Miniature Apartment Street Art by Evol

Evol is a German artist currently living and working in Berlin. Born in Heilbronn, Germany, he attended the Kuopio Academy of Arts and Crafts in Finland and has a degree in product design from HFG Schwäbisch Gmünd in Germany. Evol has had solo exhibits in Germany, Belgium, China and the United States.
While his gallery work includes installations and paintings on cardboard, his work in the streets primarily centers around apartment buildings. Using a layered stencil technique, Evol transforms the unlikeliest of mediums into the outside of mundane, everyday apartment buildings. There’s depth to his artwork and they are so realistic you may catch yourself wondering if there are little people in each of the units going about their lives.

To see more of Evol’s work, be sure to check him out on Flickr. You can also find him on his personal website evoltaste.com (although it hasn’t been updated in a couple of years).

6emeia Street Art

The 6emeia project was created and developed by the artists Anderson Augusto, also known as SÃO, and Leonardo Delafuente, also known as Delafuente. The duo live in the Barra Funda neighborhood of São Paulo where they began the project with the purpose of changing and transforming daily life.

The duo's objective is to modify the means within which we all live, proposing a new way to view things by reflecting upon themes generated through creative and unusual works. Such modifications are made by painting storm drains, light posts, manhole covers and any other object which makes up the urban scenario.

With the painted storm drains, a new type of communication is proposed between art and the city as well as between art and the residents. Art then becomes within the reach and at the service of everyone. By looking with care at the most forgotten and indifferent objects, one can take in art in a new way. The painted storm drains are like colorful drops falling into animmense ash-colored canvas. Which affirms the fact that art does not always need to be viewed on the walls of galleries and museums.

In a tense-filled confusing city, the most prominent colors have long been gray and beige which is where the 6emeia duo enters the scene. Through their work, they bring a certain harmony to the passageways of the city with the use of color and in doing so, they bring life and good humor to all.

Pedestrian Crossing Street Art Combo

A pedestrian crossing or crosswalk is a designated point on a road at which some means are employed to assist pedestrians wishing to cross. They are designed to keep pedestrians together where they can be seen by motorists, and where they can cross most safely across the flow of vehicular traffic. Pedestrian crossings are often found at intersections, but may also be at other points on busy roads that would otherwise be too unsafe to cross without assistance due to vehicle numbers, speed or road widths. They are also commonly installed where large numbers of pedestrians are attempting to cross (such as in shopping areas) or where vulnerable road users (such as school children) regularly cross.

The first pedestrian crossing signal was erected in Bridge Street, Westminster, London in December 1868. It was the idea of John Peak Knight, a railway engineer, who thought that it would provide a means to safely allow pedestrians to cross this busy thoroughfare. The signal consisted of a semaphore arm (Manufactured by Saxby and Farmer, who were railway signaling makers), which was raised and lowered manually by a police constable who would rotate a handle on the side of the pole. The semaphore arms were augmented by gas illuminated lights at the top (green and red) to increase visibility of the signal at night. However, in January 1869, the gas used to illuminate the lights at the top leaked and caused an explosion, injuring the police operator. No further work was done on signalled pedestrian crossings until fifty years later.
