This piece by Saiko in Lleida, Spain, is simply awesome. To see and re-imagine a bridge as an artist holding a spraycan is really cool. Bravo!

I snapped this Bomk character at Meeting of Styles London two years ago (with a little Sowat in the background). Da Mental Vaporz crew smashing it again (http://damentalvaporz.tumblr.com/)! We’re excited about starting to release more of our 70,000 photo archive in the coming months!

Musical Graffiti and Mixcloud’s Artwork Hurdles

Five years ago some friends of mine started a music website. They saved money by looking after a warehouse they rented cheaply, which they also lived and worked in. They started Mixlcoud and since then they’ve kicked bottom. Today they host mixes by the best DJs from all over the World. Well done dudes.

Mixcloud has started an artwork based competition called Artwork Hurdles (check this link) - you can vote for your favourite album art from the site. Its part of their RadiOlympics, which I think should be called the Radiolympic Games but there you go!

This is a good chance for us to post up some music-themed street art and graffiti from the Global Street Art archive. Check it out!

Tizer, Odisy and Aroe in Brighton:

Ears in Melbourne:
Daniel Doebner aka Besok in Amsterdam (I think - it was part of the Kosmopolitie art tour).
An unknown artist’s Hendrix in Buenos Aires
From Lakeside in Essex, next to a piece by Cry (so maybe the character is Cry also?)
El Nino de las Pinturas, aka Sex, from Granada.

Smiling Bag Productions in Israel, possibly connected to Funk 25.
I should know this but I don’t! Therefore, unknown artist, from near Kreuzberg in Berlin.
Unknown in Brazil…when we launch the main website it’ll be easier to help us credit artists!
From Faro in Portugal, possibly by FSHC crew (Faro Styles Hardcore)
Melbourne Elvis!
One of my favourite characters from Meeting of Styles Portugal, from Seixal near Lisbon. The asteroid crashing into the planet makes a superb effect. The sign on the right says “laugh now but one day you’ll be extinct.” For more information on the MOS international events check out www.wallstreetmeeting.de.

A massive A-Z alphabet mural with cartoon characters. This was painted at the Meeting of Styles (MOS) 2010 Germany event in Mainz-Kastel. MOS has been held in over 20 countries and there are jams in lots of countries each year. To find out more about this great international graffiti festival check out: http://wallstreetmeeting.de.
