Art/Graffiti: Abstract Wall By Poseia And Friends…
Here’s a cool high-res (click for the big version) image of an abstract piece done by Poseia, Joker, Kofie, Roughe, Codak, Kema, and Dial. Not usually my favorite style (I’m more of a ‘traditional’ letters and characters fan), but this has got some really dope elements. It’s like the new-school take on the Futura style of the 80’s.
*thx to Berd for the image.

Art: Off The Wall – Doze Green…
Via email (Berd):
“Love this guy … All way back from Style Wars to his current shit.”
Info from friendswelove.com: It’s with great pleasure that we present this studio visit with the man, the myth, the legend…Doze Green. Besides being one of our favorite artists for the longest, he is now also one of our favorite humans.
Long story short, the man knows how to have a good time! But more importantly, he does so while inspiring everyone around him in the process.
In this episode of OFF THE WALL we simply feature Doze and his assistant Ian doing what they do best, paint and have fun. No interviews. No reasons. No justifications. Just a creative process. Enjoy…
Many thanks to Doze Green, Ian Kuali’i, Jonathan LeVine and especially Maléna Seldin for all the love and support in making this episode of OFF THE WALL a reality.

Wanna learn to bust out with some 3D graffiti? Just watch this and you’ll be ready to bust:
Done? Easy, right? Now just go to your local dilapidated building and bust one out on your own. You might wanna throw several years of practice drawing on paper, and another several years using a can of spray paint experience under your belt before attempting this. You don’t want to pull a hammy out there…

1 commentArt: Japan Gets Funky With Rice Paddy Art…
Japanese crop circles? Nope, check out this cool time-lapse video of giant rice paddy art that was done in Japan:
More info: Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan. But this is no alien creation – the designs have been cleverly planted. Farmers creating the huge displays use no ink or dye. Instead, different color’s of rice plants have been precisely and strategically arranged and grown in the paddy fields. As summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge.
The largest and finest work is grown in the Aomori village of Inakadate, 600 miles north of Tokyo, where the tradition began in 1993. The village has now earned a reputation for its agricultural artistry and this year the enormous pictures of Napoleon and a Sengoku-period warrior, both on horseback, are visible in a pair of fields adjacent to the town hall. More than 150,000 vistors come to Inakadate, where just 8,700 people live, every summer to see the extraordinary murals.
Each year hundreds of volunteers and villagers plant four different varieties of rice in late May across huge swathes of paddy fields.
Napolean on horseback can be seen from the skies, created by precision planting and months of planning between villagers and farmers in Inkadate.
Smaller works of crop art can be seen in other rice-farming areas of Japan such as this image of Doraemon and deer dancers.
The farmers create the murals by planting little purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed tsugaru roman variety to create the colored patterns between planting and harvesting in September.
The murals in Inakadate cover 15,000 square meters of paddy fields. From ground level, the designs are invisible, and viewers have to climb the mock castle tower of the village office to get a glimpse of the work.
Rice-paddy art was started there in 1993 as a local revitalization project, an idea that grew out of meetings of the village committee. In the first nine years, the village office workers and local farmers grew a simple design of Mount Iwaki every year. But their ideas grew more complicated and attracted more attention. In 2005 agreements between landowners allowed the creation of enormous rice paddy art. A year later, organizers used computers to precisely plot planting of the four differently colored rice varieties that bring the images to life.

We’ve posted about lasers on buildings before, (here for example) …here’s a new’n:
Some of these effects are friggin awesome. I’ve read several online opinions that debate back and forth whether this is real or fake. I’m not sure who is right, but if it’s real, I’d love to see this kinda thing in real life. Sh!t looks dope.
