Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
The Cans Festival was Banksy’s street art event that took place in London a few months back.
Now, there’s an official time-lapse video of the festival coming together, and it’s a fantastic look at some alternative art coming together and taking shape.

Niko Bellic is a pretty realistic character in Grand Theft Auto IV to begin with, so Pixeloo’s latest untoon isn’t quite as impressive as the last few, but regardless, he’s got more skill in his little pinky than I have in the entire Photoshop part of my brain, so check out his latest work and prepare to be amazed once again.
What would the Team look like if they invaded the Fortress with a little more femin and a little less mascul at the beginning of their ine?
Deviant Artist *ghostfire’s rendition is probably a pretty good guess…
Despite the improved visuals, I’m guessing that if these characters took over, people would start playing the game for all the wrong reasons.

Modofly is an artist collaborative that hopes to “inspire artists and users alike with the hope that they themselves will be continually fueled by the feedback loop that happens when people work together”.
Their laser-etched Moleskin notebook line features fantastic covers that have been designed by top artists, and then laser-etched onto the outside to help fuel your creativity.
Since artists mostly fueled the Moleskin revolution anyways, why not just get one that makes the outside look as good as the creativity trapped inside?

Michael Neff’s Chalk series is a terrific idea in which he outlines various objects’ shadows in chalk, and then photographs them at night, giving each shadow an odd, sort of radiating glow.
So far, cities that he’s done this in include New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and a small town in Oregon, and the series is ongoing, so he has plans for more in the future.

Chad Pugh’s Science Machine is a beautiful piece of art that was created using Adobe Illustrator over a 40-hour time frame (double that if you add in concept time and readying the print).
During that time, Chad has his computer set up to take a screenshot every five seconds so that you can follow along from beginning to end though a time lapse as this piece comes to life:

Threadless has just announced a new item in their lineup called Prints, and if you’re looking for some fantastic t-shirt inspired art, definitely check it out.
Each Monday, they’re going to release three brand new screen-printed, hand numbered art prints in super limited editions of two-hundred and fifty, and once they’re gone they’re gone.

Donald Soffritti likes to draw cartoons of what superheroes would look like after they retired and moved to Florida.
I guess even the mighty must fall eventually.

Blu’s Muto “Wall Painted Animation” has been making the rounds recently, and for good reason. It’s a fantastic stop motion piece that was done on public space, and highlights the talent and the art behind street art.
According to Blu, it’s “an ambiguous animation painted on public walls”, and it was made in Buenos Aires and Baden.

Remember Jason Freeny’s “Pneumatic Anatomica”?
Well he’s back, and this time, his art dives into the insides of a gummy bear and a Dunny, in pieces he calls “Immaculate Confection” and “Visible Vinyl”.
I emailed Jason to find out a little bit more about his work, and asked him, “What inspires you to create these amazing pieces of art?”
He replied:
Sounds like one down to earth dude!
Who knew the inanimate could be so interesting?
