Roadsworth ...

Asphalt Glory
Bullets for Oil Any time you hear a politician utter the phrase “our way of life” replace it with the phrase “access to oil” and things start to make more sense
Dandelions

North American Footprint If you’re from Bangladesh your “eco-footprint” is about the size of…a foot. If you’re from North America it looks something like this.
Safety Pins A tribute to the human tendency to devise short term solutions for long term problems.


I like street art ... I think it's neat to walk down a street and come across a random drawing/grafitti/poster - someone obviously thought it to be a good idea to express themselves there, why? what were they thinking?

Banksy ofcourse... is a FANTASTIC artist, i love his style, his quirkiness, his irreverence, etc (if you dont know Banksy - look through his site)

But recently - I came across Roadsworth (i think a clever name) - who does quirky art on streets, sometimes using existing markings, and shadows to create.... missiles, dandelions, footprints etc. He started out to express the need for more cycle lanes... since then has been charged with 53 counts of mischief, been let off and now (with public support) continues to express himself with street art

If you go through his gallery - look at his captions. some of them are pretty interesting
