Jarhead – Thought-Provoking Street Art by Blu

Hyathiz Concept Art 2 Comments

His real name may be a tightly kept secret, but Blu has a rather long Wikipedia article devoted to him. Blue is the pseudonym of the elusive yet extremely talented Italian street artist whose characteristic style began appearing in the walls of Bologna in 1999. Like so many street artists, spray paint was his first medium of choice, but as the years and his style progressed, he began using housepaint and rollers mounted on telescopic sticks. Nowadays, he has filled the sides of entire buildings with his clever and slightly political works of art. He is also a digital whiz who has created a great number of animations and videos. Wikipedia describes his inspiration as “…motivated by a belief in an open source philosophy, persistent in its anarchical revolt against contemporary art conventions and unique in beauty.”

I love my dogs, reading books, and taking great pictures with my battered but still functional digital camera. Taking great pictures with a high end camera is almost too easy, producing fantastic images with an outdated one is an accomplishment by itself.
