Those who know me are already aware of my affinity for things like skateboarding (I love deck artwork) and street art. And over the past two weeks, I’ve been out and about in my Brooklyn neighborhood snapping photos of the phenomenal local street art with my iPhone. I began doing this simply to gather inspiration for a new design project I’m working on but wound up turning many of the photos I took into a collection of iPhone wallpapers for you to download right here and here. So, I have street art on the brain.
Coincidentally, today’s Daily Heller from Print magazine arrived in my inbox this morning and it’s about… Street art! Specifically, New York Street Artists Gaia and NOHjCOLEY.
You can view Mr. Heller’s brief write-up, as well as click to view a video taken by his son, Nicolas Heller, here.
And I second Mr. Heller’s statement: “Why go to a museum when you can check out street art in your city this weekend.” Get out and about in your ‘hood, you never know what sort of wonderful art and inspiration you might find!
