Not sure if there will be more Street art and if so when and how th pick what boxes and why not others hey do them all.... Yeah do one right in front of Blue Monk even though they got mad when an (e:Peep) took pictures through the window of how nice it looked inside before they opened ....

The art project known as Community Canvases and the Elmwood Village Association announced today that local artists will be transforming utility boxes and other structures along Elmwood Avenue into art installations. The organization's first event happened along Tonawanda Street in August.

According to EVA Executive Director Carly Battin, artists will begin making their work on Saturday morning. Stay tuned to this space for some pictures of the completed work.

My guess is that they won't I think the taggers get that this is street art but not sure... Maybe I'm biased since I've seen some really amazing Tags on trains to and from work I don't just mean lettering I've seen some cool ones with faces and brick walls and stuff we shall see.....

These are pretty cool! I hope they just don't get tagged and taped over like all the normal ones.

Soulfull Strange Sunday
Category: life
So Sunday was such an odd day I knew the guy was coming to spray my place but wasn't sure if it would really be on time.... Bills game would be on at four no movies started till like 1.... So I was going to sit out on Mothers porch and look at ads and read Paper but it wasn't there.... So now what do I do wasn't sure about going out to say Galleria and if there was a movie or just hang out if I would be back by 4PM game ..... The plan for after the paper was CasaDiPizza food and watching football there.....

So with no camera went down to Canal Side ...... I had no camera I had no idea The Peacemaker was still here ... It looked great and was really tall and I noticed something it looked and I might be wrong is taller then skyway um that might be a problem Yes you can go around it but wouldn't it be cool if you wanted to go through that way.......

It felt so odd not naked really but a strange feeling to not be able to take photos...

It was Brisk down there aka cold to me... So props to the people out in the water in kayaks ouch... I also saw people getting on Miss Buffalo and some band bet even with the cold it would be fun band and bose but still Hardy or is it hearty ?

I also saw this Really cool little girl or maybe it was the parents green dress and top with tiny green hat and like leather fighter pilot glasses yeah like steam punk or what you might call alt modeling getting her picture taken ....

I finally saw the new Hispanic Memorial that is really nice what I mean is the craftsmanship is amazing it is kinda scary in a good way ......

had to go to that tall observation deck and there is all kinds of stickers on like a water pipe interesting....

On my way out there was some kind of bike thing there where a bunch of them or is that people on them that there was a bunch of it isn't like they rode down there or like dropped their bikes off to hang out .....

Then it was off to CasaDiPizza on Elmwood didn't know how filling the loaded fries would be couldn't finish my double order with soda pop but had them after the Bills game as I enjoyed the Emmys but not the loss of my teams.....

It is hard to explain how odd the waterfront felt but still a good time....

They did spray at my place for the bugs and I have other stuff to do like vacuuming gotta figure out why it over heats and stops though......

Allentown ART ....
Category: photos
So The wing fest was this weekend and no idea what to do with photos and that brings up something else to argh... But If you read the Buffalo News or maybe some other sites you may have heard the uproar over Street art... And I admit the art that was on the side of hardware was great and fit with a bar and I really liked it.... hoping there is more to this art but don't think it will be better... Here we go.....
