This Trompe-l’œil transforming a transformer into a mini apartment building is located at the southwest corner of 14th and P Streets, NW. I’m not sure who the artist is, but I think its very fun.

These Stikman figures are at the intersection of 7th and Independence, SW. the one on the left is near the northeast corner of the northern crosswalk, and the one on the right is near the southeast corner of the eastern crosswalk. The one on the man whole reminds me of a figure walking on the moon. A close up is below.

Fairey’s Mr. Spray

Posted in Street Art with tags , , on July 13, 2009 by Kent

Obey spray canWhile walking down 14th Street yesterday from P to U Streets, I noticed a lot of Shepard Fairey has recently popped up. Mostly stickers on the back of signs.

I’ll share them over the next couple of days. Here is Mr. Spray (click here for larger, cleaner version).

I thought it was particularly interesting that I noticed so much of Fairey’s ‘art’ was recently added to 14th Street considering that he recently plead guilty to graffiti in Boston. You can read Tina Kells article about that here.

As you can see from the image below, these stickers are fairly small. Many of them are a bit high too, so if you aren’t paying attention you’ll likely miss them.
