August 18, 2010 By Anne Burwell Leave a Comment

20. Green graffiti

18. Comic traffic signs

17. Mosquitoes attacking city billboards

In warm summer nights mosquitoes are hated and highly annoying, especially at night when they get attracted by the lights inside and around apartments. Well, that is exactly what happened on these billboards, except that these mosquitoes are fake. [more]


16. Huge Crate Man

This huge creature that reminds of a “lego man” is called Crate Man because he is actually made out of milk crates. He can be spotted on lots of places in Australia, especially in Melbourne. The creators Sam, Jerome, Ed and Gab, have used several colored milk crates to make their unique Crate Man. [more]


15. Star Wars stencils

Star Wars is still very popular, especially among younger people, and the stencils they make are both of R2D2, C3po, AT-AT, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Yoda, and so on, all the famous Star Wars characters. [more]


14. The road blocking barrel monster

A 22-year-old student, Joe Carnevale, took road blocking barrels, cut them and made a monster statue that became an Internet sensation. The “barrel monster” had a wide and toothy grin and was pointing down on cars and motorists passing nearby the university where he is a student. [more]


13. Useless fliers

All you need is paper, a printer and a bit of creativity to place the flier somewhere in the city, and that we’ll definitely put a smile on many faces. [more]


12. Pacman invades the streets of New York City

10. Sarcastic street signs

These funny signs are placed in several cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, etc., and they are still funny like all of TrustoCorp’s work. [more]


9. Street dumpster installations

British design graduate Oliver Bishop-Young has come up with an urban art project, called the SkipWaste project, where dumpsters are used in a fun and different way. They are no longer used for trash, but for activities and other amazing art installations. [more]


8. City statues decorated in an amusing way

Spanish artist from Madrid that calls himself SpY is creating a different kind of street art than most people are used to. He is making city statues look a bit more interesting by putting a bucket, a paper bag or a ski mask over their heads, a red clown nose on their noses or a pie in their faces. [more]


7. Portrait that is only viewable from special angles on the streets of Berlin

Walking in the streets of Berlin you might have seen this piece of art on one of the fences, or maybe you haven’t? It can be hard to spot it because it’s “hidden” in a clever way. You have to stand in a special angle to view this black and white portrait because it’s invisible if you stare at the fence from the front. [more]


6. Street art made with masking tape

Buff Diss is an awesome Melbourne based artist who has recently stranded himself in Europe. Some of his work can be seen in Paris, Barcelona and Jerusalem. All his works are made free-hand with masking tape. [more]

4. NYC tape art by Aakash Nihalani

His work is created in a reaction to what we readily encounter in our lives, sidewalks and doorways, building and bricks. I’m just connecting the dots differently to make my own picture. Others need to see that they can create too, connecting their own dots, in their own places. [more]


3. Street art on road crossings and paths

The Canadian artist Peter Gibson, more known as “Roadsworth”, has given the streets of Montreal an artistic touch using spray painting. He turns pedestrian crossings into giant shoe prints, writes eye catching messages on paths and making the end of the lines that divides the paths look like plugs. [more]

2. Using shadows to create street art

About Anne Burwell

Daughter, sister, wife, mother and writer. I spend half of my free time writing and the other half reading contemporary literature. I like to start my day with half an hour of yoga and then I head over to my desk with a cup of green tea to start working on my sci fi novel. On weekends I like to head over to the country side for a breath of fresh air and to catch up with my mom.
