This monumental installation from FAILE is insane. The structure and surrounds are made up of a diverse mix of sculpture, ornate metal work and mosaic tiling. Hell, there is even one crazy fountain and as for the collab’s trademark layered mash up’s, they have evolved into the brilliant relief pieces you can see adorning the walls. epic.

Is there anything you want to know about spray paint history, brands, charts, collections and much more ?
So go check out the Cap Matches Color website for everything there ever was to know about spray paint!

Plus interviews with graffiti writers from back then, like Sen One and others, telling their racking stories, the best and worst spray paints and painting experiences, with awesome photos from the old school.
In this photo, Sen and his IBM CREW :SHOOT, PEL (RIP), SEN-1, POZE, POKE, WEST, LONE, NEL (RIP), ECO.
They also accept contributions of photos,artworks and interviews from old school writers, so if you were there share the history!

Some fine examples of street art by Roa in his town of Ghent Belgium. Found on photographer Romanywg’s photostream on flickr. I recommend checking Romanywg’s photostream, his photography of decaying warehouses and derelicts buildings is really dope.

Australian artist TEZ is an all rounder, his art spans across an array of mediums including painting, sculpture, ceramics, screen-printing and vector illustration. Much of his work comprises of a combination of these mediums and often incorporates recycled materials and found objects. TEZ unveiled his debut solo exhibition “Sure Ain’t Sushi” at Sydney’s China Heights gallery in late 2009.
He resides in his “fibro castle” on the New South Wales Central Coast and more often than not can be found in his shed creating his next fresh piece or just plain old tinkering.
