Street art is a form of self-expression that requires nothing more than a public space to be seen and appreciated by a large number of people. Now, let us introduce you to Frank de Ruwe, also known as “Frankey,” an Amsterdam-based street artist. He is well-known for his humorous and subtle take on public spaces, proving that creativity knows no bounds. Frank’s creations can appear in unexpected places, from Darth Vader fishing in a canal to a street pole transformed into a sword. Read on to see some impressive street art!

During his studies in product design, Frankey revealed that he wanted to create products that made people smile. However, there was little room for levity in my studies. “Fortunately, I came across Banksy’s book Wall and Piece,” he says.
“Although I was familiar with graffiti, Banksy’s disruptive and often humorous works were a revelation to me. After finishing the book, I went out on the streets right away.” Well, maybe our next trip will be to Amsterdam just to pull Excalibur off and become the King of the Pavement Kingdom.
