Konfidential Street Art
May 31, 2013Here’s some street art I found on Georgia Avenue this week. One was at Georgia’s intersection with Columbia Road, and the other was just north of Kenyon Street. I wonder if there are other examples in this series — clearly by the same artist.
Another Street Art Series
May 2, 2013Here’s an example of a street art series I’ve been seeing around the city. I like the premise. In all of them, a figure is holding up a blank sign that has been written on. I’ve seen them come in a variety of sizes and colors. The one below was found on P Street, NW, but I’ve also seen them on K Street as well.

The Continued Quest for Street Art
February 27, 2013Here’s one of several similar posters I’ve seen on public utility boxes in Columbia Heights recently. Even though I know they are technically wrong, I still have a great appreciation for all the creativity I see in the community.
Inspiring Street Art
February 1, 2013I noticed the message below painted on one of the retaining walls at Harriet Tubman Elementary School. I really liked the message and happen to agree with it … life is awesome! It made me smile and I hope it will do the same for you.

More Area Street Art Spotted
October 11, 2012It’s been a while since I’ve posted any street art. This is mostly because there hasn’t been that much lately. But here are two I’ve seen within the last week or two. The first was posted at the Park Market located on the northwest corner of 13th Street and Park Road.
… and the one below was on the base of a street light located on the southeast corner of 14th & R streets.

More Street Art Popping Up in Area
August 14, 2012I noticed over the weekend that more guerrilla art can be found around the Columbia Heights area. Below is an example I found at 14th Street and Kenyon.
"The territory comprising Park View extends from Gresham Street north to Rock Creek Church Road, and from Georgia Avenue to the Soldiers' Home grounds, including the triangle bounded by Park Road, Georgia Avenue, and New Hampshire Avenue" (from Directory and History of Park View, 1921.)
Area Street Art — Stop Deportations!
April 18, 2013I’ve been finding a lot of these Stop Deportations posters around the community lately. I like both the graphic and the message.
