- Allen Taylor's album art for Warning Light's Wild Silver
Georgia native Allen Taylor, who creates both visual art and music, has received recognition for his album art on Warning Light's new album Wild Silver. Vice magazine has singled Taylor's work out as the best album cover of the month. To learn more about Taylor's work, watch the Streetela video spotlighting him here.
Brooklyn Street Art photographer Jamie Rojo put together a video of some of 2011's standout street art and graffiti pieces from around the country. Definitely worth a look, the video features prominent Living Walls artists like Swampy, Gaia and ROA among others.
Atlanta-based artist Evereman has been leaving his geometric-faced character around Atlanta for years, but he has recently experimented with new mediums to spread his character throughout the city. As opposed to the usual Evereman characters made from stickers, wood blocks complete with magnets, and metal; Evereman has opted for using projectors to broadcast his character onto walls around the city. Check out a video of these projections here.

Finally, street artist Brad Downey is giving a lecture tonight at 1037 Monroe Drive NE at 7 p.m. His most recent work, Spontaneous Sculptures, involves changing or adding elements within urban environments to create humorous moments or interactions with his audience.
