These needle and hook crafts can be used to create blankets, clothing, table cloths and even curtains. Knitting and crochet have now found their way into street art, as yarn graffiti.

 

Yarn Bombing creates Colorful Shrapnel

Crochet and knit graffiti is sometimes known as “yarn bombing”. The craft street artist will most often create their piece in the quiet of their own homes, before constructing the art work on its intended surface. Yarn graffiti is not limited to any one surface. It has been found on trees, hand rails, fences and hanging from bridges.

Grandma’s Tree Cozy

One of the more well-known yarn designs is a crochet tea cozy. These are essentially a woolen covering that is placed over a hot tea pot to keep it warm. In the images below, a similar covering has been created to cover these trees in a public park, transforming an ordinary public space into a fantastic wonderland.

Yarn Bombed Statues

Statues appear to be one of the favorite subjects for crochet and knit artists to graffiti. These life -like representations of the human form make a perfect base for a statement, and crafters will often either dress them in crochet items in much the same way that a living person would wear crochet clothing, or pose a crafted creature with the statue. Unlike paint graffiti, these street art works don’t vandalize or damage property. The crochet art can simply be cut away and discarded.

Barbed Wire and Doilies

Fences make ideal canvases for crochet and knit graffiti artists. These structures have plenty of places where a yarn artist can attach their crafted street art. Crochet seems to be the yarn bomber’s choice of craft for fence decoration, as it is easy to make flowers, birds, butterflies and other decorative elements in crochet.

5 Funny YMCA Spoofs http://reducethepanic.com/2011/12/11/5-funny-ymca-spoofs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=5-funny-ymca-spoofs http://reducethepanic.com/2011/12/11/5-funny-ymca-spoofs/#comments Sun, 11 Dec 2011 09:51:27 +0000 Catherine South http://reducethepanic.com/?p=643 more]]> The song Y.M.C.A was released by The Village People in 1978 and quickly shot to the top of the music charts. Decades later, the song and it’s accompanying dance is still popular, and has inspired a number of funny spoof images.

 

The Blonde Version of the YMCA

In this YMCA spoof photo, four grinning girls pose their arms to create the letters Y,M,C and A. It must have been a blonde’s idea, though, because the word is inverted. The brunette should have known better. Unless she’s just an undercover blonde.

Star Wars YMCA

Stormtroopers are highly recognizable characters from the Star Wars films. They have been parodied in dozens of Stormtrooper fan art works, giving any spoof a humorous aspect with their ridiculous plastic armor.

Jesus Blasphemous YMCA

This image uses a sculpture of Jesus Christ to create the Y letter in the sequence. The grinning people who make up the rest of the abbreviation have used distance in the image to create a funny optical illusion; although the statue of Jesus is enormous, the distance between it and the foreground figures makes it seem smaller.

McDonalds gets Super Sized in Art http://reducethepanic.com/2011/12/11/mcdonalds-gets-super-sized-in-art/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mcdonalds-gets-super-sized-in-art http://reducethepanic.com/2011/12/11/mcdonalds-gets-super-sized-in-art/#comments Sun, 11 Dec 2011 09:10:35 +0000 Catherine South http://reducethepanic.com/?p=634 more]]> Since its humble beginnings in the 1940s, the McDonalds franchise has grown to become a globally recognized fast food restaurant. It now serves around 64 million customers in 119 countries each day. Because of its bright color scheme and recognizable mascots, McDonalds has found a place in fan art. It has also earned the dubious honor of being the subject of propaganda art.

 

Ronald McDonald’s Wife

Ronald McDonald, the franchise’s clown mascot, wears a red and white striped shirt beneath a yellow waistcoat, a red curly wig and a red nose. The mascot is displayed in nearly every form of McDonalds advertising and media. The picture below shows an artist’s interpretation of what Ronald McDonald’s wife would look like, basing her clothing and make-up on the McDonalds clown mascot.

Why so Happy Meal?

In a spoof of the Joker character played by actor Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, the Joker is shown dressed as Ronald McDonald. This fan art throws a shadow on the normally cheerful McDonalds characters, parodying the Joker’s favorite phrase, “Why so serious?” with “Why so Happy Meal?”

Ronald McDonald gets Super Sized

Ron English promotes propaganda through his art works, encouraging the public to take a good hard look at many of the things that we take for granted. In the piece shown below, English portrays the Ronald McDonald mascot as an overweight clown. This is a comment on the obesity epidemic that is currently taking place in America, pointing a very chubby, super sized finger at McDonalds food as a direct cause of the weight problems.

Death by French Fries

In the documentary film, Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock conducted an experiment to determine the life span of McDonalds menu items. The McDonalds french fry was portrayed as being near immortal, barely degrading even though weeks had passed. Though the artist’s intention with the food art work below is not clear, there is a definite link between the seemingly innocent french fry and death. Perhaps the message is that McDonald’s french fries are so far from being organic that the food itself is dead.

Ronald McDonald the Obese

In another controversial art work, the art has depicted the Ronald McDonald clown as being grossly obese. The art work comments on the fact that though McDonalds fast food has been linked to obesity, the McDonalds media characters are slender and healthy.

A dish is first experienced through the eyes, which means that if we perceive a dish to be beautiful, we are more likely to believe it will be delicious.

Ever been told, “Have a heart”? Well, you can have as many as you want, with these anatomical tattoos of the human body, which ironically, are tattooed on the human body.

 

Inside Out Tattoo Designs

Anatomical tattoos are visual representations of the inside of the human body, whether it be bones, muscle or internal organs. Often, anatomy tattoos are placed to create an X-ray effect, showing the parts of the body that lie directly beneath the body art design. The inside out tattoo design below shows the muscles of the arm, as though the skin has been torn away from that area.

Open Your Heart Tattoo

The human heart is a surprisingly colorful organ, with contrasting colors of red and blue. These colors are aesthetically pleasing in tattoos. An interesting tattoo art work is created by contrasting the organic shapes of the heart organ with a man-made, repetitive pattern such as the zipper.

The story and its players have become so popular that several movies have been made and dozens of illustrations created to continue telling the story of Alice in Wonderland. For many, a way to express their enjoyment of the nonsensical tale is to have a fan art tattoo inked of one or more of the Alice characters.

 

Tattoos of Alice in Wonderland

The story is centered on a pre-Victorian era girl, Alice. One day she walks out, and finds herself in a marvellous adventure, as told in the book. It is said that Lewis Carroll based the character on Alice Liddell, a child friend of his. Shown below are Alice tattoo designs, from John  Tenniel, Scott Olive and Walt Disney Studios.
