A girl of 10 has been labelled the female Banksy (is that such a great label these days?), she started painting her creations on special legal graffiti sites around Brighton, Sussex, at the age of eight. Her name is Solveig (her first name and tag name). Got to say, I like her style! Has a cool bold look, I can see slight similarities to Blu.

Now I’ve gone and compared her to a legend. Hmmmm.

Ignore me, and check out some of her art, awesome!

Taking place on 4th March from 7pm, the live art battle will see each team create their very own, unique interpretation of Cuba using only coloured acrylics on a 20ft white wall.

Check out the previous post on a Secret Wars indoor graffiti competition I went to see, it was brilliant! Read more about the event on HUCK Magazine.

Go on Mr. College, it’s good to hear they’re sticking up for the guy. Not the most intelligent thing he could have done though, let’s be honest…

Pics sent in by RET – tagging as TE, TEN, and BISON in Taipei, Taiwan and occasionally New York. Photos from 2008-2009.

Things are looking interesting in Taiwan, with a few graffiti artists from San Francisco currently being out there – including UDON and OPTIMIST. More from them soon… Cheers RET for the images, the Bison tag is sweet!

Check out our photo gallery for more original world graffiti.

More crazy graffiti, from the same place as the DISH piece from an earlier post, you can just see how they linked up. Was just a minute from the main Amsterdam Square, taken in 2006. Any one got an idea of who painted it? Great style.

Saw this artists colours all over Amsterdam, worked well I think. Below is another I saw, I’m assuming by the same artist…

Nice bit of graffiti art from MIHZ, Amsterdam Holland 2007.

Amsterdam graffiti 34 mihz, originally uploaded by jameswarren2000.

Wicked graffiti art from Amsterdam, Holland 2007 (not MIHZ). It was right under street lighting so it was hard to photograph (enough with the excuses now). Still, looks great! I wonder if it’s done by the same artist who did the car sketch graffiti…

How weird is this, was on the site of a building in the middle of nowhere in the Swiss alps. Great bit of Swiss graffiti though!

I really like this graffiti from Amsterdam, almost looks like it’s a sketch on the wall.

Italian artist Blu combines an almost child-like and detailed drawing style with a mix of political messages. He uses a really nice mix of line drawing and colour too. Blu’s website is awesome and features a bunch of his wall mural animations and sketch drawings, done using a large scale stop-motion technique, they’re pretty mind-blowing.

In his book you can see a bunch of sketches too, it’s really a great book. Here is one of Blu’s video murals, Muto. It’s been around for ages and has been seen by a gazillion people and I still love it.

I really like is that the politics is mixed with humour and a wicked style.

New graffiti and urban art paintings/murals from 2008 and 2009 from Blu!

This Amsterdam graffiti looks like the sort of thing David Beckham would tattoo on his arse. I like it. Cool yellow.

A bit more graffiti from Amsterdam, it was on a temporary wall next to a building site so it’s probably gone now. Shame about the weird yellow lighting they had, but you can still see the cactus, nice!

Cox18 – Blu Graffiti Art Video

Here is a great new video of Blu doing a new piece, Cox18. Done in stop motion. Top stuff.

Painted in Milan, Italy, Blu says the art relates to the Conchetta Squat (Cox 18) where in January 2009 about a hundred policeman emptied a squat that was occupied more than 33 years ago.

The building was until this point used by many for meetings, dances and discussion groups, and various historical archives of books are kept and shared.

It stands as a symbol of culture in Milan, and there has been a fierce backlash from artists in Italy. Support the fight to take back Cox 18, sign the petition to save Cox 18.

Took this from the train from Geneva to Zurich, it’s an amazing journey to spot great graffiti because the sides of the track are mostly concrete walls, although they are adding some anti-graffiti walls too (people are still painting them though).

The stretch between Basel and Zurich is especially great!
