I heart eco street art.
Graffiti art crimes are an inherent part of the urban jungle, each piece teetering on the wall of appreciation. Lately a form of street art is emerging that tips the scales towards applause and accolades.
Enter, ‘eco-street art.’
In a general sense, it is art that uses nature as a template, painting with various natural elements or enhancing awareness to the overlooked nature within the city. As this genre of art proliferates, I hope it will shine a spotlight on environmental issues and change the way we view our surroundings- possibly tightening our relationship with the natural world. Or at the very least, ignite a sense of wonder as we pass through our busy day.
Think outside the box. – An art project by Sean Martindale.
I love this piece of eco-art, it’s a great metaphor for our environment. ‘We can make things better, let the green ideas flow.’
‘Cheerleader’ By- Sandrine Estrade Boulet
An eco street art project created for the social networking movement, ‘Green Drinks’ and hosted by the ‘Eco Store’ in New Zealand.

these are super awesome.
Clever stuff. I’d like to see more examples.
this is the coolest. i shared your post on facebook with some people who i think would really enjoy. thank you.
Its a really good combination of street art and eco-design, integrating “green” in our urban lives! Like it. Our blog is also related with environment, design and many other related issues. Check it out!

They’re awesome and cute! People there must be very creative.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be on the lookout now for eco street art in my city!
These are great. I will think of the cheerleader every time I see a tuft of grass in the sidewalk.
Me too!
the same here ….wow it’s awsome
This is so cool. I love the first one.

Particularly love the grass overflow at the foot of tree. For me there’s something extra about one that doesn’t involve the human figure – thanks for sharing these, great stuff

Terrific pieces, alot better than some of the expensive “comissioned” art works cities buy.
Love the Cheerleader!!
Coolness…..
So creative!
Love these! Thanks for spreading the idea.

Hey xD follow me!! I’m new
Street art rules!
Not something you see everyday
Thanks for this kind
These made me smile. I’m an artist living in Norway. I’m working on a large installation for 2013 using trash from the coastlines, focussing on ocean pollution. I’m going to follow your blog and look forward to being inspired. Glad you were Fresh Pressed. Congratulations!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I hope my future posts will interest you:)
Your art installation reminded me of this picture —-> http://on.fb.me/oceanfb

art just really great! there’s something in each pictures that makes it interesting..:)
great stuff feel like going out and diong some stuff myself!
Some of these are really imaginative, and some must take a long time to do. I hope they last well so lots of people can enjoy them. Eco-street art is a good name but street gardening is also possible if these plants are growing.
This is real street art!
Great post!

I thought these were great.
Lovely images on fun street art!
How inspirational! Congrats on being FP!
Wow these are really cool especially the second to last photo!
Best street art ever seen!
wow these are so cool! I wish we had stuff like this in Vancouver. As it is, our street art/graffiti here is not exactly the best, especially since Jerm IX moved to Toronto!
Fantastic street art, really clever and imaginative. Quite Banksy-esque! Love it.
This is beautiful. Is that actually moss growing in the wall on the “F” line. That’s fabulous. Actually all of these are fabulous. Kudos to the artists. I hope it catches on.
Some of my high school students have tried their own version of this. I’ll have to show them these examples. Thanks for sharing!

LOVE THESE!
These are really clever I LOVE it!

Organic Green Roots always has the most innovative information on art, gardening, and mindful living. Love it
This is awesome!
Haha these are so creative! Great use of art + nature
Ditto to what Mandy says! it IS awesome
Very creative. You can see a lot of possibilities out there walking down the street.
These are so inspiring
Love it! Thank you for sharing!!
great post! i love the photos especially the grass overflow.. hope to find some street art myself the next time i take a walk…
awesome art!
Urban zen…gotta love it. Thanks for the inspiration, and congratulations on being FP.
This is amazing and I am so glad you shared. I am inspired to keep my own eyes peeled for eco art opportunities! Wickedly amazing!

