Beautiful Crime: Recognizing Street as Art.

Beautiful Crime
a wonderful site on Street art.

"Beautiful Crime" is such an appropriate name for this site. Have you ever walked down a city street and been struck by graffiti? Even if it wasn't a Picasso or Rembrandt there is something intriguing about it. The colors, the excitement, the fact that it is not supposed to be there is almost a rush and it gives personality to a city block.


The first picture is "Killer Rabbits" by Pure evil

"Twisted pop gothic artist Pure Evil conjures a visual narrative featuring his signature vampire bunnies let loose in New York on growth hormones." - Beautiful Crime

The second image is "Satan Wins!" By Neckface

" Neckface whispers urban myths and dark secrets in curious places, lost in the public gaze of our cities. He is currently the most prolific and idiosyncratic street artist in New York." - Beautiful Crime
