Swoon

Can street art be beautiful? Swoon makes the case that it can. Her wheatpaste prints and paper cutouts show a different side of so-called grafitti. Very personal, realistic, and expressive, her art combines realistic representations of people, stark colors and transformations between nature or city and the human form. Read a little about her here and here.

I'd never seen her art before- but it's really cool!

Yeah, she is one of my favorites. Totally unique from most of the things I've seen.

This is so coll, I like that one with the girl who is staring at us and her body is coming out of the collage of different images.
I think I might like this as much as banksy.
