The Streets Speak: B~Kay
Watchful eyes have been popping up in the Montrose over the last couple of months. They come courtesy of B~Kay, a Houston-based artist who’s also pasted in Austin and San Francisco.
Here, B~Kay shares some of her flicks and offers up a few words:
I love to see people’s reaction to things and I am a big people-watcher. My favorite part of the human body is the eyes. I think you can tell a lot about a person through their eyes.
When I am painting my third eye opens and I get lost in it. Painting is like a drug to me; I am always craving it. Art is a magical thing; it brings the best out of everyone. Street art is the most positive thing coming out of the world today.

Police State
More information on that anti-graffiti camera near Poison Girl:
There are 20 such cameras around the city, not to mention a few decoys.
I’m not really in the mood at the moment, but let’s just pretend this is the part where I rant for a couple of paragraphs about how this development stinks of a police state and how the city would never dream of using such aggressive tactics against advertisers. And, you know, all that other shit.
Damn, Atlanta Got It Goin’ On…
Over at the Atlanta Graffiti group on Flickr, Brooke Novak has posted one of the coolest splice jobs I’ve seen in a long time.
