Dear Street Art Lovers,

It's time again to go back to basics and view some exemplary name-tag art. Here's one that was here yesterday, but gone today:

Artists CBS, TBG, Lords, Qrast One, Street Birds, paint on garage.

The images you see today are no longer here; gone the way of most street art, fleeting flashes of color and braggadocio that excite us for mere moments in urban life. So enjoy these images here for as long as this blog lasts.  Here are some details for you.

The artist who rendered the left panel obviously was feeling tender about matrimony. The date on this piece is 2013.

On the left I like this one owl-like character quite a bit. The treatment of the eye, the forehead, and the appearance of a backward facing baseball cap makes this look like a very specific portrait to me.













Go around the corner of this garage and on the north-facing wall (toward Melrose Avenue) you've got this quartet portrait. What a flock of odd birds, but boy do they have character.

Artists Bob, Sk8, Bizare'68, and Nace, The Legends Can't Be Stopped, paint on garage.

Go all the way around to the south side facing the alley and you've got this complicated name structure.

Artist GbJ?, Name in Camouflage, paint on garage.

Man does this one pop, even on the cloudy morning that I took this. You'd think since I'm always looking intensely at these kinds of things that I'd be able to read the names? Nope. I think you have to be a graffiti practitioner and know a lot of these guys before you develop the true for this kind of work. Can't read it to save my life, but hey, it's in camo, right? So isn't that the deal? Hard to see?


AND NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED SEASCAPE

Clear and sunny today, again. Stay cool people. Traffic was so  bad on the 134 today. Can't talk. Behind...

See you later.

Love,
Pops
