Painting while Breakdancing!

I just heard about a French artist and b-boy, Sami “Twister” Amdounivi, who paints while breaking. Art truely begets art!

B-Boy Inspired Art

Breaking is an art but has proven to be a muse for other types of artists. I first heard about b-boy Inspired art at MoreThanAStance.com and was immediately impressed by the variety. Though all are inspired by breaking, each artist puts their own take on it using different styles, canvases and paints.

Kim Gyeong takes hisoric figures and depicts them in a b-boy stance:

Ward Jenkins, with a Jean-Michel Basquiat influence, paints on canvases as well as traditional breaking surfaces ranging from cardboard to linoleum:
