Keith Haring, 1981

Here’s some early morning Urban Art with the characteristic cartoon-like imagery of Keith Haring’s iconic Street Art. The two figures with interlocked arms, one of the artist’s familiar subjects, was spray painted on a large piece of plywood, which was once part of a construction fence.

Happy Birthday Yayoi

“…a polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots become movement… Polka dots are a way to infinity.” -Yayoi Kusama

Painter, sculptor, and filmmaker Yayoi Kusama celebrates her 84th birthday today! Born in Matsumoto City, the famously provocative avant-garde artist is best known for her works featuring psychedelic imagery that evoke themes of psychology, feminism, obsession, sex, and intense self-reflection.
