Etoiles Urbaines

Meh, so much for my one post a week rule. It'll probably become more like once a week when I get back to work and studying etc. I just couldn't help myself though...here is another Fafi related video that I found whilst traipsing around on YouTube - this time there are lots of other artists featured as well, including Microbo, which some people may have heard of. If not, go check her out, she's very kool.



I first found out about Microbo and Blu (from my previous post) in the Street Sketchbook by Tristan Manco. I was given it for Christmas by some people who knew I was into Banksy and the whole Street Art scene; it's a really good book, and has some great, almost secret drawings that most people would never have seen had the artists not been so generous as to show off their private sketches and doodles and bare their notebook souls in the book.


I keep getting the " and @ buttons mixed up on this computer. I miss my work Mac so much *_* !

Blu, Fafi and Pride and Prejudice

Okay, so welcome back! For my first post - after the intro one, I don't think that one really counts as a first post - I thought I'd put up some vids I found on my interweb searches in the world of graffiti. The vid is called "Muto" and is done by Blu, a very kool street artist who I think is from Italy. It's kinda old (well, only a few months, but in internet terms, that's pretty darn ancient) but I really liked it when I first found it and thought I'd share it anyway. Talk about dedication! I can't tell if the graff is animated or he actually did it all:



Another good one is this: This one is of Fafi, a french (Parisian?) street artist who's done some stuff for Adidas and LeSportsac, among other fab works. She's very talented and deserves some love, so go check her out; a link to her site.

I've been watching the BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" for the first time, and it's pretty good :). I've seen the film lots of times, so I know the story and everything. But Colin Firth IS Mr Darcy. Squeee! He's so adorable. What with all his brooding and smouldering eyes *takes a deep breath*...okay, fangirl moment over.
