Streets: Phlegm (USA)

Posted by SAL, September 16, 2013

After participating in couple of street art festivals all over Europe, British muralist and artist Phlegm recently visited the East Coast of US. During his visit, he painted three huge murals, each quite different than the others, but all so recognizable and unique. The first one he did was in collaboration with the Bushwick Collective, on Troutman Street in Brooklyn. This image shows a huge giraffe that birds are using as a hideout from poachers that are catching them. Existing tags on the building were cleverly […]

This year’s Nuart Festival (see previous years) officially opened this weekend and we have a plethora of new street pieces to share with you.
