The wife went to Brazil and took some paint photos for me

My wife went to Rio and took some random pics of graffiti that she saw and was able to take photos of with out feeling in danger. Apparently, Rio is a fairly dangerous place. She said that most of the pieces that she saw were way better than these, but she didn't want her camera to get jacked.

Kansas City- Downtown near I-70

I always watch my bridges and overpasses

Wichita ICT Fest

I went to Wichita for the first time this weekend to see some bands at ICT Fest. I was walking around the old town in the downtown area with the people I went down with, and I stumbled upon this wall. Turns out, the folks I roll with actually knew this cat, Chris Trenary, I do believe (word on the street says at least). He had article in the Naked City Beat about some of his "fine art" and when I see that article up on their site, I will link it. This photos aren't the best, I was on the move and didn't have either the proper time or a good camera to post up and get some good shots, and a huge tree was in the way, but I am sure I will go to Wichita again soon. This was taken on Douglas I think, near a bar called "The Anchor".

Near I-35 in KC, Da Warehouse DIstrict

This was the first major wall that I had the opportunity to take pictures of in KC. Some pretty good tags and such here, but I would have loved to seen the previous layer of paint before these were done.

Random building on 43st in KC

Found on the side of a building going west on 43rd after it turns into something else (maybe Westport). Had a strange oriental type of feel to it . . .

The East Lawernce Waltz Street Mural

Mad Props to David Loewenstein(his site is here) for leading this project, on the east side. It is very moving and detailed, and I took these pictures on a warm spring morning.

Paint on a Car Counts as Street Art

This is one of the cars used by Van Go Mobile Arts Inc in East Lawrence. It even had zebra print seats.

Banksy- self-described "art terrorist"

My paint smelling life has been going through withdraws, so when I get the paint shakes, I check out Banksy on youtube. youtube is like NyQuil for a drunk

Link to Banksy's web-internets and such

P.S.- I didn't listen to the music on these youtube video's, so if they are not up to par with the art this art terrorist does, find the youtube video creator and make fun of them on the comments page.

First Worthwhile Spotting in Lawrence

Having a car drastically reduces the number of nooks and crannies I get to explore since I have been back state side. Most of the the good "big city" paint is about and 45 minutes from where I live, so I don't get to stumble across street masterpieces in the Midwest. But, as I do stumble upon it, I will post it, like this stencil.

First Sighting of Paint in Kansas City

near da Bronx, a dope as sandwich and pizza joint in KC.

Hi, my name is . . .

Madrid Tags

Madrid was splendid, the paint on the streets rivaled the paint in the museums.

Madrid Cartoons

Madrid, my last days in sunny Spain (movie stars)

So, I caught a train to Madrid, spent the night and flew out the next day. The first time I was here, I didn't have time to explore the streets, only the art museums. So, I trucked around and found some pieces near the railroad tracks. Movie stars first
