New Jersey/Harlem hybrid Kyle Rapps is capping off 2013 with some new visuals off his Sub mixtape. “Architecture,” which features a stellar verse from the always-reliable Murs, takes the viewer on a black-and-white tour through NYC. The minimalist video puts the emphasis on the lyrics, but there’s still plenty of, well, architecture to observe here. Watch below.

After producing a large mural of a Pink Panther, Space Invader delivers another piece featuring his signature character and the great Spiderman. The mosaic set in the heart of Paris, France show that the artist is broadening the scope of his work. In addition, he is now working with more characters and on a larger scale. This piece can be seen in the skyline of Avenue de L’Opera. Street art faces many challenges in Paris because the city has so much organic beauty.  Since 1998, the Invader has been able to merge his street work with the Parisian landscape thanks to his discretion (his piece are often hidden in corners of the city itself) and his understanding of the environment.  He is able to beautify Paris. In return, Paris brings a different dimension to his pieces by allowing modernity to meet mid 19th century Haussmannian architecture.

M-City is back in the UK!  Mariusz Waras, also known as M-City, is an artist born in Gdynia, Poland. His strength lies in his versatility and understanding of architecture. M-City mostly works on murals and just finished this huge one for “See No Evil 2012” on the streets of Bristol. The piece is close to 10 stories tall and features his distinctive style– images that reminds us of an industrial landscape.
