Have you ever experienced a random act of “artness”? Have you ever seen a whimsical, thought provoking piece of artwork just pop up overnight in a public place? Then you have experienced the growing world of the Guerilla Art Movement.
Art is to be enjoyed by all humanity, not just the privledged few. That is why anonymous guerilla artists are bringing their work to the public. Sometimes they last just a few days before they are stolen by miscreants or salvage recyclers. Sometimes they are taken down by public officials within the week. But sometimes they are given “protected status” by the citizens of their adopted community, to be enjoyed by every one, every day, in all their glory.
Through this blog, we hope to share with you our enthusiasm and commitment to creating Guerilla Art. We also hope to provide you a place to share with us your thoughts, your stories, and your pictures from the burgeoning Guerilla Art Movement. Metal is our medium of choice, especially recycled auto parts. But all forms of guerilla art are encouraged, except for grafitti. No mark or damage should be left behind when the artwork moves on to another pasture. Please come back and check in on us regularly, we hope you enjoy the show!

You guys are insane.
But I love the website, and the gorilla, albeit he’s a little diminutive from what I had envisioned.
Is he wearing tennis shoes? That is perfect!

This was sent in by email from a major art studio in the Big Sur, CA area:
“Thanks so much for this great link – I loved the playful nature, yet randomness of the artwork and how it sort of takes a poke at the “real” art world!
Brilliant stuff!
I shall check into the blog from time to time and see what new is venturing forth!”
“I looked through all of guerillaartists, very creative, not only the pieces but the story lines too, great stuff! ” Another fan via facebook.
