Anonymous

 

 

 

I have been seeing Anonymous' presence around town lately,

but before I can take a picture and

record my findings, their stickers have been removed.

I found this one on Galisteo and DeVargas, near the skate park.

 

And this one at the corner of Cerrillos and De Vargas.

 



Have A Nice Day



Slow

 

Slow down and look around.

There are many unusual things to see

around the city of Santa Fe.  Like this.

Someone was having fun with road cones.

Love Your Mother

 

 

Spring is here in Santa Fe and the trees are all in bloom.  I was taking one of

my walks and looking at the blooming trees, when I spotted

this little piece of guerilla artwork hanging from a branch on Don Gaspar near the Roundhouse.

 

 

Re-Claim The Streets

 

 

More stencils by the artist known as VISI.

 

 

 Found on Old Santa Fe Trail.

 

Spotted on Guadalupe @ Paseo de Peralta.

 

Take art and expression out of the galleries and museums and

bring it to the streets!

 

 



Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

 

Four-leaf clover found at Grant Avenue and Griffin Street.

May the luck o' the Irish be with ye!



The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

 

On the wall at the Old Guadalupe Café on

Old Santa Fe Trail.



Walk This Way!

 

      

 

Captured these guys at the intersections of Cerrillos Road and Don Gaspar on the

Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe.  When you do as much walking as I do around the city you

really have to watch crossing the streets here.  Even when pedestrians have the right of way,

they might end up like one of these little guys stenciled on the cross walk signals. 





Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Heart shaped candle holder found inside of

the Santuario de Guadalupe on Guadalupe Street

Santa Fe, New Mexico.



Sacred Heart

 

In Memory of Marcelino JR Roybal,

intersection of Alto and Closson Street.

 

 



Golden Hearted

 

Spotted on Galisteo at a shop that sold Balinese gifts,

It's no longer open.



All 1 Love

Written behind a street sign on the streets

of Santa Fe.

One Love

 

Yet another heart found on the streets

of Santa Fe. 



A Heart Split in Two

 

 Painted onto a wooden support beam outside

of Ecco's on Marcy Street.



Winged Heart

 

A winged heart on a door painted the color of New Mexican skies,

see how it flies!



Whole Hearted

 

People hanging out one summer night in

front of Evangelo's at Galisteo and West San Francisco.

Somebody probably nervously scratched this into the paint

as they smoked a cigarette out side or talked on their

cellphone to create this work of art.

 

 



Love Letters

 

 Found outside of a house on Camino de la Familia.

Love Letters only!



Heart of Stone

 

 While trying not to get run over by the SUV's and their drivers

on the way to Downtown Subscription, I noticed this stone on Acequia Madre,

that looked very much like a heart.



Hearts and Bones

Stumbled upon this walking down Aztec Street, outside of the old Aztec Café, the other day. 

It sucks that the Aztec Café is no longer open.

It was a great place to people watch, lots of off-beat characters hung out there and

paraded through its doors.  

I had my first Santa Fe art show there in 2001.



Hydrate My Heart

Found on West Alameda near the Co-op.

Love how the cobalt colored blue flowers seem to 

vibrate against the yellow of the fire hydrant.



Heart of Glass

 Noticed this at the intersection of Marcy and Washington while

waiting for the light to change.

For the month of February, a heart a day until Valentine's Day!!!

 

 Spotted on Galisteo, South Capitol neighborhood.

"Your Spirt is Free"

I think they meant to write spirit, but forgot the extra I.

They must have been in a hurry to crank these babies out.

Notice the U in the flying heart?

That's U.  Your spirit is free and it's also covered

in road dirt.



Art is a Weapon

 This person VISI goes around town, probably in the early hours of

the morning and sprays their stencils on to random ugly things, like utility

boxes and big hunks of concrete.  It always gets painted over, but I have been

lucky to document a few of their pieces.  This one was found outside

The Hotel Santa Fe on Manhattan and Guadalupe.



Lost Shoe

FOUND

One stretched out Manolo Blahnik shoe on Acequia Madre, near the corner of Garcia.
Lying in the gutter early one morning possibly left by a Cinderella on her way home
from a night of drinking on the town.
It's like a tiny boat in the bone dry desert, waiting for a stream of water to wash it away.



You Are Loved

Dumpster Diver

Someone loves you so much, that they wrote it on this dumpster, but maybe it’s the dumpster that they love.  Or maybe they wrote this on a dumpster, so that when you are feeling down in the dumps as you walk down this lonely Santa Fe side street, you will see this message and know that you are loved.

Twinkie at The Roundhouse

 Someone just left it there, but that statue in the background

is keeping an eye on it.  I wonder what became of this spongy, yellow dessert.

Maybe a raven swooped down and ate it or like the song "MacArthur's Park," it was left out

and then it rained overnight and it melted onto the faux adobe wall and into

the grass.  The Twinkie kind of looks like it was made from adobe.



El Diablo Dimas

 I spotted this gem yesterday at the intersection of Galisteo and the P.D.P. (Paseo De Peralta)

Love the looming shadow moving across his face. It makes him look all the more ominous looking.

(added 2/3/2014-Someone cleaned this vandalism up. Washed away the horns and goatee. 

The googly eyes are still there though.  I guess peeling them off would have damaged the sign even more.  I am so glad I captured this image before it was cleaned up. This is classic! Vandalism at it's finest.)
