Over the weekend I found some new street art on the building located at the southeast corner of Sherman Avenue and Girard Street. Off hand, it looks like these have been inspired by a few of the equestrian statues around town.

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.
Latest Example of Area Street Art
December 14, 2012Here’s some recent street art I found in Columbia Heights while walking around the area. I still haven’t completely decided if I like this one or not.

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.
