Taking a totally different slant on street art is uk based artist Gorm, his pieces have included piles of ice, the use of snails, and more frequently sugar cement and tape drawings. Each in themselves are peculiar yet have a unique charm to them, down to the way that they have been executed by Gorm.
My personal favourites of his studies being the tape drawings, this is due to the carefully considered placement of the designs on the pavement aswell as on rock face to create an image that is as equally confusing as they are charming.
Check out some of the photos below, and give his flickr a visit.

3 Street Art Photographers You Should Know!
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
The people who photograph the painted walls are probably just as important to the street art scene as the people who painted them. It’s the responsibility of the photographer to capture the piece of art in it’s best light. It could be said that the street art photographer is there to add the cherry to the cake for those that can’t see the piece of artwork in person.
A photo can spread the artwork around the world in an instance with modern technology. Imagine an artist who works on a tiny but beautiful stencil at the back of an alley. In it’s lifetime only a handful of people will see it and even fewer will appreciate it. A photographer can come along, take a snapshot and within a few days it’s a global phenomenon.
Here’s a thought, where would Banksy be without a digital image of his work on the internet hype machine?
There are a dedicated bunch of individuals who are super psyched about the possibility of finding something new to show the world. In no particular order, here are 3 fantastic street art photographers:
This is Panorama
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009He found his in his house, I paid a mere penny for mine and another paid 20 quid in a winning bid on eBay. What am I talking about? Why the Halina Panorama. Loaded with standard 35mm film, this seemingly unsuspecting toy produces some rather impressive panorama photos. This novelty in itself is a bit different from your standard 35mm SLR shots. Hunt one out on eBay, load with film and get snapping to be down with the film>digital fad that is apparent at the moment.
This time round I’m going to show you some classic panorama shots from Trix, of Welsh residence.
