I love how he cuts the canvas with a knife and the builds the image around the hole in the canvas. Stencils and spray paint make this one pop a bit. Love original paintings as they have so much more depth and texture compared to prints. He is reasonably affordable compared to some contemporary artists.

One of Banksy’s more iconic murals was this one, from his time in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. It’s an amazing piece that has stood the test of time. I’d love to own the print version, but don’t have an extra $75,000 laying around. Still, I tracked it down in the streets and took this picture 10 years ago today with my son (and with my own umbrella, as it was drizzling).

Created and produced by Banksy and put out by the art company “Pictures on Walls”, Trolley Hunters is my first Banksy piece, and only signed print I have of him.. Banksy’s popularity is undeniable and I believe he is our generations Andy Warhol. He produces high quality, satirical, political, environmental art. He does murals, prints, sculpture, and other paraphernalia. It is a must to have an authentication certificate for provence by Pest Control. The authentication company that he owns.

I went to my cousin’s house in Chicago last weekend, it was very excited to see that their modern art collection has been evolving without me. This is the artist Dani, from New York City. He uses pop culture, fashion, and mixed media, including acrylics, collage, spray paint, and wheat paste to create amazing works original art on canvas. Even his prints have a nice hand-finished element that gives them both texture in depth. He is fairly collectible yet still reasonable to afford.

Hey guys, this is the view of one of my walls near my desk at work. Yes, some people put diplomas, awards, and certificates on their walls. Not me! Instead. I have original pieces of art from urban artists all around the world. This gallery-style look is both visually appealing, albeit a little cluttered. Still, I can enjoy looking at the intricacies of these pieces while I hammer out emails and take meetings! If anyone wants to know about anything specific, I’d be happy to share details about the artist or piece!
