My final post for the blog will be leaving you with some art work from local street artist from Atlanta, Swampy. I really like this crazy skull head character with ram horns. You can find more of his work on the link I listed above.

Also here is a link to a gallery show he had called "In My Room."

Banksy - "Fuck Art"

I found this Banksy online and I liked how it depicts the contrast between art in a gallery and art that is on the street. It directly communicates how street art is not confined by the edges of a canvas or the walls of a gallery space in a museum. Step outside the frame!

Graffiti Wars

A great video detailing the war between King Robbo and Banksy. It seems like the documentary is pretty one sided. They paint King Robbo in a much for positive light than Banksy. They seems to say Banksy is a sell out, while King Robbo is justified in all of his actions. You decide what the real truth is.

Working together to create Street Art

Nice article about two street artists who work together to create art works. If you found their works without knowing anything about them, I feel you might find yourself enchanted by their works. Creating a back-story or an ancient history within the strokes that create this mythical girl figure.
