Trash Can Liner Street Art


josh-allen-harris1

Call us boring and simple-minded, but before we saw the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris we never once considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust. Using only tape and garbage bags, Harris creates giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate. Steven Psyllos caught up with Harris recently to discuss his older works (including a bear and a giraffe) and unveil a new beast that looks not unlike the Cloverfield monster. Video by Jonah Green

  1. Amazing art! I really get impress with people who can make something wonderful out from ordinary stuffs. That’s what you call CREATIVITY. :D

    P.S.
    I am already using the Topsy WP plug-in per your recommendation. You can now “retweet” my twits. :D I have noticed before that many blogs are using it and I really did not bother until you mentioned it. It was a perfect suggestion! I appreciate it much. Thanks a lot! Have a relaxing weekend!

    • So great so see you again. Yes someone recommended Topsy to me instead of another I was using, this one is better and you have great posts so it is good to have them retweeted. Hell I have over 10000 followers now, so keeping good info in my tweets like your posts keeps everyone happy :-)

  2. D

    These are so damn creative. It baffles my mind to the talent some people just have. Not to mention the talent out there that no one has ever had the pleasure of seeing.

    Cheers for recycling~

  3. I would have never imagined doing something like this, and I find myself quite creative. Amazing!

  4. wow! thats really cool :) great way of saving mother nature! thanks for sharing!

  5. Unbelievably cool! Great find Glenn. It just shows that there is no limit to the creative imagination. What a thrill for a kid to walk along the sidewalk and see one of these creations grow before their eyes.

  6. Man, if I was walking down the street on a dark night and saw that thing rising I would probably pee my pants and run for my life in the opposite direction.

    • Tony we would hate to see that happen to you. If you’re ever walking in Manhattan you never know what you might see. So do what I do and wear a pair of Depends. They really come in handy for us old guys ;-)

  7. That is absolutely AMAZING. Nothing like it in areas like ours… those are really wonderful!

    • Really is amazing, how creative people are. I am soo happy we have places like you tube now, where everyone has a chance to show off their talents and people like me are lucky enough to find them.

  8. So, is everyone’s brackets in the trash can, now?
    Mine is. It did so when Kansas lost.
