French Artist Blek Le Rat, 30 Years Later

A interesting video of Blek Le Rat discussing being a French artist in the United States. Blek was one of the first street artists to spray paint with stencils and is seen as the “godfather of street art” to some. His rat image was used long before the London based artist Banksy came around.

Alec in Los Angeles, Wheat Paste on Building

You can't drive around Hollywood without seeing the work of one of LA's top street artists, Alec. Here's a rare picture from on top of the building that Alec put up this massive wheat poster. There is also some red paint dripping as well.

Cope 2 and Mr. Brainwash collaboration

The world-famous graffiti writer Cope 2 did this collaboration with Mr. Brainwash on MBW’s studio front wall. Cope spray-painted his famoud bubble letters while Mr. Brainwash added his touch using a large wheat pasted image with paint in their message. All that is left now is the boys spraying.
