Urban Candy Corn

Street artist Diabetik has been leaving candy corn traffic cones on the streets of Washington, D.C. Art like this just gives me such a chuckle and a smile!

Urban Escape

What a delight this must be to happen upon while strolling! Artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino's installation Urban Escape transforms a phone booth into a street aquarium as part of the Lyon Light Festival in France. A statement from the artists: “With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically coloured fish; an invitation to escape and travel.” Fantastic re-imagining of materials and presentation of urban street art.

Green Graffiti

A very green approach to unauthorized street art, moss graffiti art from Edina Tokodi (aka Mosstika). Love the whole idea of guerrilla gardening!

Living in a Miniature World

I first saw some of these artful photos of little people set in the streets of London awhile back, but failed to bookmark the site. This morning, thanks to Black Eiffel I rediscovered the world of Slinkachu. Slinkachu is the clever young artist/photographer behind these gems, “Little hand painted people, left in London to fend for themselves.”. His upcoming book “Little People in the City-The Street Art of Slinkachu” can be pre-ordered from the UK. There are lots of scenes posted on his blog, so check it out!
