    Visual Noise: Walls Talk - Textile Street Art

    WHEN LACE HITS THE STREETS!  For Episode 22, TRP613 and Urban Ninja sit down with TEXTILE STREET ART — @textilestreetart, a Berlin-based artist doing something very different with the streets. Forget spray cans and traditional paste-ups for a minute… She’s putting LACE on the walls! Textile Street Art has developed a unique style using the centuries-old craft of tatting — creating intricate lace patterns and bringing them into the urban environment. The contrast is amazing: delicate, handmade lace meeting concrete, brick, graffiti and the rough surfaces of the city. Her journey into textile street art really took off during the 2020 lockdown. Daily walks through Berlin brought her into closer contact with the city's street-art scene. What began as a pastime evolved into experimenting with tatting and finding ways to bring this traditional craft into public spaces. And here's one of the coolest things about her work: She doesn't necessarily expect you to leave it on the wall. Textile Street Art encourages people to take pieces home. The idea is that street art belongs to everyone — and instead of simply creating something for people to look at, the work can actually become something they carry away with them. Her work has also travelled well beyond Berlin. Textile Street Art has participated in international paste-up and street-art projects, including a major collaboration in Philadelphia alongside artists including Urban Ninja, RX Skulls, Captain Eyeliner and Cheer Up. That one has a pretty strong Visual Noise connection! 😎 She's also been involved with the Berlin PasteUp community and has worked on collective walls with numerous Berlin artists. But there's another side to Textile Street Art that makes this conversation even more interesting. She's become an outspoken supporter of women and LGBTQ+ artists, challenging some of the gatekeeping and imbalance she sees within the street-art world. Her philosophy is about creating opportunities and making room for artists who haven't always had the same access or recognition. From lace to walls, Textile Street Art proves that street art doesn't have to be loud to make an impact! THE WALLS ARE TALKING. ARE YOU LISTENING?

    Visual Noise: Walls Talk - Chilly Willy

    WELCOME TO CHILLY WILLY’S IGLOO!  For Episode 21, TRP613 and Urban Ninja sit down with CHILLY WILLY, the sticker artist behind one of the coolest characters in the street sticker scene — a little skateboarding penguin who has been getting around the world one slap at a time. Chilly Willy’s love for the classic penguin character goes way back. The original Chilly Willy cartoon character was created in 1953, and the artist adopted the penguin as his own artistic identity because “Chilly Willy” had also been a nickname of his throughout his life. His studio is appropriately called Chilly Willy’s Igloo.  But there’s WAY more to Chilly Willy than just making stickers. He is a serious sticker trader. Chilly Willy says he puts stickers up daily and trades artwork with artists around the world. He even catalogs and photographs the stickers he receives — turning his collection into a kind of living record of the international sticker community. 🎬 He helped create STICKER MOVIE. Chilly Willy teamed up with filmmaker Agent5Smith after the two connected through a sticker trade. That conversation eventually became the starting point for Sticker Movie, a documentary about the worldwide sticker-art community. The film brings together sticker artists, collectors and “slap taggers” from around the world and looks at the culture behind the art. His toolbox is basically EVERYTHING. Stencils. Stamps. Spray paint. Glitter pens. Sharpies. Markers. Watercolours. Crayons. Chilly Willy describes his approach as experimenting with whatever materials he can get his hands on and embracing those unexpected “happy accidents.” Collaboration is a huge part of his world. He has worked with artists from outside the United States and describes those international collaborations as an important part of his artistic growth. He also enjoys jumping into collaborative sticker projects and incorporating elements and techniques from other artists into his own penguin character. And then there’s the message behind that little penguin… Chilly Willy sees his character as a way of bringing humour, positivity and a little bit of fun into the concrete jungle. Instead of adding more negativity to the streets, he wants people to see a goofy penguin and hopefully crack a smile.  Visual Noise: Walls Talk has always been about the people behind the stickers, the wheatpaste and the walls — and Chilly Willy has spent years helping connect  THE WALLS ARE TALKING.

Her books tell the stories behind the artists, the art, and the people putting their work into the streets.

And there’s a cool Visual Noise connection… Canadian sticker artist catchoo, who appeared on Visual Noise: Walls Talk Episode 7, is one of the artists featured in Volume 3! Deelaruze’s book has also been described as bringing together sticker artists from roughly a dozen countries, showing just how international the sticker scene has become. Deelaruze isn’t just documenting other artists. Her own work crosses between street art, stickers, drawings and mixed media.

    Visual Noise: Walls Talk - RADE

    This episode we’re talking STICKERS, SLAPS & TORONTO STREET ART with Toronto sticker artist Rade — aka @radekfu! Rade has been making his mark in Toronto’s sticker scene, putting his work out on the streets and becoming part of the city’s ever-growing slap culture.

His work has also been featured in Toronto street-art posts and sticker meetups, showing just how connected he is to the local sticker community. And there’s a cool connection to the Visual Noise family too — Urban Ninja has posted about Rade’s silk-screen slaps, giving us another reason to sit down and talk about the Toronto sticker game.

