Reciclar e Decorar: Super Sorteio Loja Chá das Cinco
Grafitti e intervenção urbana com açúcar
Grafitti e intervenção urbana com açúcar: 
Utilizando materiais que sempre foram reservados para a decoração de bolos e doces, a artista de Montreal Shelley Miller cria em paredes de tijolos e superfícies urbanas deterioradas pelo tempo usando cobertura de bolo e desenhando pergaminhos ornamentados e motivos decorativos. O projeto interativo se chama throw-up.
Enquanto o meio em si é puramente culinário, suas ilustrações e padrões emprestam características da caligrafia e arabescos decorativos visto em templos e mesquitas. Outra dimensão interessante é a sua impermanência, pois potencialmente seu trabalho irá se modificar e desaparecer em poucos dias: com rachaduras, gotejamento e o derretimento com a temperatura, umidade e chuva, além da degustação de alguns, é claro :) Uma obra que realmente interage com o meio ambiente!

Slinkachu is a UK-based artist who creates tiny scenes on city streets that are both humorous and compelling. He photographs each scene and then leaves it to be discovered.

The urban-dweller’s relationship with wildlife is depicted interestingly in Slinkachu’s photos, with a humorous twist. A father defending his child from a bee takes a bit of a heavy handed approach that actually depicts a fairly typical reaction to bees during the summer. Deer struggle to integrate into an environment that’s not quite as clean as the pristine forests they’re known to inhabit, and of course a snail would find itself tagged with graffiti. It’s difficult to say whether the roaches in this photo are depicting protesters, or the actual fight against infestation.(Images via lenscratch, mymodernmet, streetartutopia, designwars, thisiscolossal)
In the tiny world that Slinkachu inhabits, people do the same thing they do in our much larger spaces. A creative skateboarder uses the environment to create a great half pipe, people visit KFC for a quick lunch, and an outdoor sculpture stands tall with a plaque describing the artist’s intent. There’s work to be done so a man studiously chops wood in one photo. The final photo depicts the hilarious scene of a little girl literally being carried away by the size of her bubblegum bubble.(Images via demilked, unurth, spankystokes, adore-whereveryouare)
It is fun to imagine how a little world would deal with its limitations. In a comic take on the typical urban dweller, Slinkachu portrays a tiny man struggling with his earbuds, while a family takes a trip to the local waterpark… at a storm drain. No soccer field? No problem – a little chalk solves that problem. In this tiny world, a kid walking around with a bag of Skittles turns into a kid sitting on Skittles.(Images via adore-whereveryouare, thedesigninspiration, sezio)
It would be really enjoyable to stumble on one of Slinkachu’s miniature scenes. Whether it’s a painter carefully crafting his ant portrait, or a romantic who grabbed a flower for his significant other, it pays to be more aware of one’s surroundings. Even a puddle on a sewer cover could house a mini art installation; in this case, a boy enjoying a summer swim with his floaties on.(Images via rebelart, richardlittledale, ekosystem, ageofuncertainty, dezeen)
Normal city scenes take on a whole new level (literally) when brought down to a comically small scale. These miniscule urbanites might just be painted railroad props, but they still need to dry out their clothes, mail letters, lose weight, hail a cab, and go to the ATM for some cash. They are not so different.Want More? Click for Great Related Content on WebUrbanist:

Grill Gas Flash: 15 Prettily Painted Propane Tanks
Grill Gas Flash: 15 Prettily Painted Propane Tanks: [ By Steve in Art & Street Art & Graffiti. ]
Hank Hill might look askance at any artistic affectation of “propane and propane accessories” but give the big fella his due: propane is America’s grilling gas of choice. These days propane gas tanks have found a place in urban, suburban and rural settings with some owners choosing to beautify them so they’ll fit in even better.
(images via: Instructables and That’s Nerdalicious)
Ever notice how those dime a dozen 20lb portable propane tanks look sorta like LEGO heads? Will painting one yellow and adding minimalist facial features help? Yes and yes – and the gang at Instructables shows you exactly how to get ahead, so to speak, in the LEGO head lookalike propane tank game.
(images via: Junk Market Style)
Watermelons give you gas, who knew? All it takes is a little imagination (plus a couple of old coat hangers and some wooden beads) and that rusty old propane tank will be looking as cool as a cucumber… or, well, some other large green edible.

