“Good design is universal. It speaks to people regardless of their language or cultural origin. Good design is a steady breath of air. Not too fast and not too slow. ”

TWTH Atelier logos and lettering by BMD.
“Despite what graffiti writers who view him as a sellout would have you believe, Banksy is nothing if not an artist of the people. His work widely appeals to the public, and it also plays with the community in subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways. Watching the entire month-long residency unfold in about an hour’s time, it becomes clear that the stencils left on buildings were just the beginning of what he intended to create. ”
Read the ArtNet review of HBO’s ‘Banksy Does New York’ documentary.
Digital Vomit, paintings by Alberto Seveso.
“Digital Vomit is an ongoing project. The idea behind everything is to create unique artworks by using an inkjet printer and some tricks.”

Literary Graffiti is Wonderful
Literary graffiti, enough said. Street artists like Banksy and Kobra are driven by political statements and much like them, these graffiti pieces are powerful and eye opening. Not to mention, great quotes that simply summarize their respective novels.
Sidenote: I wish I had seen this in high school-I would’ve consulted these instead of Spark Notes! At least now I can appreciate these pieces, after reading and understanding the brilliance of Orwell and Vonnegut.
My particular favorites are “Alice in Wonderland”, “1984”, and “The Crying Lot of 49”. These are great examples of statements without words and I love anything visual like these.
