It’s the Cans (not Cannes!) Festival

30th April

2008

Street artists of the world descend upon London in May for the Cans Festival, billed as a “street party of stencil art”. Artists include Lucamaleonte, Orticanoodles, John Grider, Artiste-Ouvrier and more (like some fella called Banksy, who I presume is this chap).

The festival runs from 3rd - 5th May, with the exact location revealed on Friday 2nd May at 10.30am via the official website.

Los Angeles artist Matt Burlingame is clearly insane. But hey, who cares when the product of his madness is a whole series of deranged models. Genius!
