These are some classy decks. I would love to get these for the casa - don't think my "roommates" would be down though.via

Historical Street Art

Everyone's favorite street artist/designer has already cemented his place in history during the 2008 US Presidential Elections with his posters and imagery of Barack Obama. Just when you think he couldn't be more of a big deal... he can be. The Smithsonian Institute is raising the $75K needed to purchase the giant, fine art version of the iconic Obama image used in the presidential campaign to put in the National Portrait Gallery.

This election has turned out to be historical on so many levels! I love it !
Long live street art!

Street Justice

One of my favorite past times is going graffiti hunting in all the cities I visit. Some of the best grafitti I've seen has been in Prague and Melbourne. The only problem is I can't ever coomunicate with the artists to let them know how I feel about their work, whether good or bad, because I'm not a part of the mysterious graff sub-culture. But now I can ! Design Crack has come up with a "Graffiti Report Card" that can be downloaded, filled out and stuck next to any piece you feel needs a comment. It has a 3 point rating system for creativity, skillz, daring and overall. It also has a section for comments and artist information. Pretty cool idea, and I've already downloaded a bunch for my next walk through Syndey's streets...just in case I come across any street art I might like to critique.from core77
