The street art scene has got us excited in 2008. So many brilliant urban activities and different forms of expressions has seen the day through the city’s sphere all around the world. It’s hard to pick one out above the rest. However Banksy’s Pet Shop in New York has to be one of the highlights of the 2008 street art scene, along with the multi-international Cans Festival celebrating the art of the spray can in London this year.
The face of urban art is ever changing, which is why this art form is constantly re-inventing itself, constantly developing new forms of expressions. From graffiti, to posters, to stencils, to ongoing projects and guerrilla campaigns, just look to the streets if you want to find fun, innovative, creative and cutting edge ideas.
