BuffMonster
The screenshotart of graffiti continues to branch out in new and interesting ways. Artists such as Random von NotHaus have moved beyond tags and murals to create a new urban art that uses stencil, found objects, and posters. Using the oddly cute Buff Monster as a recurring motif, NotHaus has dotted the urban landscape of L.A. with unique calling cards such as spray cans nailed to telephone poles. Part of the artist's experiment is to note the cans and track them as they disappear, are painted over, or simply decay. As graffiti artists continue to push the boundaries of street art in innovative directions, don't be surprised to find something akin to the Buff Monster popping up in your town.
