Tree Sign Clark Park

A sign on the street, that is not hand-painted, but definitely original.

Clark Park Philly

DC Classic: Columbia Road

I love this corner building (Columbia Road and Ontario Rd NW maybe). It seems like a great spot for a big party, and is also host to many neat wheat-pastes!

Oh Funeral Directors, Don't be crazy!

From a recent crab hunt in Annapolis: it's not hand painted... but it is a sign... and noteworthy for sure.

Barber Shops from Silver SPring to Mount Pleasant

What's better than a hand-painted barber shop sign? A swirling candy cane-like barber's pole, I suppose...

14th and T streets DC

Nothing better on a half-smoke than some wheat paste!

love y'all, whoever is posting these...

It's a board! It's a bench! Its a STREETSIGN

@thank you worm hole for letting me photograph your highly functional street sign.@!

Corporate Street Art?

This is a work by Tom Conlon, an employee of Critical Massive(?) in Brooklyn. It doesn't seem to be google-able, but the artist explained that he'd been working on hand painting a number of street signs in the area promoting this tv show. Its a nation-wide campaign and he was working with a reference photo. The space (rented) is on 18th street NW in Adams Morgan and was painted earlier with an ad for the show Children's Hospital.

This reminds me of the Coca-Cola ads painted on buildings in South America, but its something relatively new that I've seen here in D.C.
