I thought this trompe-l’œil was well executed. Its huge. I took it a few weeks back … so hopefully its still there. I know that alley changes a lot. More details below.

Posted in Street Art with tags Street Art on July 22, 2009 by KentIts good to check out the alley that runs next to Logan Hardware every now and again. I noticed the graphic below about a week back when I was seeing if anything new was there since my last visit.

Posted in Street Art with tags Southwest, Stikman, Street Art on July 20, 2009 by KentThese 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.
Stikman at New Hampshire Ave & Dupont Circle

Posted in Street Art with tags 14th Street, Shepard Fairey, Street Art on July 13, 2009 by KentWhile 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.
