For a limited time only!

Smack dab on the side of a dark building. Next to a vacant lot filled with weeds and rubble. Surrounded by a tall, chain-link fence.

An unexpected piece of street art!

I had a job interview earlier in the week near the West Loop and this just caught my eye!

Close-up shot! Doesn't he look cute!

This little yellow guy popped against the all-black wall. From a distance I thought maybe someone painted a bee. Upon closer inspection though it's some kind of robot/anime/video game-type character that's been pasted onto the brick surface.

Very cool!

In another week this will most likely be painted over so I thought to capture it with my camera before his fate is sealed.

Here's some tagging a couple blocks down from that spot. Sorry, the letters are being obscured by the lower building. I'd have to climb onto the roof to get a better shot (and yes, I did look for a fire escape....I will go to great lengths to get a good picture!).

I love the color combinations here. Something about the pink, red, and black that look great together.

I'm so impressed at how some people can pull this off without getting caught, using only spray paint, markers, and limited time.

It all makes me want to start doing some street art of my own! Before you know it I'll be marking up storefront windows and spray painting the sides of buildings!

Hahaha no, I'm too much of a goody-two-shoes to vandalize other people's property....at least as of now!

Just wanted to share my discoveries with you all. Now time for me to buy some spray paint! Kidding!!
