OakOak’s Street Art Interventions

[changeling67]

Amazing artist OakOak creates hilarious, imaginative, irreverent and sometimes a little macabre street work that has filled column inches from BBC Brazil to Beijing’s biggest daily newspaper. Daubing simple graffiti and paintings on urban features – often the broken ones – OakOak tries to do what street artists do best: amuse and inspire people of all ages and demographics by appropriating the city’s less appealing elements.

I think people who dislike graffiti are more likely to respond well to incidental or micro-graffiti because it is well-executed or well thought-out.  I do however, love the 'Sideshow Bob' piece.

He's Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant... and his humour!!! I just DIED seeing Gonzo!!! and that OUCH pole through the eye... oh I'm going to follow him! Bless you, you DO find some treasures!!!

I shall look at cracks in walls, and bunches of stray flowers in walls with a different eye now! So MUCH to 'read' into just a daily 'thing'.

Bless you... You do make me happy you do!!!

I love that stuff too - but then again, I have a higher tolerance to graffiti than most, especially if it is good graffiti.