Very imaginative. These works remind me of the Arby’s in Colonial Heights, Va. They have cattle, a cowboy on a horse, etc. that are actually living statues.
absolutely ingenious stuff!
The photo is nice. Thanks you.
Very clever. Just love them all!
I’ve never seen such creative and environmentally- motivated work of art in my life. Whoah! Breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for sharing this to us!
Brilliant stuff!
These are wonderful! Ive never seen anything like them.
This is art in a way I never thought of before, but I will be looking for it now. So clever! And thank you for sharing.
wow.. superb!
cheering leading one is my fav.
I love the idea of combining street art and nature. They’re great!
I too enjoy the mix of nature and art. I am content to see big sculpture in green natural settings, and don’t care whether the “art” itself is made of grass or other eco materials. I like the idea that the eco art is alive & changing as it grows.
This is really beautiful. Hope to see such art in our community
wow, amazing!!!
Words cannot express the creative of these art works.
THX FOR SHARING.
these are so creative, thanks for sharing!
I have to agree with you – awesome work!
I simply love the idea of having some eco art in my street!
These pictures just take you away!
i love the third one.
Great Post.
Would you mind if i ” Re Post ” with another perspective (Scientist Theme )?. I will appear this Sites on my Blog. Thank You.
Yes, feel free to repost. Thanks:)
Great post! Thanks for sharing! I love street art, but “eco” street art is definitely my new favorite!
This is batshit. A great way to go out and make street art and never look suspicious…
Thanks for sharing! I love it!
I relented and came on over. Now I’m smiling. These are like a breath of fresh air– in more ways than one.
this is so much creative art !
so cool!
Very beautiful and such a caring thing to do. It’s showing that people do care for the environment. I’ve seen the pre-last one on Facebook but never spotted the others. Thanks for this.
Amazing! I would like to see this everywhere. Once I made a figure with some rocks on the street and people looked at me like a freak. This pics make me feel like I want to do it again!
This is amazing…. never seen such thing before
BRILLIANT! I love it! Inspired!
outstanding street art. Deserves praise.

Live plants add natural beauty. Plants need water to live, clean water. Not only plants. Water sources are increasingly under threat. Recently water is poisoned with shale gas extraction. This is happening on a large scale in the U.S.. And now begins in my country – Poland. In Poland are beautiful rivers and lakes, but will be poisoned. For the wicked profit. Necessarily see the movie “Gasland”.
Thanks for sharing! Really cool!
Inspiring.. Thank you for sharing.. I particularly love the third one-cheer leader
Wow, I love this. I recently found a piece of Eco Stree art, where I live in Tallinn, Estonia, so it really is sort of a ‘movement’…. nice
Beautiful! I’m awed!
VERY COOL!
I only got the chance to see one of this street eco art display on Bilbao (Spain), love all the ones you showed here!

I am in awe.
Love, love, love it!
A wonderful collection of some really creative work. This is quite an interesting trend and while I’ve seen some of these before, I never thought to categorize them as eco street art. Clever idea!
wow these are brilliant! love it <3
How fun! These are so neat, and so beautiful.
Fantastic Creations.
Keep it up
Keep Creating
Best Regards

Wowsers! Thanks for sharing this…amazing stuff. Absolutely loved the ‘thinking outside the box’ concept and that funky snail! Brilliant…
Beautiful, clever, funny, original! Thanks for sharing and congrats on being Freshly Pressed.
Those are awesome. I haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing any eco art in my neighborhood… any tips on where there may be any fun things on display in LA?
Beautiful post .. thanks for sharing!!

They are all fantastic – especially, I love the Slinkachu-snail! may it enjoy it’s tagged little house for years and not become victim of art collectors or some ignorant foot. ^^
I Love This! There’s going to be a lot of eco-art in MY house!
Thanks for sharing this…its awesome..!!!
great efforts
Reblogged this on lifeline..
neat works of art! love the “Tara”.
This is really nice. To suddenly go from country to city 3 months ago it struck me how much green was missing! Would love to see more of this around London.
I love these but I actually feel bad for the snail. I hope the paint is non-toxic.
This is more than fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us!
These are beautiful! We literally need them in our offices (when we get those)!
Very good, luv the snail
John the Snail, we meet again! Ha, just kidding but that snail was too cute! Its amazing how innovative artists can be, integrating art and nature like that. Makes that saying “the world is my canvas” all the more true. I’d like to see how artists would improvise eco-art in more arid climates like…Clyde the Cactus!
i really like these photos they are very amazing and eco freindly
I love this art movement. I’ve only seen one example of it before this but I am definitely going to learn more about it. My parents are really into gardening so I grew up with vegetable gardens, herb gardens and rain barrels.
WOW I love this so much! It’s way cool
Creative people never cease to amaze me! This eco-friendly art is superb.
Wonderful…very green!
