More strange materials

Designboom posts about "living wall"

A Hungarian artist, Edina Tokodi lives in Brooklyn and creates art work out of mosstika, a kind of moss idea for growing on vertical surfaces.

This once again takes STREET ART to a new level! I checked out her page, and I've totally seen her stuff in Williamsburg!

Design boom focused on her recent project, using a wood board to let the moss seep through, creating a silhouette.


This post reminded me of the crayon portrait artist, seen here in one of my first entries.

This is so great! It reminds me a yarn bombing and LED graffiti. Frikken really interesting, out of the box ways to create street art!!

Strange Materials

Crayons. They seem like an elementary material to most. But artist Christian Faur has pushed the norm with these crayon portraits, posted in design boom. Using them like pixels in a pointillism style drawing.

He also uses materials like shredded paper.
