Banksy Gives Random Graffiti The Broadway Makeover
As we mentioned yesterday, English street artist Banksy is on a month-long residency in the street of New York. His "Better Out Than In" public exhibition has been going strong as different pieces have been popping up everyday since October 1st. Today, Banksy gives us random graffiti piece given a Broadway makeover (an ongoing series). The three new pieces can be seen at Delancey, Bushwick, and Williamsburg neighborhoods. Check out the new pieces below and head over to the BANKSYNY site for more witty and funny audio from his toll free # to help you through the exhibit.
Scott Hocking Photographs Detroit's Worst Graffiti
Its not often that you see graffiti like this documented and I don't mean graffiti in general because many have documented the art of graffiti in various ways. But when we typically see photographs of graffiti that someone took the time to document its usually huge murals, lots of color, and crazy style, you know a work of art. Photographer Scott Hocking chose to go a different route and decided to document the worst graffiti in Detroit. What he shot was pretty interesting and honestly quite amusing making you think who would write these things, but in the end the project captures someone who wanted their voice heard. Check out the photos and head on over to Vice for the rest of the set here.
