Street artist Sam3‘s been up to some good, goodness sake. Look at these two newest works of his, both of them gigantic black figures rolling away the bad vibes of the billboards they live at. What a spectacular gesture. It doesn’t even have to be about advertising, it’s just that excellent. These were painted with simple black acrylic/oil/mixed paint, whatever was free at the time, painted with rollers on long sticks. See the other one below.

Above you can see the image called : “In The Autumn Leaves Fall.” Below you’ll find a collection of similar works by Sam3, followed by the other most recent work of his, “Getting Through The Back Door.” Both of these works were done in the past few days (14th of October and 19th of October, 2009.)

Check out the details also! Notice the fine ripping skills.

Nice rip, Sam3!

SAM3 is an artist that paints big (and we mean big) as well as small shadows and silhouettes in his urban surroundings. Sometimes ironic, other times poetic, always thought provoking, his work is more than a pretty picture.

Born in Elche, Spain, SAM3 currently lives and works in Madrid, Spain. His large street murals are certainly hard to miss to say the least and can be found across much of Europe.

Info above from print shop Paper Monster. They have a couple of his works (he does etchings and such) in their store – he’s exclusive if you know what I mean. This post is part of the World Famous Design Junkies billboard category.
