31/366: noninvasive

I've seen this a couple places around town, always sprayed onto (reused) newspaper and stuck to something with easy-to-remove painter's tape. I liked this one especially because of the way the light and shadows press through the paper.

30/366: lucky?

29/366: lessons in scopophilia

I have not seen much street art done in the medium of the sharpie.

28/366: passion

27/366: self-portrait with bicycle & small bar

26/366: look out, 3F442

25/366: talk like a pirate: theory and practice

The theory of pirate speech is based on the sound represented by this letter:



In practice, it must be drawn out wherever said phoneme presents itself, and should be accompanied by an exaggerated grimace, as this illustration suggests:

24/366: warning

I like the multi-color stencils because they take more effort in both preparation and application.

23/366: master of none

22/366: drugs of youth

Something I've been seeing more of lately is a blend of stencil and sticker. It allows a more discreet application of a stencil, of course, if one does not have to spray paint it in pubic. Instead, one can bring a whole collection out, all pre-sprayed onto packing labels.

21/366: ironworks

There's a lot of old iron gates and fences around town. I like how they contrast with the old brick factory buildings.

20/366: wishing for the best

19/366: the opposite of sartre

Hello other people.

18/366: high five

Not only do I love the contrast of colors here, but I like the interplay of types of communication used for hailing someone or making contact. Hi, five.

Here's a close-up of the stencil:

17/366: where are you?

16/366: power

15/366: parenthetical ontology

It also seems like a vague threat: by the way, there's a machine inside.

14/366: merge left / virgin of the phonebooth

This was a failed photo to the extent that I couldn't get a good angle on the Tattoo sign and I was shooting straight into the sun. There's something I like about the sun flare (not added in photoshop), as well as all the contrasts and little objects of interest that take us away from the sign.

I'm adding a second item today, though using photoshop filters is probably cheating. I liked the image (a paste-up stuck inside a phone booth with weird light coming through the translucent walls), but it came out all blurry. Blurry doesn't matter for the stained glass filter, which retranslates the icon (a sign of another sort).

13/366: automatic

12/366: shopping, explained

Believe it or not, the store with this sign is actually operational.
