Graffiti or is it Street Art?

I live near the vibrant street markets of Spitalfields, Petticoat Lane, Columbia Road, Brick Lane, and UpMarket.  Every Sunday I am wandering around looking at the wares and taking in the smells.  It is always chaotic but the people watching is amazing.

Plus there is the street art.  Nothing like the random tags you see around Denver or Detroit.  It reminds me of a past art exhibit at the Longmont Museum and Cultural Center.  It was call Street Cred and focused different styles of street art in LA.  Each artist was also given a medium of their choice to make a piece of are or sculpture based on their style.

Let's take a walk around Brick Street...

I like how this one is on a piece of plywood.  No destruction of personal property here

If you had a garage door in the community would you welcome artwork on it?

The Monet of street art:

This is my favorite.  The artist first painted on butchers paper, cut it out, and glued it the wall.  By the next rain storm it will be gone, ready for the next piece of art.
