Sean takes some great photos, he got down to the C215 street art exhibition in London earlier this year and came away with some really interesting pics of C215 at work and the finished pieces.

Check out the full set C215 of photos on the Sean Patrick Samuels photography site, there are a load of sets of street art, all with a that little bit extra style (nice change from my shitty camera phone…). The Street Girls photos are excellent too.

Got a bunch of great photos here of New York street art from the book, it’s packed with goodness. The book features loads of artists like Banksy, Nik Walker, C215, INVADER and lots more.

The Benefit and the Artists

The Benefit, to be held at one of New York’s epicenters for the thriving new Street Art scene, Factory Fresh Gallery, will feature a great selection of street artists joining together for one night to benefit NYC kids from disadvantaged backgrounds.

They say it’ll very likely be the largest collection of 2010’s street artists in one location, so it’s got to be worth a visit.
