Specter

Specter has been established in the street art movement for some time. His recent series, "the bodega project" caught my eye. In the photo above, that's not a real store, that's his addition to the wall. Specter refuses to be defined by what most street art is. He prefers to work very realistically, mimicking everyday scenes that might flash by in an instant for us, but are frozen permanently by his masterful brushwork. Check it out here.

David Buckingham

David makes amazing sculpture from the decaying roadsides of America. His gun series uses bent and shaped roadsigns and old car parts to make large primary colored replicas of famous murderers firearms. His Words&Symbols series is one of my favorite 3 dimensional works ever. Check it out here.

Trash Lovers

These guys are great. They don't do art for money or popularity, they do it for love. They don't even keep their work or hang it in galleries, they let the trash men come and take it away. Check it out here.
