STREET ART IN MY CITY/BANKSY'S EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP


I've always had an appreciation for street art, although growing up in my city I never really saw much of it in the sense of actual stencils, paintings, writings, or wheatpastes. Earlier in 2010 I happened to come across a few amazing pieces that I shot. Will be posting more art as I discover it..or as it discovers me.




Prettiest alley in town.

The shadows from the building behind were amazing.

I had heard about this piece and how amazing
it was. By the time I got to the spot to see
it, I was so bummed to find someone had ruined
such a work of art. Click on the link to see
it in original form.

Stumbled upon this on the walk back...

Went to a lecture at the MAC last night
given by well-known street artist, Swoon,
from Brooklyn, NY.

Such an inspiring lady and So glad our city
brings in relevant artists of our time.
Below are some photos I shot today of the
wheatpaste mural/collab she did with the
SFCC students on campus. Thank you for 
coming Callie!

11/19/11. Went to a show tonight and spotted
someone painting on a billboard. As we got out
and looked closer it wasn't a real person but
an installation!
GENIUS!

I've seen this bike chained up at
different locations this past year as
well as spray painted in various colors.
During winter the entire bike was immersed
in snow.

A close friend first spotted this one at
the onramp to the freeway. Got a couple
shots before it's removed.
...so good.

Love this!! Unfortunately I discovered recently that the building with the Obama/McCain piece had been demolished.

In June, to my surprise, Banksy's Exit
Through The Gift Shop came to Spokane
of all places... It's a must see film
if you haven't already. So inspiring!






so cute & funny...
