A Swarm Of Magnetic Blue Butterflies: Unique Art In Public Spaces
I remember several years ago when we first started writing about decorative art in public spaces. It was almost always art with a hard edge to it, like graffiti or other controversial art.

Street art has evolved so much over the past decade. I remember back when it was associated with vandalism and ugly, territorial graffiti.

Icans: Character Icons Redesigned Be He Can (Eat It SOPA)
You can kinda tell when you look at these redesigned pop culture icons that artist Alex Pardee was inspired by his years of watching horror movies and writing graffiti. To this day, he likes to cover just about any surface with his bizarre characters.

Pointillism: The New Edge Of Graffiti Design

If I am not mistaken, we have touched on this subject before when it comes to graffiti artists.

Drive-By Stencil Technology Makes Graffiti Art Fun & Fast
I think it's cute that the Looptaggr creators, Ariel Schlesinger and Aram Bartholl, are calling this "stencil technology" when it's really a DIY homemade "fast as hell" graffiti tagger. I haven't written an article about graffiti in a very long time because it's one of those activities that's kinda ...
Mosquitoes Crash Into Billboards and Create Artwork!
I live in Atlanta, Georgia and wow... the mosquitoes here are legendary. Often called Tiger mosquitoes because they are so huge, they attack with no mercy. Last night, I was outside throwing the football with @toad_mario, and in the first five minutes, I had at least ten bites.
