Etam Cru.

Etam Cru? You're probably thinking, "what in da bleedin' 'ell?" First of all, yes you are a Scotsman in this scenario, and no its not a new word I made up.

Etam Cru is a fabulous group of street artists I just discovered, and boy do I mean...

FABULOUS.

Their work is simply phenomenal. The artistry, the color, the size. I mean, these things are M-A-SSIVE. Not to mention the sheer weirdness that they encapsulate. Talk about a lethal combination. Big & Weird. Sounds like a rap duo.

These fellas are the second, of what I'll call "graffiti artists" that I've come across accidentally. Herakut was my last discovery, and they are still (by far) one of my faves fo shizz. I'm finding that Etam Cru does most of their art in/around Poland. Which is perfect because I'm mostly Polish! A full 25%... BOOM. Chalk one up for some ancestral roots! Also, because they're Polish, and most of the art sights I found them on were IN Polish... I'm not 100% sure who the "crew" is made up of. It's looking like 2-3 dudes, but please don't hold me to the accuracy of that information. All I know is their website has some killer images >>> www.etamcru.com ... which is where I pulled most of the below from...

These guys do art that will just plain rock your socks off, so I want to share some of their work on HERE with ya'll because its simply too fantastic not to! And this is my blog... so stay here and read, and refer, and.... 

Enjoi!

All I can say is... RAD. That's right, I'm swinging at that with tubular '80's power.

Cheerio!

I'm Tired.

I project daydream. Almost daily. I have so many ideas in my head of all the paintings, sewing projects, decorating ideas I have that I never really know when to start them all. It always seems like there is not enough time in a 24 hour day to accomplish everything. I time manage well, but most days my mental and physical exhaustion keep me from my passions. It's rather difficult to get creatively motivated when you can't remember your name some days. 

Since I'm tired, I thought I would do a quick google search for "tired art"... look at all the neat things that popped up!

Enjoi.

Yeaaaaa buddy! Get Some. DINNER!

This is literally "tired" art... as in TIRES. The entire thing is
made out of it. How unbelievably tired. Pun intended?

Hey Santa, who's been naughty naughty?

 

I should mention that none of these were done by me, or owned by me, etc. I have no idea who created any of them... otherwise I would give credit where credit is due. I'm just sharing imagery wit ya'll.

Cheerio!
