Graffyard

Once again combining 2 of my favourite things, street art and QR codes!

Berlin based artist Sweza is preserving graffiti with QR codes. Check out this video:

Or check out his website here.

I think it is an awesome idea, we lose so much amazing artwork thanks to graffiti clean up squads, I would love to implement this in NZ, that'd be awesome.

Auckland Walking

Wandering Ponsonby Rd the other day I spotted this little lady:

This little cherub was in the same locale back in April, and they have a similar feel to them. Same artist perhaps?

Then, went to Racket Bar (there was a good reason - it wasn't really voluntary) and used Agents and Merchants bathrooms which had nice little stencils on the doors:

Sorry about the quality - cell phone camera.

To be honest - I didn't think that these really fit within the decor of the rest of the place, but whatever, their choice. Nice to see.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

So, I went to see Exit Through the Gift Shop (finally) on Sunday and it really was everything I expected and more.

I spied this lovely little piece of guerilla advertising a few weeks back - advertising and stencil art, talk about mashing 2 of my favourite things together:

At any rate, I thought the movie was awesome. Directed by Banksy and about the almost overnight eruption of Mr Brainwash. There is a lot of speculation as to the truth behind this movie, but either way, it is worthwhile just checking out just to see all of the amazing work that they cover.

Warrior of Words

This was odd and I didn't have time to read it properly.

They may be a warrior of words but they're not very courageous in their placement. It was well hidden down a back street - so much so I can't remember where it is...

Wellington Weekend

Lovely few pieces I found during a flying visit to Wellington on the weekend.

Scissors on a blacked out wall at the top of the Dixon St steps

Edward Street
BEAR! Just around the corner from Watusi on Edward St
And this guy was just down the road from Maranui Surf Cafe
Love you Wellington. I'm sorry I didn't have longer to check out all the usual spots.

Looky here

What a tasty treat to find on my way home today:

Amazing eyes pasted onto a building just off Ponsonby Road.

No claim or signature, no idea who did it, but I like it a lot.
