We Got Style (Week 1)

This is hopefully going to be a fruitful weekly venture into the art scene in Austin, whether High brow, Low brow, grafitti or what ever else I see fit to post here. It's my contribution. WGS

This is in an alley way that runs paralell to south congress. I believe its artist "give up" may have recently landed some sort of deal with Nike SB. The picture below shows the whole wall. It looked like a stencil that was painted by hand.

These were on the same building around the corner, from the huge "give up" piece.

The following are photos from a leagal wal that changes almost weekly, and is owned by a writer as well. The building is an old funeral home. I've heard rumors that it is condemned and will probably give way to some sort of high priced condos much like the rest of Austin.

There were four of these hot girls painted on the stairway each with a different speech bubble. This was the first, I think it is a great way to be greeted every time yo come home.

These are more pieces on the legal funeral home walls.

I think this tattoo influenced piece may be by an artist known as "Gomer".
