I have only a section of this mural by Claudia La Bianca,

In researching it, I have found out it has recently been defaced.

Thanks again to Norman for this gift of GLaM from Miami!

Aiko, a Japanese artist living in Brooklyn, painted this in 2009 w/ a little help from her girlfriends.

Aiko spent days making stencils in prep for this wonderful piece.

Bill Webb (BW Thoughts) sent this gorgeous historical mural from Ottawa, Illinois, U.S.A.

As I have often had to do, Bill shot the mural in segments. Here are the segments from left to right.

Bill wrote:
“If you ride the I&M canal out from Chicago to the end, about 80 miles in you come to Ottawa ( named after the Indian word for trade )”

“it is at the conflux of three rivers, and the canal goes through there( built in 1848 ), but as far back as the 1600’s the French traders settled here and traded furs with the Indian tribes of the region.”

“The rivers were marshy and prone to flooding, so when the canal was built, little towns began to sprout up along the route, and goods and people began to flow West. In many ways this town is still a sleepy place that mirrors small town America at its best.”

Bill (BW Fiction), thank you for the pics of this wonderful mural, and the thoughts to go with it!

Thank you, Susan!
This is one of the cuter 4-legged reader posts. However, I’m Johnny’s cat mommy so of course I’m going to say that as he browses “Bogota Street Art”, or sleeps. You should see how adorable he is when he sleeps! 🙂
He reads Street Art books to add cool to his cute!
Thank you Resa! If you have a 4-legged reader in your family, please email a pic to Susan@Fridaymorningbookclub.com

Futura 2000 began his graf career in the 1970’s in NYC subways. His abstract style set him apart from the other writers.

His was one of the first “Wynwood Walls” projects.

Thanks again to Norman for the gift of pics.
