These are some cool stickers on lower Queen Anne. I like all the stickers in the last picture which are done by Lim and Nok and I think the other sticker there says Biskit.

New Slang

Some cool stickers by Broadway. I like the well placed Chicken Kid sticker, and the Starhead Boy sticker on the palm tree print.

Galactic Connection

Not much to say except that I really like this first sticker. It’s really small and I almost missed it.

These are some more pictures from a rainy day on Capitol Hill. I like Karl Addison’s face sticker with the little dog peeking out from behind it, and I also like Chicken Kid’s sticker.

Some old pictures from Capitol Hill. I like the blue sticker and the smiley face-eyed sticker from Lim.

On A More Serious Note…

November 3, 2009

One of the most disappointing parts of the street art scene is when well-done art is painted over/ripped down/buffed off. This happens regularly with graffiti and stickers, but most larger installments are allowed to stay in place for a larger period of time. A few months ago I posted a few pictures of a very cool installment on Capitol Hill. It was on a side wall of a loading dock of a self-storage business. I only saw the wall because I stopped to sit down and make a phone call right next to it. In no way could it have lowered the businesses value or even make the building look worse than it already does.

Unfortunately, someone (either the business or a third part) decided to paint over the wall, leaving it ugly and discolored. Below are some before and after pictures. You can be the judge of which one is more appealing.

Tagalong

These are some pictures of tags along Aurora. My favorites that I saw were probably the silver Blink ones and the reddish-black one that I think says Cue.

Mouth of the Rat

October 29, 2009

These are pictures from Randy, who while in Boca Raton, Florida, took pictures of the street art there. I like the layered clown stencil on the priority mail sticker and the “Noxin” sticker is cool too. Randy says that there will probably be more pictures to come. Thanks Randy!

Body Language

October 28, 2009

These are all stickers by Aurora near Queen Anne. The artist Lim seems to have a lot of stickers in that area but these are my favorite. I like how they are hand-drawn and I like the placement of the eyes.

Flagpole Skater

October 27, 2009

I really like all of the stickers in these pictures. They are all straight forward and you don’t need to really look at it them to long for you to see everything they have to offer. Sometimes this can be a bad quality for art but with street art it’s a good quality.

Surf City

October 26, 2009

Some more cool pictures from Capital Hill. I really like the Team Nerd thing (not too sure what it is) and Chicken Kid’s sticker is pretty sweet. I’m not positive, but I think that the last picture of the priority mail sticker is also by Team Nerd. And to conclude this post I’ve put up Dickshakers Union by Surf City. It has a strange video but i really like the song and the band’s other music.

Some more cool street art from Capitol Hill. I like the umbrella wood painting, I’ve seen other variation of the same basic design around Capitol Hill.
