Obama Street Art Keeps Happening

The Obama street-art phenomenon isn’t slowing down.

Tracy Clayton is an “avid reader” and a “hip hop purist” who grew up in Miami. His mother is Filipina and his father is African American, which gives him an outlook that he wants to “share […] with the world.” Tracy is a “wannabe photog,” so when he’s not at his day job working as a communications consultant in DC, he’s “letting the shutter fly.” This shot is from the streets of the capital.

Robert Stribley is a “restless” Aussie/American information architect in New York City. He likes taking pictures of the street art in his neighborhood.

Stephanie Araujo (featured here) caught this artist working on his painting at an Obama rally in Miami’s Bicentennial Park.

Dave C. is a laid-back “night owl” from Belleville, Illinois, who works a second shift as a machinist in St. Louis, just across the state line. He saw this mural in North St.L. (Thanks, James Mills.)

This last one isn’t street art in quite the same way — but it’s art that happened on the street through the lens of Mike Rengel. It’s also from St. Louis, and it shows Wyoming St. and Grand St. reflected on a huge Obama poster in the window of a campaign office.

The “Grand St.” sign shows up just below Obama’s right eye — as though Mike positioned it there as a commentary on Obama’s political vision.
