Haifa Street Art.

Haifa Broken Fingaz Studio. (Rudi Khalastchi)




  London's idea's upon street art have previously been highly popularized by Banksy but recently a group of Haifa style street artists have brought its wild Israeli style to the chic London galleries inhabited previously by D*face, JR, and Banksy. The work has been criticized by Governmental bodies saying street art is a form or graffiti and vandalism however the group are young, local artists who are contributing to a changing face of the urban landscape and simultaneously redefining the boundaries of their medium. I love the work and there is no political reasoning for the work it is simply art and the group enjoy speaking about inspiration and their own opinions.

Cinemascapist Photography

  After looking at Gregory Crewdson's work I came across artist Aaron Hobson who uses Google earth to collect images and use them as photographs. I don't know a lot about Aaron Hobson but I am fascinated by the way he uses a complex worldwide system to make this amazing photographs.

Examples of his work: 
 

Route 17, South Africa


Canary Islands, Spain

Prague, Czech Republic

Megatherium - Andre de Freitas

  
  Photographer / Illustrator Freitas is interested mostly in capturing stillness and when drawing he tries to capture illustrations by imagining in fact he is taking a photo of the subject. So by doing this it was his gateway in the photo-graphical world.

 
The most interesting to me were the set of double exposed images; below are a few pieces of his work.
