Roadsworth.


While looking up some info on Amsterdam, I came across the work of Canadian stencil artist Roadsworth (Peter Gibson), and really liked it.  When it comes to something so simple, so raw, and so unique, I knew I had to throw it up.  He’s been doing his thing since 2001, using stencils to adapt the existing road graphics, mainly on the streets of Montreal, initially as a protest against the lack of cycle lanes, but increasingly as a commentary on car culture, oil dependancy and authoritarianism. I’m not sure how successful it is on those counts, but as a way of injecting a little wit and lyricism into the urban landscape, it’s the sh*t.  Check the method, and both of the videos on his work.


Wild Street Graffiti


I’m familiar with ton’s of illustrators and designers who all have different specialties, and who all are extremely good at what they do.  When I see some street graffiti however, I’m reminded that it takes such a different type of skill and love for your craft.  Running the risk of getting arrested for simply expressing yourself is just one of the minor pitfalls of this type of art, climbing to insane heights, venturing into dangerous areas, or risking being mistaken for a thief by police are all things that happen quite often.  This is why it amazes me to know the some people go through that and still manage to display stunning works of art.  Check some of these pieces out below.
