currency artwork

I came across these designs by illustrator Pedro Izique today. These were created for an ad campaign for a leading Brazilian business newspaper called Gazeta Mercantil by the São Paulo office of ad agency JWT.

The print ad redesigns the Dollar, Euro and Yen with images of “some of the most important events of the last century.” Pretty cool work.

more art or graffiti comes to new york

The other day some banksy-esque pieces were put up on new york walls. Turns out though that the artwork is actually from another UK artist named nick walker. He has used his own stenciling designs, but i must say its very similar to banksy. what do you think?
