ARTWORK ROCKS AUSTIN'S WALLS

Throughout the city limits of Austin lines artwork of all colors, sizes and shapes on buildings, stone walls, drainage pipes and more.  The artwork is constantly changing and being updated.  This morning, I saw an 8-year old with his own can of orange spray paint at Graffiti City expressing himself amongst the great artists of the city.  Age does not dictate art.

GRAFFITI CITY - behind the Goodwill on Lamar

Don't forget to tag your work!



It's not all about the art of graffiti.  My favorite is a mural painted on the side of a building just on the West Side off 11th Street at a cafe called, The Victory Grill.  According to Cliff, the manager, two artists from NYC came to town and spent two days, rather nights, painting.  What began as a day project turned immediately to evening work It was was one those 100+ degrees of heat, so they came back at night, set up lighting and started painting. Two nights and then done.  Gone. Bye bye. Images are just below, but excuse the boxes, chairs and other objects in the way, as it is a place of business and I was doing an impromptu drive by.
 
Little plug for the artists.






   

These works are located at the 
Dr. Charles E. Urdy Plaza on 11th Street. 







More random brush strokes...



I have more. It's everywhere.  I just can't help myself from taking pictures.  Enjoy.
