New book catalogs Austin's street art, murals, mosaics, and graffiti. Jmuzaczyo
Graffiti artists see through a lens, one of unutilized spaces and uncelebrated locations. As Austin grows we consider our urban spaces and density. Do we choose boring? Is it chosen for us? Does an absentee investment group dictate our visual surroundings?
Austin's public art has shifted culturally with the popularity of Banksy and the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Some is paid for by the city and corporations, and some is just artists grabbing a space. Some of it moves on trains, some flashes by on billboards. There is art for car drivers, bike riders, and pedestrians. People watch you make it or it just appears magically on your commute.
Muzacz even included blank pages in the back for collectors to add artists' signatures, and at one event in December he handed out gold, silver, and black Sharpies with the book. He said,"Since the book launch in November, we've hosted a few booksigning events, two exhibitions at 2324 [Studios] and Something Cool Studios, with a third show planned for this August at the Hill Country Galleria Art Center in Bee Cave.
Following Muzacz's technique of letting the community take the lead, I chatted with the artists about their contributions to the book, and to Austin's public art."'The Tupac' mural on Sugar Mama's Bakeshop stands out. I painted it in 2019 because I wanted more hip-hop representation on the walls in Austin. I approached Sugar Mama's about it and they were happy to offer up the wall. It is my most tagged mural in Austin. Lol.
