Street beauty

I love street art.

There's something about the ability to take plain, dull walls and bring them to life that I just find fascinating. Especially if it includes portraits.

El Mac is one of my favorite artists. I find his talent to be ridiculously amazing, especially as I can hardly draw a normal circle on a piece of paper with a pencil, let alone create gigantic portraits on buildings with spray cans. 

Dia de Muertos en Pomuch- Campeche
(this one just blows my mind)
Pandora- Los Angeles
Southwest Goddess- Phoenix

He has collaborated with Retna who does the backgrounds, the results are breathtaking.
Here are some examples.

Skid Row (Blessed are the Meek)- Los Angeles


Ave Maria- Salt Lake City

RVCA Headquarters- Costa Mesa

The Knight- Los Angeles

Young Scribe- Miami

Yes! Yes! Yes!

People who make the world a more beautiful place with their talent make me happy.
So, thank you :)
