We were lucky enough here at irishstreetart.com to get to Austria over the halloween Break. Vienna is incredible and despite being warned that the nightlife can at times be a little dull, we found it to be far from tame. Shout out to Gerry, Leo, Murph, Megan and Julie. Vienna’s street art is fantastic, with Europe’s most established crews and writers leaving their mark all over the banks of the Danube. If you visit Vienna, bring a camera and be sure to stroll by the city’s river. ‘Til then enjoy a pick of Vienna’s Street Art below.
Kieran Hynes, Cork’s Graffiti Photographer 9 November 2009
Posted by Andy in Ireland.1 comment so far
From his initial exploits as part of the TNT crew to his more recent role as a street art photographer, Kieran Hynes has been a part of the Cork graffiti scene since the early 90’s.
Hynes told irishstreetart.com that back in the day ‘Cork had a big scene going on but without proper outlets and cop pressure the scene dried up with most crews at the time disbanding’.
However, Hynes kept up his interest, and in the past five years he has documented the Cork graffiti scene’s return to grace. Hynes has become familiar with most of Ireland’s top writers and his work is driven by his own writer instinct and passion for finding ’street art, be it tags,stencils or simply pieces off the beaten track’.
‘Alll respect to the artists for their work and ideas,for trying to brighten up this dull concrete jungle we all live in!’
Check out Kieran Hynes on flickr where there is over 4000 photo’s of local street art from Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and international work from Spain and Australia.

The Dublin based Artivist, Will St. Ledger, in his blog, tells us that he is in the process of finalising dates for his latest show ‘Bluetooth Fairy’. Once again St. Ledger pushs the boundries with this virtual exhibition ‘where the audience will receive my new work via Bluetooth to their mobile phones and then Bluetooth it to printers.’ The art on show will remain secret until the night of launch but if his portfolio to date is anything to go by this event should not be missed!

Pez – An international Street Art Icon 18 October 2009

Pez, fresh from taking part in the Zoo exhibition in at the brick lane gallery in London, sent us in the pick of his most recent work. The collection also includes pieces he created at Cork’s Surace Tension street art event when he visited these shores in 2007. Pez, or Fish in Spanish started, tagging on the outskirts of Barcelona in 1999. The international icon’s letters soon evolved into his now famous smiling fish. ‘The funny character’s goal was to send good vibrations to people walking in the streets and soon its family grew into a huge smile of giraffes, demons, angels and aliens.’

ADW: Bad Times – Great Street Art 13 October 2009

Fans of Street Art in the emerald isle will no doubt be familiar with ADW, the latest talent to emerge from the east coast. ADW told IrishStreetArt.com a little about his journey to date.
ADW spent 5 years studying classical animation and computer animation in Ballyfermot College. Three years were then spent in England for a computer games company before moving back to Ireland to work at doing 3D modelling.
His love for street art really started to take hold when he would pass by the hoardings at Dublin’s Bernard Shaw pub and could see the growth in the Irish Scene.
At this stage he started to experiment with stencilling and producing images. The artist told us how these images “would express the way I feel and I longed for the opportunity to devote more of my own time to my own art. The dream came true and my mind finally made up for me when the economy went tits up and found myself out of a job and creating art full time. Since then I haven’t looked back.”
In the last year or so ADW has hooked up with some really helpful and friendly people among the Irish street and art scene. But us he is currently trying to get his own show together in the coming year. Watch this space! Click here to visit ADW’s site
