Anyone here into street art? Like wheat-pastes and other odd forms of street art?

I was into graffiti as teenager, but over the last year or so I've gotten into the street art scene(wheat-pasting in particular) through a good friend of mine.

There's a lot of really cool stuff out here in the city. Here are some examples of what I'm talking about :












These last four are my friend's work:













Here are some links to NYC Street Art sites if anyone's interested:

I love guerilla or street art. Those are nice photos. When I was younger, I did a lot of wheat pasting. Glad it's a technique still being used. When done right, you can practically shellac a piece of paper using this watery mix.

Have to be honest - while I do appreciate the artistic talent, graffiti makes my neighborhood looks trashy and unkempt.

cop it quick once it goes out of stock we're done printing that design. It's the 2nd design of the NAH SON logo, the original one read straight across like below, can't see it well but it's a cross chest design. I can tell you Spring, Summer, Fall 2010 do not have reprints of the NAHSON, I think we might only redo the beanies for the winter and maybe a crew neck, the t-shirt is one of the most popular ones we made, that and the NY Don't Sleep, and the Peace NYC shirts are the best sellers. The Peace NYC shirt will be out in the Spring/Summer line which is dropping in a week or two, our printer is mad slow right now.
