here is another kirkwood living walls piece; who would have thought our little neighborhood would have such hip street art? this one is a series of work by ltrs, peeve & blief at the corner of la france street & arizona ave ne near the arizona pub. it’s more old-school graffiti/tag style, which is cool to see. i couldn’t find much more information on the artists though or other works by them for that matter.

check out our previous coverage of living walls work by gaia & nanook, jaz, bruno, niznik & tyndell, greg mike, marco sueño and trek matthews and this great google map of the 2011 living walls murals.

you can find this really amazing/huge living walls piece on the side of the u*space gallery in the old fourth ward. it’s really close to the jaz painting we wrote about a couple of days ago.

the title of the mural is the sunrise of edgewood and it was created by new york-based street artist gaia & baltimore-based nanook. it’s part of the 2012 living walls campaign. here’s other great work by gaia and nanook and also an article on the production of this mural.

here is another living walls mural in atlanta. you can find this gem on the back side of paris on ponce. it’s a collaborative mural by seattle-based christopher derek bruno, florida-based benjamin niznik & atlanta-based drew tyndell. i don’t know much about these guys, but i really like this mural! it’s tough catching the whole mural when there aren’t any u-haul trucks parked in front though.

i recently had d.b.a. barbecue for the first time, albeit take-out, and was quite impressed. i went with the dry spare ribs and they were amazing, easily up there with community q.

i really liked d.b.a.’s ordering options. you could go with spare ribs, baby back ribs, or rib tips and order them dry or wet. all of your bbq preferences were covered, which is nice for a change. i may have found my new favorite in-town rib shack!

i’ve been working out of inman park this week and drove by this crazy wooden sculpture. it looks like someone carved themselves a totem pole instead of having a tree removed. clever!

head on over to google and type in “zerg rush” for an interesting surprise! there is a video game style easter egg where the Os in google fly around and attack the searched items. here are some screen grabs in case you miss it.

here is another living walls mural in kirkwood that’s very close to our house! it’s by atlanta-based artist/designer greg mike, whose work can be found all around town, especially his loudmouf design. he also makes these large & small mad cans, which are fun.

greg’s kirkwood mural is great, we are excited to have such cool street art in our neighborhood! i have yet to drive by when that yellow van wasn’t parked in front though, so i don’t have any photos of the full mural. you can check out the whole design here while i wait for a photo opportunity.

here is a post we did a couple of years ago with some photos of greg’s work near the eyedrum. little did we know it was work he did for the 2010 living walls conference.

the next installment in our living walls coverage is a piece by marco sueño. this one is actually in kirkwood right near our house, which is pretty happening for our neighborhood.

marco is a peruvian street artist who affixes graphics on walls with wheat paste. the results can be amazing, as is the case here, but they also don’t last very long. i drove by his kirkwood piece this morning and there wasn’t much left on the walls. most of the art was peeling off or gone at this point. it also looks like an ape tag i see around town has been added.

hopefully we will get another, more permanent, living walls piece in its place.
