    Check out BLU.

    A 28yr old painter from Bologna, Italy, goes by the alias “Blu.”
    He has recently emerged in the world of inter­na­tional pub­lic street-art.

    Blu sets him­self apart from fel­low graf­fiti artists with his aes­thetic of using black out­lines filled with white paint, often with lit­tle use of color.

    But what inter­ests me most is the way he jux­ta­poses his street art into slightly creepy, but amaz­ing ani­ma­tions. His lat­est video ani­ma­tion, Muto: An Ambigu­ous Ani­ma­tion Painted on Pub­lic Walls, was made in Buenos Aires and Baden.

    Hello ,

    So as the boys write about music , I’m going to write more about well every­thing else ..

    well this post is sort of related to music , as in mem­ory of Serge Gains­bourg ( french dude who sang , father of Char­lotte Gains­bourg ) No Seri­ously , he was a really famous singer-songwriter and i just learned throught my online best­friend wikipedia that he was also an actor and Director .

    Any­way Arnaud Jour­dain , made a video of the dif­fer­ents graf­fi­tis in front of Gainsbourg’s house walls from 2005 to 2009

    And that looks like hard work .. Like every­month going there take a pic­ture at the same place , same posi­tion , with approx­i­ma­tively same light ?

    Check out this trailer for a doc­u­men­tary about the graf­fiti scene in Vietnam,

    “Spray It, Don’t Say It” is pro­duced by The Pro­peller Group, a video pro­duc­tion house based in Saigon.

    ‘Spray It, Don’t Say It’ is an ongo­ing doc­u­men­tary film which began in 2006. This doc­u­men­tary film explores the under­ground graf­fiti scene in Viet­nam and the main char­ac­ters that make up this first gen­er­a­tion of graf­fiti artists in Viet­nam.

    Looks very inter­est­ing, look­ing for­ward to see the final product.
