's why I love the work of Micah Luke (aka 6:8), an extremely talented spray paint artist. I particularly like the sober mood in this piece (The one who weeps), shown here on a beautiful bookmark. Mikah is great when he does color but look at the strength of his b/w, too:

If I had to put a subtitle to this one, it would be "Impact of reality". There are more impactful things to be found in Micah Luke's site. Raw, vivid and totally un-generic!
