Too many bad notes playing in our symphony.

Chicago Street Artist, CRO.

In an effort to inspire cooperation and just in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day 2011 I’ll be releasing an exclusive print titled, “THE FUTURE IS…”. This print imagines America, not as it is but as it could be. The fifty multi-colored states are reconstructed into the universal symbol of love — the heart. Ivy which gets its symbolism of connections and friendships because of its propensity to interweave in growth pierces through the country instead of an arrow.

As of late, I have been talking a lot with some gal pals regarding street artists and art.

Today in the NYT Style section, street artist, Stefan Strumbel, was featured in his home in Offenburg, Germany. See the gallery of his home here.

Stefan is known for graffiti and now makes sculptured art out of cuckoo clocks.
