PROJECT BRAVE
Street Art by WK
"To commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11, street artist WK collaborates with New York firefighters to create a massive street mural (100 meters long) full of passion and motion. The iconic firefighter, NY’s “bravest”, symbolizes the many heroes that helped New York survive the tragic events of 2001, and turn it into the City that inspired the whole world."

"In the wake of the 22nd anniversary of Yusuf Hawkins’ brutal murder, Gabriel Specter acts to ignite the teen’s memory, once more, in New York City’s collective consciousness.
On August 23, 1989, a racially motivated mob murdered 16-year-old Yusuf Hawkins in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. A mural in his honor has stood in Bedford-Stuyvesant since then, but years of neglect, vandalism and aging paint have left it unrecognizable. The murder shook modern race relations in New York City and is linked to the undercurrents that sparked the Crown Heights Riots and the election of New York’s first black mayor, David Dinkins.
To honor Yusuf, Specter installed a 14 by 14 foot hand-painted portrait adorned with flowers. The placement maintains former additions by other artists and much of the original wall painted by Brooklyn master-muralist, Floyd Sapp. Often, notes are written to the deceased on memorial walls, over the years, Yusuf's mural was blanketed with scrawled messages to him and other fallen community members. Specter continues that tradition by adding to the historic wall that is once again revitalized by the memory of Yusuf Hawkins."

The other day we shared a bit about the things we do outside of Wooster Collective, and encouraged all of you to share with us something about yourself. The emails we received have been amazing and, as we near our tenth anniversary of doing the Wooster website, we wanted to share some of these stories with you...
From Loaf:
"When you asked for the readers to tell something about themselves, you know I want to say I've been checking on your blog every now and again for a long while now. I mean, I think since high school. For me that seems like a long time ago. I've since done some of the things people are supposed to do, went to college, grad school, somehow tricked people into letting me teach art all over the globe, all kinds of crazy stuff. But in the end I realize throughout it all I've always been painting, on walls, on paper, on wood, whatever! since I was like only a few years old! It's hard to believe it's been that long, and it's hard to believe I've been checking on your blog for however long it's been out there, I don't even remember, it seems like over ten years, can that be right? But I'd be lying if I said it didn't play a part in me becoming who I am. Somehow or another I'm sure you've all pushed me in the direction I'm in without even knowing about it. And I'm sure there are many others out there just like me. So, for them and me and for what it's worth, thanks! Only good things your way!"

"We recently discovered that Ron English was from Decatur, IL with him randomly showing up on Sunday night. There was a huge art happening at Donnie's Pizza. That night someone asked if he wanted to do a mural by Millikin University, and he agreed. The next day people from our community came together with him to make an awesome new popaganda mural. I gotta tell ya, finding out that he was from our town and then getting the privilege to work with him the next day, which coincidentally fell on my birthday, was to say the least amazing. Best birthday I ever had."I'd like to give a shoutout if I may to "Ron English, Jo Caulkins, Shane, Doug, Jon, Sue Powell at the Decatur Arts Council"... Lee Larkins

Regular readers of the Wooster website already know that we've been huge fans of Sten and Lex's for many years. And their latest project done in KØGE, Denmark as part of the Walk This Way festival, is one of the most ambitious and impressive street art projects we've seen.
At 700 square meters, we imaging that it's also one of the largest stencils ever created.
In the video below you can see how the created it, over a 20 day period...

It's now became clear that Banksy has indeed been spending some quality time in Hollywood.
Early this morning actress Lauren Conrad (The Hills) was the first to spot and tweet out one of the new Banksy street pieces - the Crayon Boy.
Then later this afternoon, a second piece featuring Charlie Brown (shown above) was also spotted.
More to come?

"Your move
There is one thing - the only one to be totally sure about: everything will eventually disappear.
The city, the streets, the buildings, even we ourselves and our children.
The time will pass and the piers of this grand bridge will go shaky, fall down, fold as domino row.
This basically means, if things are not eternal - and there are no eternal things - we can change them as we want.
Everyone has something unshakable, unchangeable, but it is not true.
Last move is always yours.

"I've tried something a little different. My inspiration came on hearing Jeff Buckley cover an aria. Opera not regularly on my playlist, the more I heard the more I realized the story would suit the places I usually work in. Was a strange process but stoked on completing it.
The process was pretty interesting, throughout the pieces randoms were bringing in friends to see it and I caught the security guards too. The factory where it's taped really feels like when the wall came down so too the workers - workbooks, coffee mugs, jackets all still in place."... Buff Diss

From Faith47:
"the wall that i painted in cape town recently was sponsored by the british council. the image was inspired by a picture that alexia webster took in macassar, cape town...
of protesters, women, children, men and the elderly... "backyarders" - families who live in back yards because there is no space or housing available or provided by the state. they had taken over an empty piece of land in protest...
here's an article from the day she took the photo.
i also chose this location because it has a certain resonance to it. as it is where the protesters gather before they march to parliament."

"Growing up as a first generation Australian with parents from Northern Ireland meant that I would watch the violence between nationalist and loyalist factions in the region from a distance. This work is heavily influenced by the large Militant Murals painted by the IRA and UFF which make up my first memories of public art from my childhood. The painting explores how ancient mythology, religion, land and folklore helped create pride amongst Irish-catholic communities when faced with poverty, conflict and gentrification. The piece aims to evoke a sense of loss, hope and renewal while highlighting the absurdities of war."... Fintan Magee
