Does anyone know the street artist that paints large holes in the sidewalk? I think this artist may have also been in the movie No Reservations.

it's chalk art...fuck your definition.
graffiti is handstyles, throwups and pieces. calling this stuff graffiti is an insult.

Yea, this is not really graffiti... Some calls it 3d pavement art or street art. Edgar Mueller is way awesome!

it's funny the sect of people not calling this graffiti, yeah it's chalk, so it's not spray paint so it's not graffiti? i sense a bit of "this is not cool like drips and stencils, i don't want sidewalk chalk associated with my spray paint"

@version3 ...it's not about "cool like drips and stencils".
real graffiti artists risk their freedom and a lot more to be able to do what they do. this dude gets paid by corporations to do his art in public spaces.
if you actually knew what it took to pull off a burner in an illegal spot you'd get what i was saying.
i've got nothing against what this guy is doing - it's really great artwork. but calling it "graffiti" is offensive to me.

(sublocked) age old argument....What would happen if i told you you could paint anywhere on any wall and it was legal? Would you then quit because it didn't meet your def of graffiti?
