How can anyone deny the branding coup that is Kool-Aid? It began with engaging packaging and stormed through the imaginations of children everywhere with ways to pimp the old lemonade stand, Marvel comics and atari games — both of which you could acquire with devout attention to Kool-Aid rebates.

With the ever popular animated pitcher crashing around, Kool-Aid has managed to become at once a timeless representation of youthful summer fun, mindless devotion and the mind exploding LSD-25.

1. Siloette, Paris, France 2005. Lovely. A woman on the wall and no calendar in sight.

2. The National Gallery created an exhibit of their timeless pieces in the streets of London, taking the museum to the people. The effect is quite striking, the Flickr gallery well worth perusing.

Great decay work. See 13 more pieces.

This is the first in a series of posts about graffiti art, street art, or art - whatever you want to call it. From Madrid, working as an artist since 1999, Nuria Mora’s style started fresh and continues to evolve. I like the simple color blocks and they she works them into the environment.

Recently, she has added patterns into her color blocks to nice design*sponge effect.

Her website is full of rad images of her street paintings that I couldn’t fit here. 100 % worth a visit.