    Visual Noise: Walls Talk - TERP

    Visual Noise: Walls Talk is back with Episode 18, and this time TRP613 and Urban Ninja head north to Sweden to talk with TERP (@terpstreetart) — a veteran of the international sticker art scene from Umeå, northern Sweden. TERP has been creating street art since around 2000, originally working with stickers, stencils and paste-ups before eventually focusing heavily on stickers. For TERP, the sticker isn't just a piece of art — it's a way of interacting with the city and challenging the constant stream of advertising and commercial imagery that surrounds us. His approach to sticker art is particularly interesting because he sees stickers as a kind of direct democracy. They're inexpensive, easy to put up, and just as importantly, they're easy to remove. That temporary quality gives the work a different relationship with public space than traditional murals or permanent installations. TERP's artwork ranges from funny and colourful designs to darker, strange and surreal imagery. One example documented in Stockholm features a beautifully detailed, vintage-style pineapple illustration, while another TERP sticker uses a creepy vintage family scene with a horror/zombie twist. His work often has that distinctive mixture of old-school imagery, humour and weirdness that makes a sticker stand out when you encounter it on the street. Another huge part of TERP's career is collaboration. He's been deeply involved in sticker trades and has created dozens of collaborative designs with artists from around the world. His iconic Molotov imagery frequently gets incorporated into collaborations with other artists, creating a constantly evolving collection of TERP pieces. Being based in Umeå, a smaller city in northern Sweden, also played an important role in his development. TERP used the internet and international sticker trades to connect with artists outside Sweden and bring an international sticker culture back to his own city — helping introduce a medium that wasn't particularly common there when he started. His reach has definitely gone beyond Sweden. TERP was included in the STICKERS exhibition and reference book documenting hundreds of sticker artists from around the world, and he has participated in international street-art events, including the 2024 Zagreb Street Art Festival, where artists from 44 countries were represented. TERP was also recognized as the World Wide Street Sticker Award 2023 Artist of the Year, another indication of the impact he's had on the international sticker community. In Episode 18, TRP613 and Urban Ninja get into TERP's history, his creative process, sticker trading, collaborations, the evolution of his art, and what it's like building an international network of artists through something as simple — and powerful — as a sticker. From the streets of Umeå to sticker walls around the world, TERP has spent more than two decades proving that small art can make a big impact. 🎙️ Visual Noise: Walls Talk — Episode 18 Hosted by TRP613 & Urban Ninja Featuring TERP — @terpstreetart, Sweden Music credit: “Funk Groove Music” by Alex Gus via Pixabay Send us Fan Mail

    Visual Noise: Walls Talk - Greentaxonomy

    On Episode 17 of Visual Noise: Walls Talk, hosts TRP613 and Urban Ninja head to Cologne, Germany, to talk with the strange and fascinating creative world of Greentaxonomy. Greentaxonomy is a German street artist and digital artist known for creating creepy, unusual hybrid organisms that blur the boundaries between plants, animals and imagined life forms. Their work moves between digital art, sticker art and street art, often using green imagery and surreal combinations that feel equal parts scientific, organic and beautifully unsettling. The artist has been active in the street-art scene in and around Cologne and has appeared internationally, including through collaborations and street-art projects. Greentaxonomy has also been documented as collaborating with fellow street artists, including Planet Selfie, and their work has been spotted as part of the wider European street-art community. A major part of the conversation is sure to explore Greentaxonomy’s involvement in the #nohatefamily movement. The project was created by a group of Cologne street artists in 2018 as a creative response to hatred in society, using artist-designed stickers, collages and international participation to promote love, diversity and solidarity. Greentaxonomy was one of the founding artists involved in developing the project. TRP613 and Urban Ninja dig into the artist’s creative process, the strange world of “digital taxidermy,” sticker culture, the evolution of an idea from the screen to the street, and the importance of connecting artists across countries and communities. Episode 17 is a trip into a creepy green world where biology gets remixed, classification gets weird, and street art becomes a way to connect people.

    This week on Visual Noise: Walls Talk, hosts TRP613 and Urban Ninja head north to Alaska for a conversation with sticker artist Devil Roy. Working in one of the most remote street art scenes in North America, Devil Roy has carved out a unique place in the sticker community, proving that you don't need to live in a major city to make an impact. The episode explores what it's like creating and distributing street art in Alaska, where long winters, extreme weather, and smaller urban centres present a completely different experience from cities like Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal. Despite the challenges, artists continue to build connections through sticker trades, travel, and social media, keeping Alaska connected to the global sticker movement. TRP613 and Urban Ninja sit down with Devil Roy to discuss how they first got into sticker art, the inspiration behind the name, and what motivates them to keep putting work into the streets. They also talk about the importance of building relationships with artists across North America, trading stickers, and how even artists in the most remote places become part of a worldwide creative community. The conversation dives into the evolution of sticker culture, the thrill of finding your work in unexpected places, and the respect that comes from consistently getting up. Devil Roy shares stories from Alaska's underground art scene, discusses favorite materials and printing methods, and reflects on the friendships that have grown through years of trading and supporting fellow artists. Whether you're an artist, collector, or someone fascinated by street culture, Episode 15 offers a fresh perspective on how creativity thrives far beyond the world's biggest cities.
