Day 303 - Creative and funny: Inflatable street art

Street art? Yes, we see that a lot.

Day 289 - Better out than in: daily artwork in the streets of New York City by Banksy

In today's newspaper I read an article about Banksy.

Banksy is a graffity artist who designs - paints - builds - ... -  every day an artwork in the streets of New York City. Nobody knows who he, but a lot of people know his work.

On his website, Banksy comments his pieces of street art:

Here are two of his artworks.

Day 284 - Graphic design: street art, Eye, Amsterdam

Yesterday, I was in Amsterdam. I started my visit at the Eye Film Museum. One of my favorite places in Amsterdam.

The sky was cloudy, it rained now and then. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to take a lot of of photo's. When I walked around the building, I saw this piece of  'street art'.

Someone wrote 'ik herhaal ik herhaal ik herhaal...' with chalk on the pavement. 'Ik herhaal' means 'I repeat'. It was repeated at least thirty times....

Day 268 - Street art: Love locks in New York City

Today I read an article on love locks in a Dutch newspaper.

It said that the locks on one of the most famous bridges, the Pont des Arts, in Paris will be removed. Too bad, I really love this bridge, the locks and all the people that go to the bridge when visiting Paris.

Last summer I spend a week in New York. And I visited Brooklyn Bridge. When walking over the bridge, I suddenly discovered these love locks. Not as many as in Paris, but still very romantic...

Day 254 - Color burst: Rainbows

Yesterday I told you about the rainbow stairs. All these colors make me so happy.
So I browsed the internet and decided to show you more of these colorful projects.

Day 253 - Burst of color: Rainbow stairs appear all over Turkey

The first rainbow stairs were painted by Huseyin Cetinel. His aim was 'to make people smile'.

Unfortunately, the authorities did not like Cetinel's project and they repainted the stairs with grey paint.
This was the starting point for activists all over the country to paint stairs in rainbow colors. From the East to the West, form the North to the South, there are rainbow stairs all over the country as a sign of anti-government protests.

Day 232 - Graphic design with a Carribean touch (2)

At Key West, graphic design has a Carribean touch. I really loved the displays: sometimes retro, sometimes Carribean.

I made a lot of photo's with my Nikon. Unfortunately, I have no computer at the moment. So I can only show you some photo's I made with my IPhone... 

Hope you like them ;-)

Day 147 - Street art project New York: Mark This Town

Art is not only found in the museums, but also in the streets.

In New York there is street art project that is called  Make This Town:


"Cities, especially New York is full of mayhem. People are busy with their routines. But there is something in the New York spirit that inspires people to stop for musicians, performance art and flash mobs. Pausing to appreciate the smaller moments — a clever sticker in the subway, or an inspiring quote on the wall of a building — makes our day. We want to create that feeling for you.
But we can’t do it alone. Submit the statements you want marked in this town."

Visit the website, submit your statement and hope that yours will be selected.

Day 93 - My very own little people project

In 2006 Slinkachu, a British photographer, started his project 'little people':
a tiny street art project. 

Below you see the results of one of his recent installations: Hide and Seek.

As I admire his work a lot, it inspired me to create my own little people project.
Tomorrow, I will show you some of my own pics.

Day 79 - The Berlin Wall (2) - monument of freedom and art

In Berlin remains of the wall cannot only be seen at the East Side Gallery.

Remains of the wall can also be seen at Checkpoint Charlie and the Potsdamer Platz.
At the Potsdamer Platz the remains are covered with graffiti which turns them in
'art' pieces.

Underneath two photos I took myself at the Potsdamer Platz.

The NDSM wharf in Amsterdam is an eldorado for graffiti artists. 

The former hangars, with their large brick walls, are ideal backgrounds.

Day 47 - Little people by Slinkachu

He takes his tiny people everywhere, builds street installations and photographes the scenes.

Here are a few of his beautiful photos.

Day 18 - Before I die I want to....

It was Candy Chang who posed this question. She painted a wall in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with a grid of the sentence 'Before I die I wan to...'

The experiment was very successful. People who walked by wrote down their thoughts,
wishes and aspirations.

The experiment has been repeated at different places, in different countries,
among which the library in Oss, In the Netherlands. And again it is a success:
many visitors of the library, adults and children, write down their reflections.
