Animated character designer Phil Postma created this series of imaginary Star Wars action figures cards after he saw an image of an R2-D2 action figure that looked like a tiny spray can.

These days street art has become more popular, and has many more fans than it used to. You can thank Banksy and some other artists for that. And now that it is more accepted, it seems like the installations just keep getting bigger and bigger.

You might have heard of NeverWet when it was first launched. It’s basically a waterproofing spray that repels liquids so you can keep your stuff dry.

Ever snickered as you walked past a car that vandals drew stuff on with soap? That laughter will disappear as quickly as it came when you reach your car and see that they’ve done the same to you.

Where I’m from, most politicians only spring into action when it’s time for re-elections. Other than that, they’re busy plastering their faces on signs and tarpaulins of ongoing projects all around the city while failing to do what they’re really supposed to do: serve.

You won’t see phone booths as creative or as colorful as the ones you’ll find in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Typically, phone booths are made to look plain so they’ll blend in with the surroundings, and only the people actually looking for them will be able to really “see” them.

If there’s one thing that I’ve never been able to do, it’s to create freehand drawings with a can of paint. Luckily, others can do wonders with these cans, as is evidenced by the these excellent Star Wars graffiti creations found around the globe by Smosh. While some of the graffiti paintings are cool, others are a bit less than so, especially the one with Jar-Jar.

I really like this animation by German artist Surfap – based on the classic 8-bit NES game Super Mario Bros. I’m actually not sure how he achieved the effect, but the illusion makes it look like the game was painted on a concrete wall and sidewalk.
