Taking street art to the literal street

Street art is what usually refers to graffiti, but we’re forgetting perfect spaces to cover; the street.

Roadworth isn’t forgetting. Check out these crazy alterations of blacktop.

Mark Jenkins doesn’t like being stuck indoors

Posted on Monday, March 23rd, 2009 by lee

Neither does his art. Mark Jenkins’ website has a great section on Street Installations. In what must be a very confusing situation to see, he displays what looks like bodies in weird positions such as halfway in a fountain, diving in a trashbag and even with their head through a wall.

I am curious to people reactions. It seems as though his stuff is all over the world, so I am wondering if anyone who reads this has ever seen one of his pieces.

Found art on the streets of NoHo

Posted on Sunday, March 22nd, 2009 by lee

This week as I was roaming the streets of Noho, I noticed this contrast of black and white on the ground known as a crosswalk. As I approached 3rd St and Broadway, maybe, I found this:

This begs two questions:

1. Is that true? Has the origami I’ve been so fond of for years been for the uncool? Diddy told me he liked it!

2. Who is behind this?

In answering these, I found new depths of sadness. The first answer is a resounding yes. I didn’t know it, but I was tricked by supernerds to make origami; they schemed for a long time and finally pulled me in. Oh well, I still think I’ve been majorly suave giving origami cranes on all of my first dates. The second answer came to me in a dream or better yet, google. It turns out this crew, the Not So Cool Kids were just doing some advertising. Also unfortunately, I wasn’t the first to find this.

Have you seen this?

Have you been interested in pills but you don’t like taking them orally? Try these. You just put these in your ears and you’re on the way back to health. Thanks to Dynah for sending this to me.

Christmas is coming. I see it on the walls.

Found again on Wooster Collective, this series of elves have been seen in the streets of Auckland, New Zealand. It puts me in the spirit for suresies. By the way, if you’re buying me something, can you make it a Roombie? More pics after the jump and of course, email street art links to lee@cutandsewn.com. (more…)
