JR Hits Up Truman Brewery
Streetartist/photographer JR gets a nice spot at the Truman Brewery in East London to show his work. It's actually an enormous piece and needs to be seen in flesh to realise the sheer scale of his paste-ups.

DFace gets defaced
I know this old news for all you seasoned Brit bloggers/readers but I am suffering from no internet connection at the mo! Poor D*Face had his website hacked into a couple weeks ago by a couple of "ironic" streetartists/webheads known as Dicky & Smif.
Poor D*Face! Oh well, I guess all publicity is good publicity.......
Hidden Radars on the Roads
Radars don’t always come in the standard package. And if you’re a driver addicted to speed, these findings will surely be useful. Policemen have really become creative and started placing radars in places you wouldn’t even think of. Here’s how speed addicts are apprehended.
Chewing Gum Installations and Sculptures
Have a look at some installations in different corners of the world that praise such an essential part of our modern life as a chewing gum!
Italian artist Maurizio Savini has distinguished himself by using a very unusual material for his sculptures: pink chewing gum. Here are some of his works.

Grass Covered Cars
Green cars with grass on top.
This is some freaky stuff to deal with.. alright the green concept could well be the call of the hour, but turning everything green is a bit heavy to digest. Concept such as this can be helpful when it comes to environment awareness. Vehicles covered in astroturf & even real grass. Check out the pics below:

Tate Modern Afterparty
Was invited on Friday afternoon by Mysterious Al to come and paint with him for the Tate Modern's "StreetArt" Afterparty in East London. Apparently, there was to be a party to get all the artists together for the Saturday and so they needed heads to paint it up a bit the day before.
As you will see, the Brits present (me & Al) at the gig painted some pretty dark shit. (The weather in the UK perhaps?) compared to all the other colorful works around us.
As we had to leave early, i didn't have a chance to get pictures of all the finished pieces but I imagine, it all looked pretty good for the Saturday.
Thanks again Al!
