Mobstr purpose is to make us see the public space we live in.

And here we go again. ‘I am the best, you are not’. ‘There is only one place a the top and it’s mine’.
Boring.
Banksy’s latest work has landed him in an old fashioned street fight. He indeed thought he’ll modernize a 24-year-old work by ‘King Robbo’ in Camden, North London. Continue reading Banksy v. King Robbo or when 2 legends clash
We’ve all seen these ancient centuries-old technique of prints, what about mixing some GIF animation and totally change how you see the art.
The artist is Segawa Atsuki, who uses Adobe Photoshop and After Effects to create the movement which often clashes with the subject background and throw in some Sci-File wonders.
We like the “Segways” one! The last one is a cracker too!
Which one do you like? Comment below!

Looking down as usual when I am on my way to the office, I must have heard them calling on me that day. I looked up that morning. One was proudly sat down on a wooden pillar while another little man and a woman had found refuge in small cavities of what looks like a very depraved wall. But they were all very glad, I spotted them as so many by-passers never do, they told me.
At first I loved them but was also eager to know what the hell these little characters were all about. After a what seemed to me a long chat, I did not know more than before I talked to them. What I knew for sure is that they were over the moon that someone took them out of their boredom by spotting them.
Slightly puzzled by this encounter, I was trying very hard to remember whether I had seen these guys elsewhere when right there in front me, was another little worker but this time amongst the display of some kitchen and bathroom furniture shop on Clerkenwell road. I was stunned and started to believe they were either following me or spreading all around.
I decided to step in the shop and find out once for all…
These little workers are actually part of an advertising campaign to increase awareness about the imminent opening of a new DOMUS shop on Great Sutton street. DOMUS is speacialising in tiles. Representatives have been around shops in Clerkenwell and gave away these little figurines to scatter around willing shopkeepers’ shop windows as well as right on the street nearby the new store.
Whatever this is, street art used in advertising, this is a genius idea and if the guys at DOMUS had in mind to get people to find out and talk about these guys, well they got it right. Look above, I mentioned three times their brand in this blog post and are about to insert a link about their new shop which is about to open. Clap, clap, clap.

We will today look at Italian native Pixel Pancho street art who is currently in Poland to take part in the street art Doping festival held in Warsaw.
Pixel Pancho street art style stands out of the crowd and often includes robotic like characters. It was difficult to choose which pieces to show so anything Pixel Pancho sprays turns into wonders. We have included below a few examples of his works.
My eyes got wide opened when I saw this new design for digital camcorder – creativity at its best.
Pentax and Nanoblock (Japanese brand which can be compared to Lego) have excelled here.
They have given us something to play with, and it also takes pictures! Continue reading PENTAX & NANOBLOCK or the funkier camera out there
Cargo used to host these nights where graffiti artists were throwing their best pieces while you could calmly sipping your fine cocktails before exploding in a ‘whoaaaa’ that piece over there is nice. Great times. Continue reading Cargo bar : cocktails and street art
When I got into Stolen Space, I was immediately caught by the sense of freshness in Arth Daniel’s execution of the medium of oil paint – the large canvases stood right there on the walls, the colors were anything but attractive, the illustrations, some of you do not see very often.
