Get street-art smart

It’s a 60-minute news-style show that dishes on all things technology, computers, gadgets and video games, with a dash of wit, a sprinkle of comedy and a couple of hot hosts to garnish it off. It’s basically everything you’ve already read on the blogs today, compacted and humor-fied for TV. Nonetheless, it’s a very entertaining show with a kick-ass Web site to boot, and I seem to always get some really surfable and share-worthy links after each episode.
After last night’s Blog Watch segment on street artists around the world, I looked them all up and found some awesome stuff I wanted to share. So if you’re into stuff like grassroots artists making a statement by creating beautiful peices of art out in public for everyone to enjoy, or just appreciate utter coolness, check these out…
Banksy
A graffiti / stencil street artist from the UK who challenges society and politics using his artwork.
Rinpa Eshidan
A group of performance artists from Japan who treat their paintings and pieces as ever-evolving living things. They’re known for their time-lapse videos of themselves repainting a single space several times over.
