Brooklyn Street Art photographer Jamie Rojo put together a video of some of 2011’s standout street art and graffiti pieces from around the country. Definitely worth a look, the video features prominent Living Walls artists like Swampy, Gaia and ROA among others.



Atlanta-based artist Evereman has been leaving his geometric-faced character around Atlanta for years, but he has recently experimented with new mediums to spread his character throughout the city. As opposed to the usual Evereman characters made from stickers, wood blocks complete with magnets, and metal; Evereman has opted for using projectors to broadcast his character onto walls around the city. Check out a video of these projections here.
