Street art attack: the crafty side of street art
By Will Spitz
Street art is fascinating enough on it’s own but, given it’s ephemeral nature, the act of photographing it is essential. And sometimes a photograph of street art, when it’s from an interesting angle or incorporates experiments with color, light, and/or contrast, is a piece of art in itself. Annie Ridlon, of Moontree Studios in Jamaica Plain, writes on her Flickr page:

Daily Street Art: The NYT covers Berlin graffiti
By Caitlin E. Curran
Yesterday's New York Times travel section had an interesting piece about graffiti and street art in Berlin. From the article:

"Nearly everywhere you go, from the cafe-lined streets of Kreuzberg to the leafy schoolyards in Grunewald, hastily drawn “tags” stream across the sidewalk and crawl up the side of buildings, in an elaborate zigzag of cartoonish graphics, puffy letters, photo-like wheat pastes and bold stencils.

Daily Street Art: Back from Paris and Iansanity
By Caitlin E. Curran
Daily street art posts have been minimal lately, due to my recent absence from the office/country, but I'm back and voilà! I've brought street art pics back pour vous. From the fifth arrondissement of Paris, Hemingway's old stomping grounds, I've got some shots of famed figures in stencils, by the not-so-famed artist Jef Aerosol (he's getting there, though).

Daily Street Art: Skelewags and some famous musicians in Cambridge
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Cambridge): Stenciled-on musicians are brightening those bleak, concrete walls

Awesome pics by sushiesque, who also captured a heartbroken Loch Ness monster. We miss Elliott and Kurt too, Nessy.

Not in Boston (???): Christine Autturio, my artsy, in-the-know co-worker, pointed out Skelewags, the crafty, Tim Burton-referencing street art currently decorating sewers and other unappealing city locations, by an artist called Chewy, on conceptart.

Photo Friday
By Caitlin E. Curran
I recently discovered that the Library of Congress has a Flickr page, and I can't stop looking at it. Srsly. I need to be banned, or I'm never going get anything else done. Here are a few of the best flicks - visit the actual page if you like, but don't say I didn't warn you.

The coloring on this one is amazing:

Street art photos of the day: MidEast Up art and some wursts
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Middle East Upstairs, Cambridge):

There we were, enjoying a UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen, and the experimental, post-rock sounds of the Amherst-based instrumental band Hadoken at the Middle East Upstairs, when we spotted something on the right, above the posters for Dirty Projectors and the Most Serene Republic: a massive green and black tag boldly splashed across the red wall.
