Tara Heibel: Meet The 'Perfect House Plant'
A 50's Home Gets A Modern Day New Look
With spray paint strapped to their boards, a group of street artists turn an empty pool into a wild, colorful piece of art.
English street artist D*Face is known for his inventive work that takes on everything from pop art icons to Hollywood obsessions (maybe you remember his Charlie Sheen gravestone from earlier this year). But his latest project calls upon something much more simple for the real punch: Skateboards. Well, skateboards rigged with spray paint cans. He and friends Salba and Tristan take over this bland pool to create a look that they describe as both "Pollack-esque" and "so rad." We couldn't say it better. Take a look:

Ruined a really nice pool
ReplyRuined how? Considering some of the design treatments I've seen in some pools,this is attractive
Too bad the video didn't show the pool after it was filled with Water. I would have liked to see that.
ReplyThe Water would add to the special effects of the paint.
What do deals at penny auctions have in common with street art?
ReplyThat is really neat. I agree I'd like to see it after they fill it with water. What would be even cooler is to add underwater lights and see it lit up at night.
Replyglow in tha dark or black light paint would have been cool too!
ReplyVery creative, indeed!
ReplyAbandoned pool? How does a pool get abandoned? What about the property (house/land) its part of? Is the whole place now public property? How does that work?
ReplyOle grandpa rides that board pretty awesome dude!
ReplyA bunch of thieves. Good if they break their necks like most skateboarders do sooner or later.
ReplyI think the pool painting is cool as long as they don't "overdo" it and I'd like to see a pool when the paint is dry and the water is in the pool. If they play their cards right they may have a new business going....
