Jen Stark's Paper Sculptures

Jen Sark has been making a lot of noise in the art world with her incredible paper sculptures. She's wonderful at bringing an organic essence into paper. Look out for her this coming up year in more major galleries.

Green Graffiti

Paul "Moose" Curtis is not an average graffiti artist. His innovated technique of spraying off dirt from walls to create "clean" designs has taken street art into a environmental level. I wonder if the city does "clean" this graffiti, and if so, wouldn't they be cleaning the dirt that they normally would not. Simply enough, this is incredible.

Favianna Rodriguez - 11 Works of Art

Favianna Rodriguez is a celebrated printmaker and digital artist based in Oakland, California. Using high-contrast colors and vivid figures, her composites reflect literal and imaginative migration, global community, and interdependence. Whether her subjects are immigrant day laborers in the U.S., mothers of disappeared women in Juárez, Mexico, or her own abstract self portraits, Rodriguez brings new audiences into the art world by refocusing the cultural lens. Through her work we witness the changing U.S. metropolis and a new diaspora in the arts.

Ella es maravillosa!

Street Art Locator v2

I don't know if you guys remember me introducing this website a few months ago. Street Art Locator is a website designed for users to locate graffiti, sticker, stencil, and all other sorts of street art using google maps. You're able to pin-point the exact location and a picture along with the location of the sight. You can also see all other locations around the whole world. I recently checked it out myself and I gotta say that Dallas is lacking some pins. So far the guys from grafwurks.com have a picture of one of their stickers. Go on and locate your street art here.

Larger Than Life

World-known artist RIPO just recently got done with his South and Central America tour with ABOVE. After a few weeks from being back on the states, he just finished his new website with tons of pictures from the tour and new walls. In case you did not know....go here.
