Street Artist: El Mac Miles “Mac” McGregor aka  El Mac  was born in Los Angeles in 1980 and  has been creating and studying art independently since childhood.

Nikolay Polissky Creates Towering, Handcrafted Structures Across Russia     Born in 1957 in Moscow , artist Nikolay Polissky creates impressive, handcrafted structures in the middle of Russia’s vast landscapes. Mostly carried out in the town of Nikola Lenivets – located 200 km from the Russian capital –  his works are built entirely by the area’s residents, using local materials, such as branches, trunks and wooden tables. Traditional construction techniques are used as a starting point for the projects. His work is inspiring not only because of its imposing form, but also because he managed to re-activate a semi-abandoned village through art and architecture, involving residents in the creative process and transforming the region into a sort of open cultural center. Since 2003, his work has been part of Archstoyanie , the largest Land-Art festival in Russia. Thanks Spencer Byles Like more art on Facebook      Posted by Andrew
