Animated character designer Phil Postma created this series of imaginary Star Wars action figures cards after he saw an image of an R2-D2 action figure that looked like a tiny spray can.
I love the graffiti art style of the images, and think it would be awesome if they actually made a Star Wars animated series with this look.
I’d also like Phil to come to my neighborhood and spray this on one of the buildings:
Be sure to head over to Phil’s blog to check out more images from his Star Wars street art series – and lots of other awesome art.

Even if you’ve never heard of INSA, you’ve probably seen his work—the British street artist has designed signature collections for everyone from Nike to Kid Robot. But his latest work is a little bit more immortal: INSA’s making GIFs.

These days street art has become more popular, and has many more fans than it used to. You can thank Banksy and some other artists for that. And now that it is more accepted, it seems like the installations just keep getting bigger and bigger. Take this gas station for instance.
This incredibly colorful piece of art is in Limerick City, Ireland. Street artist Maser took an abandoned gas station and turned it into a loud and very eye catching public art installation. Even the cars are candy striped.This piece is entitled “No.27- A Nod To Ed Ruscha”. Edward Joseph Ruscha is an American artist associated with the Pop art movement, who is well known for his book Twentysix Gas Stations, so the gas station locale makes sense.
I’ll let the artist explain more about his motivations.:
I converted a derelict petrol station in Limerick city into an interactive installation, as part of a transformative urban art project. My work often boldly juxtaposes old and new, past and present in the architectural elements, the visual grammar and choice of pallet. I hope to create work that surprises people and questions their relationship with the familiar and the norm and also how dissociated we are from the space around us.
I bet this piece is already quite the tourist attraction.

Last week, as New York City suffered through blistering cold temperatures, 43 street artists were secretly painting three entire floors of a soon-to-be-demolished apartment building. We got to visit during an exclusive, two-hour show on Friday night.

You might have heard of NeverWet when it was first launched. It’s basically a waterproofing spray that repels liquids so you can keep your stuff dry.
That’s the spray’s intended use, but Home Depot community members Nathan Sharratt and Dana0814 came up with an extremely creative way to use it.
Armed with stencils and a couple of cans of NeverWet, they set out to create street art while taking full advantage of the spray’s hydrophobic qualities. Their art only appears when it rains, because it’s the only part of the street that stays dry during a downpour.

Unlike grown-ups who’ve had their wildest creative impulses edited, judged, and generally tamped down for years, kids are pretty fearless when it comes to facing down a blank page. Wielding crayons with reckless abandon ain’t no thang for the little ‘uns, but a bit of artistic guidance can be fun, too.
