People tell stories of mystical creatures dwelling under swampy bridges, and Waterways by Phlegm uses street art to exemplify those tales.
Phlegm is a UK-based artist that has a one-of-a-kind style when it comes to graffiti. Phlegm's work is comprised of oddly shaped creatures on a journey, scrounging through the canals like monsters that crawl in the night.
Phlegm takes his art work to the streets, or in this case to the streams, and sports a pair of waders to create stunning black and white images. The water setting ties in perfectly with these caricatures, as most of them are depicted as riding a monster and paddling through the eerie environment. The result elevates the average stream into something more artistic.
