Street art gets the drill down from the NY Times today, with a look at the emergence of people who use paint, wheat paste, and more to create a version of art beyond grafitti. Reporter Kirk Semple speaks to Swoon and Obey Giant's Shepard Fairey, as well the Wooster Collective, about the lofty motivations, but the author of INY, Kelly Burns, sums it up well, "[Breaking the law is what] people really love about it: getting over on the man." But some other artists don't get over on the man: De La Vega was found guilty last month.
The Wooster Collective has photographs of street art and Bluejake took some great photos from a few days ago (days 1, 2) of some of the art-ed up streets in question.
