PHLEGM

ORIGIN: UK

PHLEGMCOMICS.COM

Phlegm is the best illustrative artist in street art hands down. His imaginative and refreshing art is something you would see in a comic book or the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. Truly one of the best street artist living or dead.

ZILDA

FRANCE

FLICKR.COM/ZILDA

Zilda has become one of my favorite artists recently. His artistic depictions of Italian movies and classical themes are brilliant and some of the coolest imagery I have ever seen.

BLU
FRANCE
BLUBLU.ORG

Simply put, if you are looking for politically charged imagery with thought provoking meaning then Blu is the Zeus of that.

JR

FRANCE

JR-ART.NET

JR is masterful. Truly some of the most profound and beautifully done artwork I have ever laid my eyes on. From a technical standpoint he is the best of the list.

BANKSY

UK

BANKSY.CO.UK

This was a close race between JR and Banksy. In a world where being well known as a street artist is a "no no" Banksy has still managed to stay mysterious. This is the most popular street artist in the world and his work is witty, humorous, political and beautiful.
