lost on the internet #1

This is why I detest trendy tumblr. That swamp of incredible (and not so) images, so rarely credited to their correct incredible sources, pasted up by/for 14 year old girls to define themselves by. Can anyone identify these?

Rabotniki

My gag reflex for street art is normally pretty aggressive. I don't understand why it's so trendy; when I worked at Tate we had stacks and stacks of Wall and Piece that flew into the arms of Spanish tourists and try hard Mums by the skipful. And last Christmas was the third or 4th in a row that I or my sister was given a Banksy book by a family member (definitely adopted).

I do however like the Rabotniki series from Grobgrafik collective. I noticed a couple somewhere near Köpenicker str., before I stumbling upon them on the internet. They've flung up their tasty collages in New York, Istanbul, Bangalore and Mumbai too. They're beautiful in the flesh (so to speak).
