Graffiti featuring standalone gaming icons is cool and all, but I especially love when they’re mixed in with letterstyles. This awesomeness is magnified when you add light painting to the mix, as can be seen by this Pikachu pic uploaded by Charles Massengill. 
So, I was browsing the internets today in search of something fresh to feature for Daily Graffiti when I stumbled onto an awesome world that I’d never heard of before: the world of Lego graffiti. There’s a Flickr group called Urban Culture and Lego and it’s filled with pictures of truly amazing Lego art paying homage to one of the 4 pillars of hip hop.

Spotted this fresh Lego Grim Reaper graffit by Drop over on Flickr. Love the splattery effect towards the bottom. Here’s a full pic. I highly recommend you check the hi-res version here.
Just because graffiti is illegal doesn’t mean companies aren’t able to cash in on the art-form. Case in point: the Dripstick mop from Molotow. Molotow has actually been in the graffiti supply game for a while, but this is their first mop. For $3.95 you can get a thin 10mm mop, or for $4.25 you can go up to 25mm for fat, drippy strokes. I remember when I had to make my own mops out of shoe polish, paint, paint thinner, and a marble (to mix the paint with the thinner when you shake). Man, things have come a long way.
GameBoyOne is at it again with the fresh pixelfiti. This time he’s done up some Slimes from the Dragon Quest RPG series.
My friend and mega-talented graffiti artist ABOVE recently emailed me with pics and info about a piece he just did in Cuba. Rather than just re-word everything, I figured I’d just share the email in its entirety.
HELP THY NEIGHBOR from ABOVE on Vimeo. Another awesome piece from a truly talented artist. If you haven’t done anything to help out with the crisis in Haiti, please get involved! Even if it means donating a dollar or a few cents.
Jared Newman from GamerCrave.com got in touch with me about a week or so ago letting me know how much he likes Albotas and he even asked if I’d be willing to do a guest blog over on GamerCrave and of course I said yes! GamerCrave is part of the uCrave network and they feature some truly awesome sites like StyleCrave, DesignCrave, and GadgetCrave, so it’s truly an honor. Exciting, no? I’ve rounded up some of my favorite pieces of geek graffiti from the Daily Graffiti Archives into a collection, so head on over to GamerCrave.com and check it out! Be sure to Digg, Stumble, Reddit, retweet, and whatever else you crazy kids do with links these days. One more reason for me to want an iPhone.
Thanks to SharpSHOEter for tweeting this in!
Somebody somewhere in France did this graffiti of Silvia from the Viewtiful Joe games. It’s not the greatest piece, but it’s the only other Viewtiful Joe street art I’ve ever seen other than this. Those games were so good. They need to hurry up and make a freaking sequel already. Hideki Kamiya, Viewtiful Joe’s creator (and creator of Bayonetta) has already stated that he’d like to back to the Joe series. Make it happen!
Don Schwabs aka the dude who made the Scribblenauts Munny aka the greatest Albotian who ever lived took this pic of some Nintendo inspired graffiti that he spotted near a train station. Fucking awesome find, dude! I love the little mean face on the cartridge. Is there any awesome graffiti in your neck of the woods? Why not send it in to brownkidd@albotas.com to be featured on Daily Graffiti? Seriously, stop keeping all the good graffiti to yourselves, you selfish bastards. |
