""Although the Art Loop Open is the hot event of the week in Chicago, instead below are images of a brand spanking new collaboration by two very talented artists Brooks Golden and Hebru Brantley. The other image is the production line – also known as Tempestt and Nicolette attack.""

~Chicago Art Magazine Blog.. Top Street Art Picks for the Month of September

(FROM THEIR WEBSITE)

By Fruzsina Eordogh

"The street art of September was so very plentiful.

I like to think I am partially responsible for the proliferation, but I know there are greater forces at work besides my delusions of grandeur, forces much more mundane – like the coming cold weather. Tiptoe has returned from his holiday, and the respectable (now ” retro” ) Senor Codo has reemerged with his pac-man inspired stickers and baseball-capped figures, a staple of his since 2006".

(then some extremely generous words by the author)
"If a street art king could be crowned for the month of September, that king would be Brooks Golden. Not only is his work at the Sixty Inches from Center exhibit, but this year he was invited to participate in the Meeting of Styles Chicago event for the first time'.

~ Studio Chicago Art Blog.."They do It for free"...

from their website...


...Skill and studio practice
"Within the last two decades contemporary street art has become widely popular amongst many artists who combine both traditional studio practice and self-taught skills such as “graffiti writing”. Graffiti Writing is comprised of self-designed graphic font, text and symbols. Not all street artists have a background in graffiti writing and not all graffiti writers are practicing street artists. Participating artists in Sixty Inches From Center: Contemporary Graffiti are Jova el Grafista, Hebru Brantley, Brooks Golden and Blutt who all work with a variety of media and uniquely incorporate traditional elements of graffiti style. Like all the artists in the exhibition, they all work in and out of the studio".