Is T.J. Darwin really “The Propane Picasso”? Undoubtedly the late Spanish artist would be impressed by the colorful and elaborate tableaux Darwin displays on water and propane tanks. The 46-year-old Darwin finds plenty of tanks to practice on in propane-dependent Idyllwild, CA, and a previous stint in the art department at FAO Schwartz allowed him to hone his illustrating skills. “I like the three-dimensional surface,” stated Darwin to a reporter from the local Press-Enterprise newspaper. “It tells a story.” Even more so once Darwin finishes with it.

Who says painted propane tanks have to be wild & wooly when merely wooly is more than enough? Alexandra Orton whipped up “Fluffy” for the All the King’s Horses Children’s Ranch in Benson, AZ.

Artist Sally Cruikshank isn’t exactly a jet-setter but her hand-painted propane tank sure is and it’s anything but “plane”. Better keep that tank filled with propane and not Red Bull – all it needs is wings and it’s gone, man.

The talented folks at GrabCAD show that the art of propane tank decoration need not be a low-tech endeavor. According to Kastle at GrabCAD, the basic concept was downloaded from 3dcontentcentral and modified for use in a personal project. Sure hope this terrific tank sees the light of day someday!

The creative crew from Instructables is at it again, this time transforming a clapped out but still serviceable propane tank into the hottest jack-o-lantern this side of Halloweentown. Word to the wise: this is one “pumpkin” you’ll NOT want to light up with a lit candle.
(images via: Tailgating Ideas)
You gotta support the team and where face-painting leaves off, propane tank painting picks up… or maybe that should be, kick’s off. Tailgating Ideas’ reader Mike from Severn, Maryland, shared his tank decorating technique and as you might guess, it takes both time and talent. Especially the former, as applying the pigskin-like dimples to the tank took hours using the blunt end of a toothpick.

If you’re determined to restore a 1956 Shasta “canned ham” style trailer the right way, then leaving out the twin propane tanks is not an option. Don’t these look great all decked out in Mint Green & White divided by a staggered silver stripe?

Don’t tell Mitt Romney but propane-powered submarines went out with horses and bayonets. There’s one cheerfully painted holdover, however, deep in the heart of Texas and as pretty as a yellow rose. A little Plaid acrylic paint topped with Valspar outdoor sealer ensures this sweet sub will sail on through any type of weather.

Chuck Bauman’s famed for his flames and deservedly so – the dude’s a master of the art of Realistic Flames Airbrushing! Some might say painting a propane tank with realistic flames is just asking for trouble but we disagree: it’s more like asking for admiring comments, and getting them.

If your cow emits propane instead of methane, you just might be drawing a combustible concoction from a moo-tifully modified storage tank. If not, you’ve just plugged the grill fueling hose into a very unhappy bull.
(images via: Plaid Red)
It’s a bird, it’s a tank, it’s a… tank painted up to look like a bird. Won’t be the first time someone’s had to gas up the T-bird but anyway, this tank was originally supposed to be a rooster but the artist’s unchecked creativity soon led her off the beaten track into a very different place. Not that we’re complaining, the end result looks anything but cheep.

Lessee now, propane or Prozac? You’re gonna need a whole lot of the latter if you just filled your 500-gallon propane tank and the grill decides to self-destruct. Luckily there’s a solution – sitting on somebody’s lawn in Milan (some say Red Hook), New York is the world’s biggest Prozac pill. You might think you’ll need a BIG glass of water to get that sucker down but good news everyone… it’s a suppository.

You don’t have to love propane (and propane accessories) as much as Strickland Propane’s Hank Hill but a little TLC can go a long way towards beautifying your yard. Propane tanks whether portable or permanent are easily visible so make sure they’re visually appealing – with a little imagination and some elbow grease who knows how your tank or tanks will end up?
