Check out this amazing compilation of street art 3D murals that will leave you speechless!
These artists are real masters of painting balloons, and they create artworks that will impress everyone!
Here's more information about the artists:
1. Odeith is a creative artist from Portugal. He was born in 1976, in Damaia, and held a spray can for the first time in the middle of 1980s, but it was in the 1990s when graffiti began to spread throughout Portugal and to leave its Portuguese birthplace, Carcavelos, that the artist had his first contact with graffiti and the movement.
His first experiences were sketched on street walls and train tracks, and the passion he had always shown for drawing had a newly found purpose and began to evolve. Not long after came the opportunity to paint large-scale murals in Damaia, Carcavelos, and in many social housing neighbourhoods, such as Cova da Moura, 6 de Maio and Santa Filomena.
Each mural requires a different amount of time to be made; the small insects on some abandoned place will take a day, if it's something bigger it may take from 2 to 6 days
Odeith says that the biggest trick to making murals look realistic is how you use the light and the shadows; depending where you put it the piece will have a greater impact, and really pops out from the wall.
He doesn't really know if there's a specific description for what he does, but you might call it "creepy 3D".
He likes to paint in abandoned places, because the ambient around them fits perfectly for his style.
When he sees some textured walls and a dirty floor, he starts to think about what would perfectly fit on there.
For Odeith, his best mural ever is his Louisiana - Baton Rouge - Alligator piece.
He takes inspiration from nature, and in particular likes the texture and shape of little creatures. Sometimes he’s influenced in his work by the news or social problems.
Odeith was probably the first artist to make graffiti letters on corners, and when he started publishing them online in 2005 the response was really amazing. That made him keep going, and he tried to bring something different to the street art world every time. Corners are still his favorite challenge.
He finds the situation in street art amazing nowadays, because everywhere the number of artists and the different styles seem to be growing everyday!

2. WD (Wild Drawing) was born and raised on Bali, Indonesia, and has degrees in both fine arts and applied arts.
He started off as an urban artist in 2000, and from that time on he has spent most of his time working on the streets, although he has never stopped working in his studio.
He has held solo exhibitions and participated in group shows and graffiti/street art festivals in Asia, Europe and America.
Furthermore, WD's work has been featured in books for Street Art globally. His East/West cultural background is combined in a unique way that makes his style so recognisable.
He focuses on large-scale murals that he creates with a roller brush and acrylic paints. WD always interacts with the spot where he is working by incorporating various elements of it into his work, so there is harmony between the mural and the place where it was created.
His work, which is done in a realistic style (mostly anamorphic), is influenced by comics, graphic novels, and fantasy art, while he mainly gets his inspiration from social phenomena, lifestyle trends, art, or nature. What he loves about street art is the unique freedom of expression and the fact that it’s freely accessible to everyone regardless of social, economic, cultural or other differences.
Through his art, has the chance to speak about the big issue of the re-appropriation of public space. These aspects outweigh the ephemeral nature of his art. After all, if he was interested in making works that stand the test of time, he would just do canvas paintings. WD is based in Athens, Greece.

I directed this documentary film series with Upper Playground on different contemporary artists from my extended community of friends, collaborators, homeys, and hero's.

It was my first time working with the magazine and my photo made the front cover! I was hyped but it didn't last because I mistakingly printed her real name in the article which at the time was still on the low. I didn't get the memo but I sure got the beef.

Oh, you've seen her: from New York's P.S. 1 and Deitch Projects to Hui No'eau on Maui and Berlin's gritty street corners. Notorious for constructing a giant floating raft and sailing it down river (twice!), she is neither a pirate nor a street artist. And even if her real name is known these days, that is also neither here nor there. Join us as we swing by Berlin's Urban Art Info Gallery to see what else the ineffable Swoon has got up her sleeve in Gestalten.tv's latest interview.

The street is a space where art thrives, and a place where artists can shape the public aesthetic. Olek, a sculpture who knits, and Swoon, a mixed media artist, disrupt daily life with work that creates wonder, emotion, and humor. Equally at home in museums and galleries, both artists also create installations that challenge the formats of traditional art spaces. With powerful layers of meaning, beautiful aesthetics, and using unique media, these two prolific creators are pushing the boundaries of contemporary art.

Renowned for her delicate paste ups and large scale installation work, New York artist, Swoon, recently made a trip to Melbourne for her first Australian exhibition, Thekla, at the Metro Gallery in Armadale. The petite artist was run off her feet when we visited her in the gallery, but she managed to sit down with us to chat about her upbringing, her artistic process and future projects. In this nice little film by ACCLAIM lads, Louis Mitchell and Michael Danischewski, she spoke extensively about space, context and participation and how these inspire and impact her work. www.acclaimmag.com
