New Street Art in Oakland


New Street Art in Oakland, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

Just ran across this piece this morning. It looked like it had been installed very recently. Construction looks like thinset mortar over an ad-hoc armature.

It's located where 22nd St meets Franklin -- right near Broadway. This puts it fairly close to 21 Grand & Mamabuzz; it wouldn't surprise me if somebody in that circle had a hand in this piece. Probably not Justin Artifice, though. It just doesn't look like their work to me. Less polished and aggressively social commentaryish.

The figure is pointing nearly due West, toward Broadway.
