It didn’t take long for me to find something to shoot today. At The PaintYard, the place where street and aerosol artists get their supplies, I encountered Phillip (a.k.a. War) a San Antonio artist, doing a lay-up on the back wall of the store. I had been down a few days before and there was nothing on the wall behind the dumpster, but there it was today, the girl in the electric blue bikini staring at everybody that walks the rear streets.
The PaintYard and Owl Cleaners area at 525 San Pedro, just down from Night Rocker Live, is a masterful blend of modern figure art mixed in with character art of another sort, usually a lay up of just the writer’s name or name of his crew. Shouting out in bold colors and jolting styles, this area is a Mecca for writers and fans of this form of urban art.
Hoping to see more of the genre at the spray art festival this May.
War ~ Send me the info on the festival and I will post it here.
