The first Toynbee Tile dates back to the early 1980s. Today, more than 250 have been discovered in more than two dozen North American cities as well as in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, many inscribed with instructions to make more tiles. Even the material they’re made of was a mystery until recently, when it was determined to be a rare kind of linoleum combined with asphalt sealant. - mersenne from Bookmarklet

Can chickens be cute and still carry a political message? Check out the work of Cache and you might think so. Street artist Cache painted his first chicken in 2003, near downtown LA. "The chicken thing started as a joke," he says, "but once I started reading and exploring the socioeconomic spiral, I figured there's a way to open people's minds. Carlos Castaneda wrote about humaneros--human chicken coops. I realized we're no different than chickens. ... The more I paint, the more political I get." His brightly colored murals are no doubt catchy and cool. But don't just look at their cute little faces, notice that the paintings are sometimes instead about the "division of social classes, and the oppression of the poor." - Emma from Bookmarklet

"Jace, street artist, traveled to Madagascar Island and lived with the people of Anakao for two weeks, experimenting with the local fishermen and their sails. This is a moving experience to live and share the joyful moments of connecting the little character "gouzou" with the generous unhabitant of some of the wildest place in the world." - tomavana from Bookmarklet

Humans have been expressing themselves by scrawling on walls since the earliest people lived in caves. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that we started taking our messages to the walls, trains and sidewalks of urban environments around the world. The graffiti movement, seen by some as mere vandalism, actually encompasses some impressive and talented artists. They’re attracted by the freedom that graffiti provides; the ability to simply make something without constraints. Some are also involved in more widely-accepted art forums, such as gallery shows, but many choose to remain anonymous and shrouded in a world of secrecy, pseudonyms, and spray paint. - Emma from Bookmarklet
