BadPanda...

Vince Herrera, a.k.a BadPanda, is a street artist here in Miami. You can see his stickers everywhere, and me being a major sticker-head, thought his Panda's could use some shine. Vince also paints, and will leave his artwork in random places. He'll paint a piece of concrete, or leave a framed piece up on a tree. His goal is to get people to realize there is more then what is going on in their lives, and to get people to look beyond themselves. This is basically what this site is about. Open your eyes world, and take notice to the beautiful things around you.

Tribe Called Phresh...

TCP has many good artist like Typoe, Cynic, and Sone2. This crew gets up heavy in Miami, and they are definitely one of the best crews out on the street. Each writer has their own unique style, and their pieces stand out.

Beno was one of the best writers in the 90's. I use to see his work all over the place when I was younger. He was good friends with Revok. Rest in peace to the legend, Beno.

Reyes MSK AWR...

Reyes is excellent street artist from San Fransisco, CA and runs with  MSK and AWR. Well known for his unique letter styling, and filling his canvas' with color. His pieces will have you hypnotized and amazed. Luckily, I was able to find a classic Reyes R chilling in a hidden spot.

The Blues...

I have a keen eye for fresh colors, in dull spots. And these four writers filled a wall with different blues, and it came out really clean. The letter styles go well with the flow of the wavy blue background, but kind of hidden from on going passers. So I'll show the world some classic graffiti from Miami.

Getting High for America...

Hero's know how to party, and Sever shows us how. Using Captain America, Sever shows us that American heroes also get high, like everyone else does. I thought this piece was dope, because I'm into comics and like the message the artist is sending to the public.

Abstrk Art...

Abstrk is another sick writer here in Miami. His work is truly abstract, and filled with vibrant colors. Abstrk can be put in the list of best writers in Miami. His work is amazing and very creative, check out some of these flicks.

Montana Paint...

Montana paints have to be the best paints I've ever used. Especially the 94's, the paint comes out so smooth, and no uncontrollable drips. Its an excellent low pressure can, and can be used in any weather. The best part about this line, you can hold the can upside down, and it will still work.

DJ Monopoly...

Alec Monopoly is a close friend of mine, so I've seen his work evolve to what it is now. Right now he is killing it in NYC. I know, this print is not in Miami, but everytime Alec comes to the 305, he shows it love.

Product Placement...

I've used many different inks in my day. From Krink to OnTheRun, and now there's a new ink that's out there. Its called Smash Ink, and this ink is excellent. I recently bought a couple 8 oz. bottles to test it out, and I am impressed. Works best with mops, but can be used with any refillable marker. This ink makes perfect drips and makes smooth lines when you need it. Exclusively sold at Art Primo and comes in multiple colors. Check out Art Primo's video demo of Smash Ink.

Space Invasion....

Space Invader has to be one of my favorite street artist out there. He uses the classic 2D images, from Space Invader the video game, and creates mosiac tile pieces. You can see his aliens in every major city in the world. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of his aliens in Miami. Keep an eye out, there could be a space invasion in your city.

 Bubble letters is a common style for most writers, who want to get a quick throw up out. The best part about bubble letters is that its sweet to look at. Some of the writers in Miami have unique styling for their bubble letters.

Calligraphy...

If you're major graff head, like myself, then you get a thrill from seeing different types of handstyles. Now you're thinking, if I've seen one handstyle, I've seen them all. Actually, you can consider yourself wrong from here on. Handstyles are a from of calligraphy, and these artist have some real skill.

TYPOE!!!

Typoe is one the best writers in Miami. His style is un-matchable, just check this video out and you will know what I'm talking about.

Spiderman in the nude...

I thought this was really interesting, so I captured a flick of it. Dap's interpretation of Spiderman, giving up on his super hero duties, and its amazing. I'm a huge Spiderman fan, so this piece really caught my attention.

Call ANIMAL control, There's a TAKEOVER going down...

Animal Takeover is getting some ups. I like these prints, they are unique and comical at the same time. I hope there will be more to see around the city. Animal Takeover is bringing the wild to the streets, and thats exactly what the streets of Miami need.

Some Shine On Some Writers

There are many graff writers here in Miami, and each one have their own style. Unique with a hint of Miami, these pieces pop with color. Miami has some very talented artist hidden in the streets and they need to be exposed to the world.

I AM AIR!

I thought this was an interesting piece, and it was hidden from the public. Great perspective and really nice shading. I Am Air really has some real flare. I'm going to be on the hunt for more pieces by I Am Air.

It's a Stick Up!

Stickers rarely get any shine here in Miami, and are usually taken down. So I decided, it would be a great idea to capture shots of some really cool stickers, that deserve some shine. Most of these stickers were made by local artist and their crews. I enjoyed taking these photos, because I love stickers.

Spark Plugged...

There's another artist I want to give some shine. His/Hers work can be seen around Wynwood and the Design District. This person's style is very intriguing, because it's hard to figure out what they are actually painting. I must say, it is dope. The posters this individual puts are on the same level with their figures. Definitetly would like to see more of this type of art work out on the street.

Un-Identified...

I've been trying to figure out who created these amazing designs, and have yet to come to a conclusion. If anyone can identify the artist who created these designs, feel free to leave a comment. I would like to meet he/she and get to know more about them and their talent.
