Hilarious Graffitis

Hilarious Graffitis

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples going back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions.

However, the public generally frowns upon "tags" that deface bus stops, trains, buildings, playgrounds and other public property. So there you go.

Evolution of Arrows in Graffiti Art

Graffiti Art

One of the most important design elements in graffiti art is the arrow. Arrows express movement and energy. In her groundbreaking book "Tag Town", Martha Cooper photographed vintage graffiti tags in her Washington Heights neighborhood, still visible from the early 1970's to 1980's (tags are those hard to read scribbles you see on mailboxes and other surfaces around most cities). Many of these tags contained arrows, as well as stars, hearts, numbers, and crowns. From studying the images of these early tags, we were able to determine that the complex variations of arrows we see in today's advanced Wildstyle graffiti letterforms originated from simple graffiti tags.

Graffiti Art

An arrow is an internationally understood symbol that is used on signs to simply indicate direction, as in "Entrance" or "Exit". In graffiti art, however, an arrow is a powerful, visual tool that is often combined with letters to give them motion and dynamism. An arrow guides the eyes of the viewer in a specific direction. An arrow can project out from any side of a letter, weaving in and out, backwards and forwards, and around in circles, across a two-dimensional surface, creating depth and rhythm.

Graffiti Art

Graffiti artist Ezo says that every graffiti writer has his or her own arrow and it's true: the variations and design possibilities of an arrow are endless. An arrow can be drawn in all shapes and sizes; thick and chunky or long and spindly, pointy or squared, single or with multiple ends. An arrow can organically follow the flow and direction of a letter, like a vine. Or it can blast off of the side from which it protrudes, like a missile, as in the artwork of "The Rammelzee", known as Gothic Futurism.

Graffiti Art

So, early graffiti writers incorporated simple arrows and other basic design elements into their tags to make them stand out and grab attention. From that simple beginning, the arrow has evolved into a multi-faceted, complex and autonomous art object of its own. One New York artist and graffiti writer, Mare 139, actually creates beautiful, 3-dimensional sheet-metal sculptures that contain only arrows, with light and space as parts of his designs. We think arrows are a fascinating and diverse element of graffiti letterforms, providing artists and students with continuous possibilities for innovation and style. We totally love arrows.

Modern Day Graffiti Artists and the Law

Modern Day Graffitii

There are thousands of graffiti artists throughout the UK who continue to deface public property and surfaces each year. The on-going debate whether this is art or a crime is yet to be solved, encouraging more and more young artists to break into the graffiti world. Whilst many graffiti artists are caught by the police and issued with a warning/criminal record, there is one man who is the inspiration to many - Banksy.

Modern Day Graffitii

This elusive man has managed to conceal his identity in his many years of spraying surfaces across the world with his art. His success as a graffiti artist is largely down to his mystery as well as his unique approach to art. Whilst the globe is divided in half into those who admire him and those who despise him, he has truly created a name for himself. Banksy recently released a film 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' featuring a shop keeper turned amateur film maker who attempts to capture Banksy himself, only to have Banksy turn the camcorder back on its owner himself.

Whilst street art is an ever developing movement many forget that these street artists are committing an illegal offence. This is because no matter what they create on a public surface, they have not sought the permission to do so. The graffiti that is plastered across surfaces and walls all over the globe costs governments and authorities millions of pounds. Commercial cleaners are brought in to complete the anti graffiti removal using specialist equipment such as anti graffiti paint.
Graffiti is a costly and time consuming problem but with a divided country and no way of monitoring artists 24/7, the UK is constantly sprayed with fresh graffiti every day. Idols like Banksy are part of this problem, encouraging young and easy influenced artists to follow in their footsteps. A recent example of this poor example of a role model is Banksy paying £6,500 in bail each for Russian graffiti artists Voina who had been jailed for overturning police cars.

Modern Day Graffitii

There are many schemes that are anti graffiti who aim to crack down on the ever evolving problem. Local authorities set up graffiti and general litter schemes, spending money on educating and preventing future graffiti. These schemes also highlight other issues such as chewing gum stuck to the streets which requires experts in chewing gum removal to remove it safely and effectively.
Community Clean are specialists in anti graffiti removal. We use a range of hi-tech equipment to both clean and protect surfaces. Our anti graffiti paint will help maintain graffiti-free surfaces for years to come!

Works of Light Graffiti

  Works of Light Graffiti

Light graffiti, also known as light painting, is a photographic technique in which exposures are made usually at night or in a darkened room by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera; in most cases the light source itself does not have to appear in the image. Meet some of the best light artworks we've found.

Geek, Temporary & Reverse Graffiti

 

As influences would have it, many graffiti artists have gone hi-tech and many geeks have gotten into graffiti.

Here are some of the more fascinating results of this cross-pollination and unlikely alliance between two ordinarily quite different subcultural groups.

As graffiti and technology evolve alongside one another more and more innovative street artists are mixing media to create radical hybrids of graffiti art, design and technology.

Some employ high-tech equipment to project giant graffiti murals while others use it to enhance their street art stealth and portability. Some use tech less directly – as a source humorously geeky inspiration and subject matter.

Amongst the various developments in the world of urban street art reverse and temporary graffiti are two of the most exciting. Reverse graffiti involves the creation of patterns by selectively cleaning (as opposed to painting) surfaces.

Temporary graffiti is there then gone, also leaving no trace in the end. What makes these two types particularly promising is that they are (at worst) less destructive or (at best) even legal in some locations

 Light graffiti is a unique art that takes many forms, from comic and creative to refined and deliberate. These light graffiti artists span the spectrum and use a wide range of tools to create art that can only be captured in the right time and place via photography, itself a difficult art.

Light graffiti is uniquely ephemeral and inextricably intertwined with the art of photography, sometimes even invisible to the naked eye and apparent only when captured on film.

It is impermanent and its manifestations range from comical to sublime. The work of these twenty light graffiti artists spans the spectrum from humorously playful to deeply moving with everything in between.

The artists themselves, though their traces are seen in every shot, are rarely visible in the finished work. Sometimes they or other people feature in the work but mostly what can be seen is the after-effect of their creations, a time-lapse snapshot that condenses space and time into a single beautiful moment. Each thumbnail below will connect you to additional amazing images, inside information and further links about each artist and their work.

Street Painting and Sidewalk Chalk Art

 

Most people tend to think of graffiti as subversive art spraypainted in the dead of night on urban walls. Some artists, however, including Edgar Mueller, Julian Beever and Kurt Wenner, defy that stereotype, painting and chalking openly on city streets and sidewalks.

Beyond merely entertaining crowds, their work has at times even broken world records. These street art images and biographies merely scratch the surface and begin to convey their amazing artistic talents.

Graffiti Brazil: ENIVO

Marcus Vinícius aka ENIVO signed a pack with the vital essence of art at the age of 12, through his first experience with graffiti back in 1998. Since then, he has been scoring the city streets as a stamp of poetry, materializing ideas and feelings through images.

He spent much time following the intuitive experimental in his art through techniques, materials and possible languages in and out of Graffiti. Painting the movement, appreciating the unconscious to the expressive final result.

he takes all the mutations of his work as a portal to the new understanding that the technique, aesthetics, concept and expression of transiting in a cyclical form that comes and goes, where each new series is the result of what's been done while at the same time is a step to further research, branching ideas and bringing a range of possibilities for the future creations.
