Woman at the corner of Petworth Liquors

Such a really nice mural and its by Petworth Liquors...Why? Great color composition with an active street scene to her left.
As I've been adding this Google map Street views, its kinda cool seeing that most of these posts and the associated street pieces usually don't appear. I haven't been able to find if Google calls out when the photos are taken but I curious if they are recent.
Well is a perfect example of where street art can really activate the street scape and improve the areas surrounding. I wonder how these pieces are "protected" by other artists. Maybe there's an unspoken rule, if there isn't, there should be :)

Blue Woman

This is an interesting one... A angular sketch of a woman resting on her upright arm looking at something. I have no clue if it means anything but may mean something to the owner or at least no one has had a problem with it. I mention this because just around the corner, there's was a OBEY tag, holding a sign saying something along the lines of "thanks Fenty..." at least for what I remembered. I wish I snapped a shot (actually I was going for that one before this one) but it got hit with black spray paint. Maybe a competing street artist? Nah, I imagine they would have been a bit more creative...the spraying was not far off of what a 7 year old would be capable of. Now the OBEY tag is completely painted over...I wonder what lies in future for the blue lady, I guess we'll see. It snowed that day, nothing crazy but made it a bit difficult with some of the shots. This shot doesn't represent the fact it was snowing at all, and the snow (flurries) ones weren't that great. I'm hoping to get a decent one, capturing snow in a creative setting.
