We all love street art. Real art, and not random tags on the wall spray painted with any colour they could find in the store, or nicked from their brother's stash. The ones that you randomly spot while walking down the street and make you stop and stare. Russian street artist Nikita Nomerz creates 'The Living Wall', an ongoing series that brings life to dilapidated buildings by painting strange . . .
Simplicity
I'm a bit of a social networking addict and in between this blog, facebook, twitter, pinterest and instagram...tumblr somehow always gets tossed aside for some reason.

Washington DC artist, Nicole Bourgea is an expressionist painter known for her life-sized portraits which are usually sold at $4000 a pop.
