“Signs, Fines & Cheap Wines” fits the character of Barcelona-based street artist Max “RIPO” Rippon. It’s the title of his upcoming show at White Walls gallery, and though we hope the artist doesn’t encounter the infamous fines that accompany the street art lifestyle, there will be plenty of signs and cheap wine. His tongue-and-cheek take on typography and text-based art clearly translated well to his large-scale pieces, pictured below, which he crafted mostly from found wood, metal, glass, stone and plastic.
Now more than ever you have an excuse to do something touristy like visiting the Seattle Space Needle. Your reason being, so you can catch a view of Marlin Peterson’s newest spider mural located on roof in close proximity. The mural was commissioned by the Washington State Parks commission and painted on the roof the Seattle State Armory. Peterson chose to paint the roof after unsuccessfully trying to find a wall that would be size appropriate for his eight-legged arachnids. The artist’s shadow is what really gives the piece depth and brings the spiders to life.
I took a wander through Leake Street tunnel in London a few weeks ago. Took some pictures that I keep meaning to upload. I'll try and get on to that, place was amazing.
