The above image entitled Crevasse is by 3D street artist Edgar Müller. His creations transform everyday surroundings into fantastical scenes. This pavement art piece was created in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland as part of the Festival of World Culture in August 2008. It’s 250-square metres and took five days to paint!

25-year-old freelance artist Erica Simmons (alias iRI5) has been doing some great work recycling cassette tapes to create images of iconic musicians (like the above one of Dylan). She’s also done the Beatles, Hendrix, and Robert Smith. To see more of the Ghost in the Machine series check out her website : irI5. Want to know more or commission your own?

I crossed paths this past weekend with artist Jack Dylan who was selling posters at Osheaga. After making some tough decisions, I bought a few including one of his Pop Montreal posters; a self-portrait Spiderman (image above). Check out his website http://jackdylan.ca to see more of his amazing illustrations or live at Pop Montreal in October. Two thumbs up for great local art.
