Love me

I do. Saw this in the East Village and it really stood out (also saw it at some other spots in the city). It’s done by an artist called Curtis Kulig. I found a article about him online over at Fecal Face with some nice pictures and a quote:

LOVE ME is a take on graffiti. Graff is a selfish act where the writer wants to be seen whether people want to see it or not. LOVE ME is an honest expression of love but also a sarcastic “fuck you” to the haters. I’m sort of a hypocrite and I know it. I want to be seen and heard and loved. Oh well. Most tags are serious and the graff culture so hardcore, LOVE ME is ironic, and kinda pussy, that’s what I like about it, the pussy part. But it’s me, I’m a lover not a fighter. I go out and do shit, make it happen, and that’s what I do with LOVE ME. I just fuckin’ do it, and people seem to be down with it.” – Curtis

Rabbits for Easter

Last year Uno and I put up these ears and eyes on the rubbish bins in Cape Town, South Africa. It happened to be Easter that weekend. It’s just taken me a really long time to put these up on the blog. Hope you like them.

Little Alien

This is exactly the type of art that makes me very happy.

Done by artists Job Willemsen and Tom v.d. Hurk in Holland.

Perfect Flowers

Really like what Posterchild did with some flowers in Toronto.

Great way to make use of unwanted space and make something beautiful of it!
