Chicago based Left Handed Wave

So Chicago?...Street Art??? Yes, its everywhere and by the looks of the spots Left Handed Wave hits , he knows where they all are. Chicago almost reflects the Los Angeles street art spots but with either a fresh coat of paint or bricks that have never been touched. Left Handed Wave put in his time and has branded the 'face' in all of his street art. He can stick the 'face' in anything and its Left handed Wave. His art is clever, using costumes, his art it catchy, using the 'left handed wave', his art is funny, using the signature banana and his art celebrates holidays. Left Handed Wave is evolving and might be a little alone in Chicago, but its working.

Mr. Ramano went big in Huntington Beach

Like i have mentioned before in previous posts Orange County street art is rare. The city's like to keep the place clean and nice looking which is what we all want? right? Well Mr. Ramano has managed to make this plain ole' black sign better by adding this huge Marilyn Monroe for all to see on the corner of Edinger & Gothard in Huntington Beach. If this doesn't make the city look good i don't know what else would.

Street Art Is Dead

Street Art Is Dead? That's so not true and the blog Street Art Is Dead feels the same and they have a clever definition to back it up. "...at birth, each piece is consciously made knowing demise is almost certain....Street art is born dead" Very well put. The crew at Street Art Is Dead is wanting to pay tribute to the art in the streets from around the world and welcomes any documentation that you may have so they can provide the artists a site to go and look back on to recall there work. Sort of like an "encyclopedia" as they very well put it on there About page. If you have art work you have captured in the streets, send it there way by visiting there Contact page. You can also visit there Instagram & Twitter page for more up to date posts. And if you ever see anybody ripping down some art, take a second out of your time to tell them to 'please let the soldier live another day'-

"All The Girls Love Earl" - Earl Lee - Street Artist

Street art is in the blood. You are always looking for spots that will suit your art and when you find it you wont forget it until you put it there.  Earl Lee is one of those people. Orange County isn't the art mecca of So Cal street art, its mostly small businesses that use street art to promote there brand. Earl Lee, on the other hand, was into the 'LA' style of street art and promoted his art with no care in the world, mainly in the Newport Beach area with "All The Girls Love Earl" posters.  After making his mark in the OC he has popped up all over Los Angeles posting his original art work and has also done a collaboration with Mittenimwald. His stuff is good, Earl is handsome and all the girls love him.

Custom GameBoy Clock by Mr. Ramano

If you put some thought into what can be done with a vintage Nintendo GameBoy plenty of thoughts can fill your mind.  You then Google your thoughts and come to realize way more has been done with the GameBoy then you have ever imagined. Mr. Ramano took it to another level. He replaced the original GameBoy screen with glass and set behind it a fully functional clock! He then brought it to life by adding arms and to top it all off its balancing on a spring. This is most definitely a one of a kind. And for another cherry on top, there is word that he has made more than just one. So it sounds like we may have a chance to own one of his clever clocks. I hope so.
