Off the wall graffiti by artist Mark Jenkins

Washington DC-based artist Mark Jenkins has populated streets in the U.S., Brazil, Netherlands and Italy with his “cast-based sculpture… as a form of non-permission based street art”, some made with cellophane and clear packing tape

And, others fully clothed and totally incongruous.

Here’s a tutorial on how to cast just about anything with cellophane wrap and clear packing tape.

And here’s a video about creating a merry-go-round where there never was one before.

Mark is exhibiting his Outcasts in the U.K. at the Lazarides Gallery Exhibition, April 13 – May 12, 2007 and is featured in this interview with themorningnews.org.
