When we looked for street are we found....



A lot in Cambridge. Our first sighting of Shepard Fairey's work was 6 posters of the Obama Hope picture. After looking at that we walked more on Mass Ave. and saw this alleyway and on the this wall was more artwork by street artists all around. The wall where we saw all this art work is actually the exterior wall of the Central Kitchen restaurant. We left Cambridge to go find more of Shepard Fairey's work and we couldn't find much. We did see some of his work across the street from south station on an abandoned building. There were multiples of his Giant Obey work. We tried to find more of his work but the only large one we found was his giant mural on city hall, which was a lot different from what we expected. It seemed like a curtain hanging down. We were a little bummed but yet we were happy to find his art. We learned that there is more art in the smaller places than the larger places and all had specific meanings. Such as the artist's work with the monopoly guy making fun of monopolies and how they take money from the people. All the works were fun to look at and fun to find.
