Fine Art in the Streets

SmugOne is a super talented artist that uses blank walls on the street as his canvas. After scouring the Internet for information about him, it's clear he wants to keep a low profile. This may prove quite challenging, however, given the high quality of his murals. I have a strong feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of him and his work in the near future.

Comment by Todd Eastman on July 20, 2011 at 5:34pm: No biggie. IMHO - not only can fine art be found in the streets, I think it could be argued that all art begins in "the streets." Art is an expression of life, and it cannot survive in a vacuum. Where it can or can't be found really has no bearing on the art itself. Is fine art any better if it is locked up inside someone's private collection?

Comment by Todd Eastman on July 19, 2011 at 1:06pm: Beautiful work! But why did you lead your FB post with "Do you believe that fine art can be found in the streets?" I thought it was a silly question and wanted to argue the point.
