Daily street art: Noirboston and Roadsworth
By Will Spitz
Yes, I know, I should rename this whole street art series something like "Sporadic Street Art Updates," or "Sometimes daily street art." Let's just say I'm using the term loosely. This weekend I plan on visiting my favorite street art-related spot in town: the Wall in Central Square, so I can capture some photo updates of what's going there.

Daily Street Art: C215's stencils and new art @ THE WALL!
By Caitlin E. Curran
We're really digging the Parisian artist C215's mosaical, stenciled portraits, which are currently gracing bleak slabs of city concrete across the globe. Stenciling is the old stand-by for street art and graffiti artists, but when it's done with a certain amount of creative vision, not to mention precision, it can be one of the more impacting methods.

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: the Valentine's edition
By Caitlin E. Curran
Maybe it's just my inner cynic creeping out, but Valentine's Day seems like a holiday created by greeting card companies to make everyone feel bad about themselves. Okay, that's my totally subjective (and pretty much completely false) take on it. According to Wiki, though, the first mass-produced Valentines hailed from Worcester, Mass.

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.

Daily Street Art: Goldenstash hits Herrell's and Swoon hits the world
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Allston): I wrote about Goldenstash, the famed Hanna Barbera–esque, comically seductive, unapologetically womanizing cartoon creation of a local street artist; back in September. To refresh your memory:

Now, the man behind the stache is having an art show at Herrell's, in Allston.

Daily Street Art: The Friday BLOW OUT Edition!
By Caitlin E. Curran
Hi. My street art posts have been MIA for the past few weeks, and not in the good, "Paper Planes"-kinda way - sorry about that, dudes. I fell victim to newspaper deadlines, but I will neglect daily street art no longer! As a piece offering, I've got a plethora of new and fantastic street art photos and news. Let's get started.

In Boston: An art show in Davis Square

Daily Street Art: Peeping Toms and NYC street art that's not from the Banksy exhibit
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Allston), who's watching whom?

Captured by mikeyallswell.

Not in Boston: Don't worry - it's not the oft discussed Banksy (who we personally find hilariously inventive, even though the fact that the dreaded Brangelina is now worshipping him makes us feel nauseous, but that's a discussion for another day) and his controversial exhibit at the Holasek Gallery in Chelsea

By Caitlin E. Curran

In Boston:

Yipes + Mr.Buildmore flick by walknboston.

Not in Boston (works by laser 3.14 in Amsterdam, a frequent haunt on Daily Street Art. It's hard to avert our eyes from Amsterdam's awesomely awesome street art):

Excellent photos from a series by wojophoto.

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.
