This is awesome.

Throw off your chains (and tinier men?)

 

I'm not...entirely sure what's going on in this paste-up, but it is delightful. It's also on the back wall of Mickey's Tavern on Willy St., and still there as of this posting. Photo courtesy of Nick Nice.

P.S. I love the fact that so many paste-ups have been going up this summer - much more than I've previously seen - and I'm pretty sure most of them are officially sanctioned by the building owners. There are several big ones on the side of Plan B that I need to get photos of, too. Keep up the great work, all!

Our Street Art Neighborhood: UK's "Griffiti Life" project does up a whole house

This was too rad not to share: A project/street artist company called Graffiti Life out of the UK covered an entire house with their work for a party. Looks like fun - wonder if we could find a similar space anywhere in Madison....

The paper SWAT team will beat you to a pulp

Another fabulous paste-up at Mother Fools, photographed again by beinshitty on Flickr. Love it. (And no, I won't apologize for the pun in the title of this post...I love puns)

Gas masks and bouquets

This is spectacular. Paste-up outside of reliably street art friendly Mother Fools coffee house on Willy St., photographed by beinshitty on Flickr. I definitely recognize the style of this piece, but still need to brush up on my specific artist names.

Bakery corn and clowns

Witness/photographer JP says these stencils have been on the cooling unit out back of Nature's Bakery on Willy St. for some time now. No word on who the artist(s) is, but they're lovely.

From beneath the waves they emerge

Muddy footprints emerging from the waters of Lake Mendota, onto the sidewalk, and up a wall. I call shenanigans! ...or clever mud stenciling, anyway. Witnessed/photographed by EK from earlier this year.
