Upper Playground

Upper Playground is a website that produces short video interviews with street artists from all over the world. The features are interesting and very well done. In addition to the features the site also promotes artist and has even participated in the creation of some projects. Radical website for anyone interested in art. 

WOOSTER COLLECTIVE

The Wooster Collective was founded in 2001. The site is dedicated to showcasing and celebrating ephemeral art placed on streets in cities around the world. The site offers regular updates to a growing number of street artists around the world. Not only does it keep up with well known artists such as Blu and Banksy it does an incredible job of finding and introducing artists that may not have had much publicity or commercial success. One of my favorite web sites to check in on and has introduced me to most of my current favorite artists. Right now I am really digging an artist who works under the name Faile. To give you an Idea of his work I have posted some thumbs of prints he has for sale at his website.

Faile

My Eyes

Each day it started in the same place in the same way. It emerged from a covering where it had been lying dormant to pull on a different pair of covers. One cover was for its’ top half and the other was for the bottom half. It would tie its’ head to it’s body and be off down the path it followed each day. It would stop to refill on the same liquid and the same solid from the same place then continue along its path. Once it arrived at its next place, it made motions that consisted mostly of poking things and moving pieces of things from one place to another almost identical place. Abruptly at the same time each day it would quit making those motions and return to the place it had started. Only now, it would complete each task in the reverse it had done them the first time.
