I recently had the opportunity to speak to BedStuy Walls Mural Festival founder and curator Miki Mu about the hugely successful community arts festival held earlier this month on Lexington Avenue and Do the Right Thing Way in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. This is all so wonderful. What was your initial inspiration for this project? This is my neighborhood. I’ve lived in Bed-Stuy for over ten years. I was interested in celebrating and beautifying my neighborhood. And I know the huge power of art to uplift a community! I also wanted to create a space where people and businesses in my neighborhood could interact. My vision for this particular project began about a year ago. How did you secure these walls? They are in such a prime spot, and these murals have totally transformed the entire block. My neighbor introduced me to the owner of one of the the businesses on the block. But there were many challenges to actually securing these walls. It was not an easy task! What were some

FIRE AT WILL: TIZTA

Image
Name: Tizta-Amatizta Crew: I've been in a couple of crews and I have very good memories, I can't deny it. But sometimes they end because of the members’ different views of life and things that go beyond graffiti. My crew is called KBRS, which means “goats”. In Chile we call groups of young people cabros or cabras, meaning “goats.” There are four of us, three girls and transgender person, and we’ve been friends for over 10 years, before we even started painting graffiti. Not everyone is painting actively, so more than a graffiti crew, we are actually more like a family that shares a love of painting and much more. Country-city: Chile-Santiago. Active since: 2016 First piece: In 2012 I went to live in Buenos Aires, Argentina to study acting at a public university. This is not possible in Chile because we have a system of shitty private universities that end up leaving many young people in debt. By 2016 I began to get closer to graffiti and make my first pieces alone -

Sonny’s ‘Fight or Flight’ Mural is a Special Tribute to the Aplomado Falcon, Downtown Houston 2022

Image
The internationally renowned artist, Sonny Behan, has become most well-known for his majestic and intricate large-scale wildlife murals scattered across the globe. His passion for using his creative voice to raise awareness for important societal and environmental issues has also built him a reputation for being an engaged artist driven by a desire to make an impact. Sonny’s newly completed 10,000 sqft mural, ‘ Fight or Flight , ‘ painted in downtown Houston is a special tribute to the Aplomado Falcon. As apex predators, these already endangered birds are sadly at the top of the list when it comes to species most vulnerable to climate change.  Aplomado  is an unusual Spanish word for “lead-coloured”, referring to the blue-grey areas of the plumage. The birds resemblance in shape to the  hobbies  bird accounts for its old name, orange – chested   hobby. Sonny captures these unique colours in his unique style of abstract elements and washes of colour. “I wanted to de

You don’t have long left to live on this planet, but there is plenty of time left to suffer at the hands of these artists whose dedication to torturing walls and trains knows no bounds. Whether it be through lethal lettering, killer characters or awful abstraction, these unhinged beings live amongst us, living discreet existences during the day before unleashing their evil imaginations by night.

 Extreme warning: the contents of list should only be consumed by human beings with extreme tolerance to disturbing graffiti styles.
