Go Find It

Hi, my name is Mark and I am one of the editors from UK Street Art. We run a site that showcases UK artists at home and abroad. The site is a great resource for information on street art, graffiti, exhibitions and a whole lot more.

Sam3 has been putting his mark on Madrid recently. The image above is titled “In The Autumn Leaves Fall” and is of a huge black figure rolling back the the previous pastings of the billboards in which they live. Painted with rollers on sticks, using paint that was available at the time, these figures are simple yet a highly effective.

You can pick up some prints by Sam3 over at Paper Monster, priced at $150 upwards. View some more of Sam3’s work on his blog

This weekend I am really hoping for sunny weather. The reason for this is Hampstead Heath- the amazing London park which you might recognize from the Notting Hill movie. After not being able to join my friends the last couple of times that they went there, I am really hoping to be able to join this weekend.

Parks are of course great in the summer but actually Hampstead Heath is supposed to be at its most beautiful in autumn. Just imagine all the colours, orange and red leaves and the cold autumn air. Just perfect for a walk on a sunny Sunday. Even better than sleeping till late.

I’ve never been to Amsterdam but I’ve heard it’s supposed to be quite a place. I was actually looking for something else on the map today when I decided just to have a quick look on Amsterdam. I was stunned; Amsterdam is filled with cool places.

I know that Sergi’s friends were going to Amsterdam not long ago and he listed a few cool places already but I felt the need to write a post about Amsterdam myself. Not because I have a specific place to tell you about but because there’s so much places pinned out on the map that I don’t even know where to start if I ever visit Amsterdam.

However, I know I’d love to go to this café that’s only open on Sundays, but most of all I’d love to visit Red light fashion district. Surely the Red light district is known for other things than fashion, but the transformation that has been made after designers was allowed to borrow some of the red lit windows, is supposedly amazing. Reading about it I’m convinced that this is one of the trendiest places you can visit in Europe at the moment.  What do you think?
