Imagine an art form that uses living, respiring material; an art form that creates mini eco-systems in often complex and beautiful patterns. It changes the face of urban landscapes and redefines the term “urban jungle.” It breathes life anew.

Welcome to the world of green graffiti – masterpieces crafted in moss and grass. Here you’ll find some of the most incredible works of this rare and unusual art form and how to make it yourself.

    Could someone please post some info on how to actually do this?
    What do you do with all these ingredients? Just put them in a blender? The directions say,

    “As soon as it starts to grow, transplant it in your chosen location and watch your graffiti art spread.”

    Do I paint out what I want indoors and then just try to stick it to the wall once it starts to grow? What kind of moss is this? Is there a good place to find it?
