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.org. Actually, decorate isn't even the right word, because Chewy
incorporates his artwork into pre-existing structures, cracks, pipes, plants, etc. These things are not just canvases for the artwork, they're part of it. It's sort of
Banksy-type thinking, that street art can be both inspired by and an improvement upon it's surroundings.
Chewy's website is currently unfinished, and I wasn't able to pin down exactly what city these photos are from, via extensive Google researching, but my could-be-totally-wrong guess is somewhere in Portugal,
based on this. If anyone knows for sure, help a sista out and shoot me an e-mail.
