Banksy Piece

Yes, this is a popular Banksy piece that someone even dressed up as for Halloween. The phrase is important and I feel should be passed along.

Broken Fingaz - Graffiti Stop Motion

This is a cool stop motion video and it is creative. It's only 1:51 long, so take a quick break and view what Broken Fingaz has done.

Coolest Social Studies Classroom by Higher Level Art

Check out this video done by Higher Level Art. They transform two social studies classrooms for  Holmes High School and Middle School in Covington, Kentucky into a very elaborate exciting room full of art. This was done in 10 days and it's an amazing job that was done. Watch the process of how this gets done.I don't think anyone will fall asleep in this class room, if anything the students will be distracted by the art in the room. Very well done.

Branded Baron has new shirts for you that you can pre-order now. Only a limited amount are going to be printed, so reserve your tee by ordering. You can see the Statue of Liberty design that I created available with a red and purple bandana. There's also a t-shirt for the sneakerheads with the "Don't be a hypebeast" tee. Also, "Street Art, Street Crime" was an older Branded Baron design that is brought back for this occasion. The graffiti influenced artwork was created by AlSquad of Squadcore.

Mushyhead video process by Ray Masaki

Here's a video process of Ray Masaki going from sketch to vector in Illustrator. He has a very whacky cool style. The eyes reminds me of artist KAWS 's work, but that's about it. Ray chooses an interesting color palette, but watch how someone else designs their work.

Wall Etchings through Explosives!

This is a "BOOM" in your face video. Alexandre Farto aka Vhils created these wall etchings by blowing parts of the wall up. Now this is one of those fun videos where you definitely tell people at home not to try it....not because it would be too much fun, but that they'll blow off their heads trying.

"Have You Seen Him" Poster by Phil Jones

I thought that this was funny poster and it's more street art, than a typical graphic design poster.

Shepard Fairey Wheat Paste 101

Shepard Fairey the man behind Obey, shows his steps of what he does before hitting the streets. He tells you his recommendations, so before you get up maybe there's something you should do first.

Banksy makes mark in Simpsons Opening

Street artist Banksy has made his mark in the opening of the Simpsons by tagging his name all over the town of Springfield, hiding Bart's face as though he was out in the street creating graffiti, and making a dark turn at the end of the opener. The twist you see an Asian sweatshot where the workers create Simpsons merchandise with one worker whipping a Panda bear to move the carriage and another using a unicorn to make dvds. Supposedly this was tightly sealed, until it was aired the other night. It has now become a viral video. Banksy knows how to stir up commotion and all for the sake of art.

Space Can design for Branded Baron Apparel

This design was released as a Branded Baron shirt for the summer release. I personally loved the concept of creating the universe with a spray can. The surreal design is creative and different than what is normally seen on some tees. Designs have to be fresh and new and I feel this design took it there. It's available for guys AND girl shirts.
