Hammering the message home
Jack have designed and installed a special build that delivers a stark message to gig goers at Camden Crawl for Action on Hearing Loss. They are the official charity partner for Camden Crawl and want to raise awareness that loud music can seriously damage hearing – permanently.
Situated on a 48-sheet billboard outside Camden Town tube station for two weeks, the visual speaks for itself. A gigantic nail is driven deep into a young guy’s ear. Ouch! The image represents the torment that can occur for sufferers of hearing loss and tinnitus. This campaign targets music lovers to encourage them to use proper protection during aural pleasure!
Oak Oak Street Art
We love Oak Oak. This what we think of as “pure” street art: modifying existing items in the street through one individual’s own creativity to create something funny that makes viewers smile..
Paris Murals
One of the team saw this lovely piece in Paris. The photos are in context, but old so viewers are looking back in time.
Simple street art that really jumps out.
Grand Piano
Why I didn’t post this when it came out in the news is beyond me, as we thought this was world class.
Stick a grand piano somewhere completely mental and generate millions of views worldwide. The best bit is that it was an effort by a young guy to get into art school. Surely he deserves a scholarship?
Street Blackboards
A simple interactive idea that demands people write their remarks and thoughts on this blackboard

Window Poetry
A very simple, but clever idea. Experimental poetry I guess.

Gum Voting Poster
What a great use for chewing gum: put it on a poster to vote for either candidate. Old school but clever.
Rice Field Art
Better than crop circles eh?

Streetartview
Yes Red Bull are a client, but this is a fantastic resource which displays street art pieces via Google Street View around the world. It’s a permanent database, so even if pieces go, the reference stays online. Great work.
