Cannibals. Fakirs. Crime and punishment. Rituals. Slaves, cults and customs. Warriors and weapons. Equestrians and equilibrists. Musicians and mendicants. Dance, dress, undress and body modification. Structures, conveyances, beasts, and more breasts than you can shake a stick at! This is The Secret Museum of Mankind. (i didn't write that, lol but this shit is bugged out!! thats my write up)

dazed.

Christopher Ellis once used to paint on subway cars. He said he saw it as a gesture of defiance at a time when entire blocks in the South Bronx had been obliterated. Now, he sells his work to serious collectors for as much as $25,000, and find himself in the enviable position of turning down work.

Filip Leu


A third-generation artist and second-generation tattooer, Filip Leu was born in Paris in 1967. He's the son of Felix and Loretta Leu aka Don Feliz and Y Maria, and grandson of artist Eva Aeppli, Jean Tinguely's first wife.
His parents were artists, bohemians, hippies and also enthusiastic travelers. This meant that Filip and his 3 siblings, Ama, Aia and Ajja, grew up in Europe, North Africa, India and Nepal. Felix and Loretta began tattooing in 1978 in Goa, India and Filip started to learn the craft from them when he was 11.

Together with his parents he created "The Leu Family's Family Iron Studio and Museum" in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1982. He began tattooing full-time there; he was 15.

Los Carpinteros

"Marco Castillo and Dago Rodriguez, better known as Los Carpinteros ("The Carpenters") are two Cuban artists who designed furniture masquerading as fantastic works of art.

Frontline/World has a few examples of their work, including the Estuche (a jewelry case made to look like a hand grenade) and Mano Creadora or Creative Hand (a chest of drawers made to look like an open palm)"

Chicago Crochet Bombers?!?

Scattered throughout Chicago are more than 30 woolly fabric as "crochet graffiti" by an underground artist group Micro-Fiber Militia.

So here’s the obvious question: is crocheted art a form of vandalism?

Unlike spray-painted graffiti, which is more permanent and can be considered destructive to property, Kristin argues that her pieces don’t actively destroying anything and are more fleeting. She prefers the term “artistic littering.”

“I’m sewing it on,” she said, acknowledging that her work can be destroyed by a quick snip of the scissors. “It’s not buttons or Velcro that people can’t take off easily.”

The Chicago Police Department tends to agree. “Since there is no criminal defacement to property, it would be difficult to categorize it as vandalism,” said Monique Bonds, a department spokeswoman.
