Cool street artistry in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Walk down the right back alley in Ann Arbor, and you WILL shit brix!

Been living in this college town for the past 4 years, and now that school is out and there are no classes to worry about, I am beginning to realize that I may have missed out on seeing the best of this tiny town during my time here. The real local bars and eateries that college kids rarely hear of, much less wander into, the best kept secrets in underground music venues, and of course, the graffiti. Just a few hours ago, on my way to the train station, I wandered down an alleyway I must have passed by dozens of times while a student. Yet the thought of exploring this tiny little enclave never crossed my mind before. Well, today I did it, and below are some of the products of my breathtaking detour.

Would you like to share some cool art (or not) from your college town or perhaps your hometown?

Artonot #35: Urban Art? We’ll go with the Guardian on this one – keep it on the street!

It’s about time we looked at some graffiti at Artonot. What’s your opinion?

Again, a far cry from Rembrandt. The label “urban art” is merely a poor excuse for artistic incompetence. Graffiti artists should go find a real profession and do something they’re actually good at.

I still can’t figure out why the standards for artistic creation have dropped so much since the Renaissance. How curious.
