3 Letter Structuring Tips | Graffiti Art
Hi, I'm Pays164, and here's some of my better letter structuring tips. I like to kind of structure my letters off of different images. If I'm down in New Mexico painting with my friends I might kind of shape my; P, A, E, S, just to kind of vibe with the environment like cactus's. Keep that in mine when you're doing your piece, maybe in your environment or what's going on in your life, could be something funny translated into the piece. Doesn't mean you got to be like, Oh, I'm going to paint a tiger piece and do it orange with stripes. But yet, the shape of it can be striking like a tiger.

Five Pointz: New York's graffiti landmark faces demolition
For 20 years, Five Pointz, an abandoned series of factory buildings on Long Island in New York, has been one of the world's prime legal outdoor graffiti spaces. But soon artists may have to take their spray cans somewhere else.
Having allowed "aerosol art" on the walls since 1993, the owner of the property plans to demolish the building later this year to make room for two high-rise towers for residential flats.
Although the developers have pledged to reserve some room for art at the new building, the artists say they have not been offered any space.
The BBC met with the artists and the developer involved in the dispute.
Produced by the BBC's Sune Engel Rasmussen; filmed by Ilya Shnitser.

Who owns the street? (2013 Adelaide documentary)
Street art, whether it be a thought provoking piece of work, or ugly graffiti or tagging which people desire to be painted over, is a reflection of our culture and reversely art can change or maintain a culture. If people don't want to see the ugly and messy tagging that constantly gets painted over, then we need to shift our social values away from being derogatory and insulting towards human development. Who owns the street? the love of life should be the basis of the art that gets painted. Art which doesn't represent the love of life is unfortunately mainstream.

Global Street Art - Lebanon - Art In The Streets - MOCAtv
The street art scene in the Lebanese capital of Beirut reflects the city's unique identity; an Arab city rich with diverse cultures and Western influences. While graffiti has existed in Beirut for more than a decade, many artists credit the 2006 civil war as the catalyst for the evolution of the vibrant street scene.
Today, Beirut is the hub of graffiti collaborations, with international graffiti artists flocking to its streets, and Lebanese artists looking to their Western peers for inspiration. Still, while these artists claim that graffiti is more or less legal in Beirut, there have been several recent arrests of graffiti artists; so the life of a street artist is not exactly risk-free.

Interaction Art -- Pat Attack
"The start of a new digital art project, to bring an interactive platform to up and coming artist and illustrators from around London. We started out on this journey building building a introduction portfolio for one of are artists Pat Attack. We went out on location to Waterloo tunnels, a renowned and expressively accepted art space in London. We spent the morning filming Pat while he painted a 15′ high inky monster in Indian ink, a painstakingly time consuming task as the paintbrush he uses is all of 1/4″ thick. Although he calls himself a graffiti artist, he never touches spray can, which make for a really interesting medium that you do not see a lot of in this area of art. In the evening we got together for some pizza a few drinks, and a chat to ask Pat about what inspires him to work in this way. For the future we aim to curate a gallery space as a platform for artists to do an exhibition, including live painting sessions. We will be incorporating new and exciting digital technologies to the exhibition to create a fresh collaborative spectacle for are audience.

Ubiquitous Graffiti in Prague 2013
Prague is a city full of street art. After the velvet revolution, when the communist government collapsed, people started to seek vents for their feelings. Street art started to thrive.
When walking in the city, you can street arts everywhere in different forms. The most famous street art is the Lennon Wall; it covered the portraits of Lennon and lyrics from Beatles songs. It's a symbol of love, peace and courage. In 1988, young people draw on this wall to fight against communist regime and the Lennon wall changed a lot since then.
Instead of beautifying the city, there are some graffiti just do the opposite. The swearing words people draw casually on streets, public infrastructures and private shops bring troubles to people around. It's a dilemma for the government; they can't simply ban the graffiti, it may hurt the spirit of freedom. The only thing they can do is keep scrubbing and repainting.
Os Gemeos - Art in the Streets - MOCAtv - Ep 23
São Paulo based graffiti artists Os Gemeos (The Twins) are internationally known for their vivid, surrealistic painting style and its playful political commentary. Before they began painting, Os Gemeos were active in their neighborhood's b-boy scene, where hip hop culture had reached by the late 1980s and gained a particularly strong presence. With limited contact to hip hop's origins in New York, Os Gemeos began developing their own technique and style, eventually infusing Brazilian cultural elements and imagery into their work. Since then, Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo have gained worldwide notoriety and an influential fan base. The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston recently invited Os Gemeos to have their first solo museum exhibition in the United States, where the pair showed paintings and mixed media pieces. In conjunction with the eponymous exhibition, Os Gemeos painted a large mural -- one of the first of its scale in Boston -- as a gift to the city.

