The post Cuong Nguyen Does Incredible Chalk Portraits on Asphalt appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>As he was growing up in Vietnam, art wasn’t just a hobby for Nguyen. It was also a way to earn money, drawing portraits for people on the streets of Saigon to help his family.
In the early ’90s, Nguyen got a chance to move to the United States, where he temporarily abandoned his passion for drawing and got engaged in various other forms of creative work, including working as an icon designer for one company.
Years later, Nguyen received a chance to return to making portraits when a friend of his invited him to take part in one street art festival in San Rafael, California. He did a small portrait on asphalt using chalk and fell in love with this type of art.
Since then, Nguyen took part in many festivals all around the world, honing his skills and presenting the audience with incredible works. His portraits are imposing, full of details, and life-like to an amazing extent.
You can check out some of them below.

]]>Growing up, Leval, who also goes by the name Levalet, has experimented with many other mediums of art. However, bringing cities to life is his favorite thing to do. His creations are mostly funny, playful, and very astonishing.
“I didn’t start working in the streets because I was first and foremost interested in the street,” Leval told Bored Panda. “What I wanted— and what keeps being my aim—was to work on reality and produce a context-sensitive art.”
He then added: “Not simply to show one’s productions ranging from picture rails on a neutral medium and beckon the eyes to enjoy it, but also an art which is a means of intervention and joins an outside reality and aims at modifying it.”
He currently has over 70,000 Instagram followers. However, his beautiful and realistic-looking artwork was seen by many more people from all around the globe.
If you are interested in his creations, check out the gallery below.

]]>The thing that makes Scanlon’s work so unique is that his graffiti is always inspired by the chosen location, and planned to the very last detail in order to interact with its surroundings.
Even though he showed immense talent from an early age, it’s interesting that Scanlon started painting in his thirties. After more than ten years of struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, Scanlon decided to change his life when he visited the Banksy Exhibition in Bristol in 2009.
“It was a life-changing moment that day, I was blown away at how full-size works could be applied so fast and the buzz the place gave off. It was definitely Banksy’s best work—it made me realize how I’d thrown away my own life and what a disgrace I’d become over the years,” the artist told Bored Panda.
Even though there were months of treatments and learning ahead of him, Scanlon managed to turn his life around and get recognition for his work and now his art is inspiring thousands of people.

He also hopes his work will encourage communities to rise above their differences and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things. A tall order, but then again, that’s exactly the kind of power art might have: the power to connect people by instilling a sense of wonder.
“We are all interconnected and even though we’ve created borders and hierarchies in the world we are still one people, a race of explorers in the constant pursuit of perfection,” said Jalea in an interview with Talenthouse. “We have to learn to better help each other.”
Born in Peru and based in Toronto, Jalea takes his message around the world. It was actually during one of his travels that he formulated his positive approach. But his message has also caught onto some commercial brands, with commissions from selected clients like Facebook, Nike, Cirque du Soleil, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

]]>“I feel lucky to have studied as an artist in the streets and later in a college,” he told Acclaim Magazine. “In doing so, I always felt like I had to keep my artistry of the streets and love of letters separate from what I was learning in school. I used to separate what I could create, so, for example, I would tell myself ‘this is for graffiti’, and ‘that is for the galleries’, today I don’t. Now I am combining my love of everything together, which you will begin to see unfold in the years to come.”
Rodriguez categorizes his art into two types of portraiture: Topographical Portraiture and Type Faces. While his Topographical Portraits are made by stylizing a portrait with topographical lines and shapes, reminding of geographic maps, his Type Faces incorporate typography and portraiture.
His unique style of painting took the art world by storm, and his pieces are now shown in public art spaces, museums, companies, and galleries, as well as published in editorial publications. Though best experienced in person, you can also follow his work online through his Instagram page.

]]>“There are a few different ways of doing it,” says Mackenzie-Gray. “You can draw a design, print it up on acetate, project it onto the wall, trace it onto wrapping paper, and then use the pounce, (or pounce-wheel), running it over the design perforates the paper, and then use a chalk pad. You put your design on the wall where you want it, bang the chalk pad through, take the paper off and you’ve got a dotted line. A lot of these methods are hundreds of years old; things haven’t changed much at all.”
After graduating with a degree in graphic design at LCC, with a focus on typography, Mackenzie-Gray took a leap of faith and opened his business, Toucan Signs. His intuition seemed to have proved correct. Working both digitally and by hand, his signs can be seen at Honest Burgers and the Museum of London, with his painting surfaces varying to include brick walls, gloss, shop faces, and glass.

Usually, we would use that to get to work or simply to travel without the added headache of finding an affordable parking space. For Bufalino, the long rectangular shape just screams “pool!” So he got a back, tipped it over on its side, hollowed the inside and filled it with water. All it needed was a ladder in front so that people may enjoy easy access into the water on those hot Parisian days.
Sports cars, on the other hand, are clearly meant to be seen and be admired. So what could be better for the entrepreneurial vendor on the street to attract customers than having his own red sports car, converted into a vending stand? Just prop up the upper half so that the lower part can be used as a multi-purpose kitchen surface, and start grilling!
These are just a few examples. Bufalino is bound to keep coming up with more ideas that are even more outrageous, so keep an eye on his Instagram page!

]]>The post No Wall is Too Big For Aryz to Paint On appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Aryz usually adorns his walls with characters, portraying them in powerful poses of conflict or contemplation. However, he does sometimes make the odd exception of painting inanimate objects. Regardless of their content, his paintings are instantly recognizable due to his distinct use of pale colors and heavy emphasis on blue-yellow contrast.
“I started painting with graffiti people from my town,” Aryz told Polish magazine Puszka. “they were making letters, and I was making characters between letters. After a while, I had a stupid injury in my finger for pressing in a wrong way the spray cans. So I started to use more brush instead of spray.”
Remarkably, Aryz’s old crowd didn’t like the switch and kicked him out of their posse: “The same time the guys I was painting with said that my works were not cool anymore because I was not using spray cans, so we finished our cooperation. After that, I started painting for myself, trying to do more characters and big paintings.”
It seems that things turned out for the best for both Aryz and the walls he is gracing with his art. He’s been to many cities around the world, including Katowice, Tokyo, and Nevada. Wouldn’t it be cool to wake up one morning and find him working on a building across the street from you?

]]>According to Miller, the floral designs are meant to stir onlookers into a feeling of wonder and serve as a change of pace from the everyday. In his latest flower flash, Miller and his team turned a Manhattan phone booth into a blooming flower garden with the help of many pink roses and bright blue perennials.
“We had never done a phone booth before,” Miller told The Gothamist, “We were debating between a phone booth and a fire escape but ultimately this iconic phone booth on 100th Street and West End Avenue won out! During the execution of this particular flash so many neighborhood folks came out to tell us the history of this booth. It’s a working telephone and there is even a children’s book written about it called The Lonely Phone Booth.”
#flowerflash #LMDxNYC #825WestEndAvenue oh, and #foamfree 
In the past three years, Miller and his team have transformed everything from empty trash cans into oversized vases and statues into living floral arrangements.
If you want to catch his work in person, you might have to be quick. The arrangements are designed to be taken down after about a day and the flowers are gifted to the public.
Thankfully, his work also inspires many photographs so you can check them out below.
