I just can't bring myself to do it. (That's Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, union-buster extraordinaire, for those of you who don't recognize that smug mug)
Not entirely sure when this went up - it's possible I just haven't been as observant as I think I am - but I didn't notice the piece/mural until today. Along E. Paterson, near the intersection with E. Washington. Pretty sure it's a sanctioned work, since it's on the side of a business and quite big/intricate. Nicely done!
Great new mural on the side of Mother Fools, in honor of the several weeks long protest happening in Madison against the governor's budget bill that, among other things, strips collective bargaining rights from public employees. I've been all over the action, if you're interested in getting caught up.
Welcome to Madison Street Art - a collection of photos and musings about the various pieces of stencil, tag, paste, chalk, and every other kind of public/street art we stumble onto in Madison, Wisconsin (and the surrounding communities).
Feel free to send your own submissions in, too. Drop me a line at madstreetart@gmail.com
We're here simply to appreciate and/or study the various forms of street art that are out there, not to bust the artists or to condone vandalism.