Giant Graffiti Street Art in Rio Revitalizes Port Area for 2016 Olympics
Brazilian graffiti artist, Toz, is painting a giant mural in Rio de Janeiro's port region, as the area gears up for the 2016 Olympics. A giant and colorful mural is bringing a bit of life to Rio de Janeiro's poor port region. The area is being renewed for the 2016 Olympic Games. The vibrant artwork is courtesy of Brazilian graffiti artist Toz who, together with his friends, is filling the 98-foot tall mural with bright colors and random caricatures. The artwork is already the biggest of its kind in the city, and was commissioned by Lojas Americanas and B2W, two of the biggest brands in Brazil, which own the building where the mural is being painted.
[Toz, Brazilian Graffiti Artist]:
"My vision was to design something where there was enough space for my artist friends to showcase their work and also for me expose my work. That's why I had this idea of these triangles, as if they were small windows into different worlds and ideas."
To fill the space, Toz and eight other artists have used 1500 cans of spray paint so far.
Rio still has some way to go to catch up to other world cities, such as London and Berlin, when it comes to street art, but Toz believes the talent and the spaces are there.
[Toz, Brazilian Graffiti Artist]:
"Graffiti was born in those areas—the more distant and neglected areas—and today here we are, painting the side of a building, so I think not just here, but in any place which is destroyed and neglected is a perfect place for graffiti artists."
For the people who work and live in the area, the colorful mural is a pleasant addition to the bleak surroundings.
[Carlos Magno, Construction Worker]:
"It used to be an ugly building, but now it can even become a tourist attraction, I think it's cool."
Rio de Janeiro's port region will be one of the focal points of the 2016 Olympic Games.

INSA brings his innovative GIF-ITTI to the White Walls Project as he completes his biggest and most complex moving piece to date.
It's a first for us here - 3 days in the sun re-painting this monster wall 4 times to give us this completely original result.
The beauty of INSA's GIF-ITI is that it only truly lives when viewed online, where these days most street art ends up being viewed, and exaggerates the ephemeral nature of graffiti as each layer is painted instantly over the last. Mixing retro internet technology and labour intensive painting, INSA creates slices of infinite un-reality, cutting edge art for the tumblr generation.

The "Versus" project comes to light as a type of platform to be able to discover the new color range of Hardclore2 through the experiences of well known writers, at both a local level as well as on a international level. The concept is very simple, just like graffiti was during its more primal state: The invited artists choose their color for filling, and black and white for outlines and highlights.
A excellent way to show us the skills and ingenuity of these writers by confronting these limitations, and at the same time, check the results of each of these new colors in a clairvoyant way, without any noise, without accessories or additives, only a writer painting a surface for a video not even two minutes long.

Anti-Drone Street Artist Arrested, Charged With 56 Counts
"A street artist who hung satirical posters criticising police surveillance activities has been arrested after an NYPD investigation tracked him to his doorstep. With the help of a small crew, the artist now identified as Essam Attia had placed the fake Big Brother-style adverts in locations throughout Manhattan, using a fake Van Wagner maintenance van and uniforms to avoid detection."*
After creating satirical posters about the NYPD and recent efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to "facilitate and accelerate the adoption" of surveillance drones by local police departments, Essam Attia was tracked down by the NYPD's "counter terrorism" unit and was arrested. Will he be treated more harshly for his stance? Ana Kasparian and Kim Horcher (Host, Nerd Alert) discuss Attia's mission and if his struggle will ignite any change.

Giant Graffiti Art in Rio Revitalizes Port Area for 2016 Olympics
Brazilian graffiti artist, Toz, is painting a giant mural in Rio de Janeiro's port region, as the area gears up for the 2016 Olympics.
The vibrant artwork is courtesy of Brazilian graffiti artist Toz who, together with his friends, is filling the 98-foot tall mural with bright colors and random caricatures.
The artwork is already the biggest of its kind in the city, and was commissioned by Lojas Americanas and B2W, two of the biggest brands in Brazil, which own the building where the mural is being painted.
[Toz, Brazilian Graffiti Artist]:
"My vision was to design something where there was enough space for my artist friends to showcase their work and also for me expose my work. That's why I had this idea of these triangles, as if they were small windows into different worlds and ideas."
To fill the space, Toz and eight other artists have used 1500 cans of spray paint so far.
Rio still has some way to go to catch up to other world cities, such as London and Berlin, when it comes to street art, but Toz believes the talent and the spaces are there.
[Toz, Brazilian Graffiti Artist]:
"Graffiti was born in those areas—the more distant and neglected areas—and today here we are, painting the side of a building, so I think not just here, but in any place which is destroyed and neglected is a perfect place for graffiti artists."
For the people who work and live in the area, the colorful mural is a pleasant addition to the bleak surroundings.
[Carlos Magno, Construction Worker]:
"It used to be an ugly building, but now it can even become a tourist attraction, I think it's cool."
Rio de Janeiro's port region will be one of the focal points of the 2016 Olympic Games.
City servants are investing millions of real (pronounced re-Al) in new transport links, road works and new housing, to accommodate the thousands of visitors expected during the summer of 2016.
