3D art using sand.
Not much to say apart from why not having a go at it this summer when you are on your favourite beach instead of lying around?
And burying your best mate in the sand is also fun but not that creative.
Simply awesome don’t you think?
We always get impressed by large scale works and let’s face it, while Usain Bolt keeps running faster and faster than anyone else, street artists keep taking on bigger and bigger projects.
Narcelio Grud, a street artist from Brazil just did that. When we saw what he did, we immediately though about what a bunch of other street artists such as FinDac, Mr Zero and Fat Heat did to the Duke of Lancaster back in 2013.
What makes Narcelio’s work different and interesting is his abstract approach to this marvellous and colourful piece of art.
For those who are lucky enough to live in Brazil, this piece is using the stranded ship Mara Hope located on Iracema Beach alongside the Brazilian city of Fortaleza.
We are thrilled to relay Narcelio’s work on the site as we know he has been following us for a while.
Well done mate.

ART . PANCAKES . BOOZE . DJ . LIVE ART . EAST LONDON .
7pm till 2am
Pancake batter is sizzling, beer froth is flowing, and bare flesh is slathered in paint. Indie musicians and DJs break sound waves off the canvas-lined, graffiti-strewn walls, while revelers stuff their faces with endless amounts of free pancakes.
The Pancakes & Booze Art Show is an LA based artist movement that started in 2009 and has quickly spread to over 20+ cities throughout North America.
They currently organize some of the largest pop-up underground art showcases in the country, with the best local emerging artists, musicians, and performers each city has to offer.
Artists can submit their artwork by filling out our online submission form located below under “SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION”
If accepted, there is a £10 per piece HANGING FEE to display your work.
There are NO COMMISSIONS ON SALES. You take 100% of what you sell. The £10 per piece goes towards the production costs of the event (i.e. venue rental, staff, building materials, etc.). PAYMENT (cash only) is not due until the day of installation.
There is a strict 1×1 meters MAX SIZE LIMIT for each piece you’d like to exhibit. This is due to the size of the wall panels we use to display your work. Sorry, but no work over 1×1 (meter) in size will be able to fit on the walls.
DROP OFF and INSTALLATION TIMES & DATES will be confirmed. In most cases, installation is on the day of the event between 12-5p. Once confirmed we’ll inform you of the correct time.
There is no DEADLINE for submitting artwork. We take art until we fill all the wall space available. P&B is an extremely popular show, so we recommend reserving space as soon as possible.
We will have a number of live artists creating work during the event. We open the floor up to anyone who wants to create a live art piece or do body painting for the show. Please just bring your supplies, along with a drop cloth, and do your thing. There is no need to sign up. All materials must be odour free.
Submit your application and we will get back to you as soon as possible
Most of the sales go through the artist. We highly recommend that everyone gets a credit card swiper for their phone. SquareUp and PayPal both are good options. We do not take credit cards so having your own system in place is key for making sales.
If you’re not around, we will make a sale in your absence and give you cash at the end of the night. As noted above, we do not take credit cards/checks/debit cards. If we act on your behalf during a transaction it will be cash only. We take NO COMMISSION ON SALES and will give you 100% of the cash sale at the end of the event.
After the transaction is made the buyer is allowed to take the work home with them on the spot. It is wise for you to have an extra piece on hand because you’re welcome to hang a replacement piece of equal or lesser size in the place of your sold piece. There is no extra fee for this.
You’re welcome to bring a small bin/tote/bag/etc to sell prints out of. Sorry, but we do not allow artists to set up tables to sell prints from.

We are always happy to see people dedicated to bringing art into communities that typically remain miles away from it for various reasons, such as poverty.
So when we heard about this project, called “Pachuca Paints Itself”, in central Mexico by an artists’ collective known as the German Crew, we had to feature it on Art-Pie.

The collective spent 14 months turning the steep hillside area of Las Palmitas into something a colossal and very much alive mural. It was an incredible effort to change people’s perception of a neighbourhood previously seen as rather gloomy and rough – art at its best, art to its best use.
“We have painted 209 houses. Every color represents the soul of the neighborhood. It has been a community effort as each household has participated in some way,” said project director Enrique Gomez, who goes by MYBE.
MYBE is a reformed and tattooed gang member who is now focusing all his attention on graffiti art and muralism.
– 209 house painted
– 5,000 gallons (20,000 litres) of paint used
– More than 16,000 square feet (1,500 square meters) of murals covered
Even better, we hear that thanks to the huge success of this project, another impoverished area called Cubitos, is next to be painted happy.
