Residing in California Armo’s work is a collaboration of typographic elements and exploration with graffiti structure and form. By looking at graffiti and typography by studying their visual commonalities as lettering, much can be discovered and revealed. As graffiti matures and diversifies, more and more of it’s aesthetics filters into graphic design, and it has gained acceptance in popular culture at large.
Now comfortably accepted as a contemporary mode of communication. While graffiti has appeal due to its illegality and excitement, as typography is omnipresent in today’s PC-based information society. Armo is striving to blur the line between typography and graffiti striving to find relationships between the forms of communication.

I stumble across welovetypography.com a few weeks ago and it has quickly become my go-to source for typographic inspiration. The site is minimal and super clean, so it doesn’t get in the way of the work that is displayed.
Boxi’s latest work, done in Athens, is entitled “To die for”. It is part of the 2nd Athens biennial “HEAVEN”.
“It’s an attempt to portray the blind purity of love, and a wall of belief that can end it all. The work is a reflection upon the sad fate of two young lovers who were killed because of their love.”
The work consists of 11 hand cut life-sized greyscale layers of the stencil. To see how the piece was done watch the video below:
A burned-out ice-cream van is among 100 works Banksy has installed at Bristol’s museum, replacing many of the museum’s regular artifacts.
Banksy said: “This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off.”
Staged in the council-owned City Museum and Art Gallery, Banksy v Bristol Museum features animatronics, installations and a sensory display.
“This show is my vision of the future, to which many people will say: ‘You should have gone to Specsavers’”, Banksy added.
The exhibition and its location have been a closely-guarded secret since October, with just a couple of museum officials in the loop.
“I think we may have dragged them down to our level rather than being elevated to theirs,” said Banksy of the subterfuge involved in staging the show in his home city.
