he street campaign has been created by German street art collective Mentalgassi, in collaboration with Brothers and Sisters and its creative team, Lisa Jelliffe and Kirsten Rutherford.
The art installation depicts a close-up of Troy Davis’ face, which is only visible to those approaching the fence. Front on, the image becomes invisible. The plaques posted on fences around Soho alert passers-by to an Amnesty website where they can sign a petition calling for justice for Davis.

Mr. Puppet, graff artist from Sweden
This past week we launched the Australian section of Bomb It 2. I was especially excited to go to Australia to meet graffiti and street artists because I had been a fan for years and it was economics that prevented us from including the country in the first Bomb It. I was also excited because it meant that Bomb It had now covered our sixth continent of global graffiti and street art (next stop Antarctica!)
First stop was the remote city of Perth (making it about a 22 hour plane flight from Los Angeles). I had the pleasure of meeting Stormie Mills whose work is some of the most incredible I have seen in 5 years of filmming – but he is also one of the nicest people I have met on my travels (and I have had the great fortune of meeting a ton of wonderful people.) Stormie is very eloquent about his work (why he works primarily in black, white, gray and silver) as well as the city of Perth.
UN Blast Wall from Combat Commo on Vimeo.
Combat Comms was commissioned to post-up a newly constructed blast wall at a UN compound. The wall is made of organic materials and was created as an alternative to the ugly concrete and Hesco style blast walls that surround Kabul like a plague of rats in a city under siege.
Is this the Talibanksy at work?
