Street Art and Summer

 I was invited to a summer solstice party few weeks back.  One of my favorite days of the year because it stays light so late.  We ended up having this huge storm come in.  The party was at this converted warehouse space that is across from the train tracks in Wicker Park.  The tenants who live there know a lot of garffiti artist and this one famous one named Roa wanted to do a piece on his building.  Roa has a world wide reputation and works all over the globe, including New York, Los Angeles, Mexico, Belgium. Poland, and now Chicago.  Check out both links.  The first one shows him doing the piece and some other works.  He did another piece here on the south side which I hope to go see. The other link shows some of his other work which I think are pretty amazing.
