Last week this was a Exotic Car Blog, this week its a graffiti blog...And giving that I LOOOOVE Graffiti i have some input, hes not a big name artist like Banksy or Shepard Fairly, But hes a guy i know named ELMER. Elmer is someone i knew from when i lived in Michigan, and i have watched him slowly become one of the biggest artists in Detroit. Heres some of his pieces and Dont tell me this isnt art!

Great Photo

This guy got pretty nice photo. You can check his videos of the images on his YouTube User here

Underwater Hotel

I thought this was really awesome in the next couple of years they are going to be building a underwater hotel in Dubai.

Feelin' Blue

Okay, so how many people ever thought "Hey, I think I'm going to make art with blueprint!" probably not many people... Okay, now how many people thought "I'm going to make 3-D Graffiti with blueprint!" probably no one.... except this guy of course and it is amazing

Obey

Graffiti seems to be a hot topic at this point in time, and my favorit artest in Obey. He lives here in the US and travels around the world putting his designs up on any wall possible. He works mostly in stickers and posters.

King Robbo

I noticed someone posted about Banksy, so i thought I'd post something for King Robbo, a graffiti artist who was a bit before Banksy's time. Robbo is famous for managing to throw his tag up in impossible places. The photo above is actually one of Robbo's oldest pieces, which was touched up by Banksy after a 2 year feud between the two artists. Unlike Banksy, Robbo did not use stencils, everything was freehand.

Nice composition

I like how this makes him look like he's actually in there and the optical lights on the piller walls.

Dayglow

How fun would it be to go to a huge party where paint is just being thrown everywhere? Where you become the canvas to be painted upon. Well Dayglow is coming to Cincinnati on April 20th on the Bank Arena.

Banksy

Banksy is a Graffiti artist who incorporates changing the world for the better in his art. Some people even cut his artwork out of walls and sell it. Check him out. He's awesome.

Glass Snowboard

A glass snowboard, which is a great idea

Thrift Shop Music Video

Check out the link to the Thrift Shop Music Video created by Tristen Nosak, Sam Huber, and I.

Furr

Since us juniorrsss are finishing with music videos I thought I would sure this really cool video made by Blitzen Trapper for their song "Furr".  I love the song and the music video they made is suppa cool

Let Me Tell You About Homestuck

Through the use of Digital paintings, gif images, and flash animations, Andrew Hussie has created one of the longest running webcomics in Internet history. (over 5,700 pages so far, with no end in sight) Through its' own creative and quirky style, homestuck tells the story of four kids who start the end of the world with an online game. . .Okay there's more to it than that, so you'll just have to read it for yourself. Apart from it's unique art style, it offers a little bit of something for everyone, regardless of their interests.

Kittens make good actors?

This video is pretty interesting, cool way of putting miniatures as well as using cats as the main subject for your video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTaXI9LUugc  

3Doodler

I'm sure by now, everyone has heard about this, but it is still awesome! It takes 3D printing to the next level, by incorporating the technology into a pen. Simply by lifting the pen away from the paper, the "3Doodler" allows you to create 3D items and/or sculptures. Check it out here.

Simon's Cat

Check out this funny animated cartoon series called Simon's Cat by British animator Simon Tofield featuring a hungry house cat who uses increasingly heavy-handed tactics to get its owner to feed it.   The official Simon's Cat YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/simonscat?feature=watch If you want to check out more about Simon's Cat you can vists his website: http://www.simonscat.com

How It Feels [through Glass]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1uyQZNg2vE This is Glass. Technology is getting better and better! Check this out!
Art that thrills, painting and sculptures are amazing but what's the point if all you can do is look at it...  This is why cars like the 670HP Lamborghini Murcielago are built. To some people, the dumb ones... this is just a car, but after looking close you can see this is art, art that will show you the biggest thrill of your life.

In one ear out the nose.

The perks of photoshop and the trickery you can play on people.
This is a really detailed, and impressive graphic design of a car.
very cool 3d street chalk art. in order to get the 3d effect you have to be standing in the right angle. there are many cool 3d chalk art out there, and i would strongly suggest checking them out if youve never seen them before. the image above is my favorite however because it uses the whole street instead of a small area

Doodle for Google

This is a cool music themed doodle for Google example.

Photography

This is a photo I took at the very beginning of the school year and it is definitely one of my favorites.

A cool video of a complicated work of thread that brings people together in more way than one. Ann Hamilton's exhibit is truly one of a kind (even though it's done now) but it's really cool check it out. vimeo.com/57463725

Paperman

This was a Disney animated short that has been released since its debut in theaters. What's visually interesting about this short is that it's a mixture between 3D animation and 2D animation, all on grayscale except for key colors (red). Oh, and it's absolutely the cutest thing ever <3 Perfect for Valentine's Day!  Enjoy :)
Not really relevant to anything but i can imagine how hard it was to sync all of this together...
