long live art in the streets

public art, especially the spontaneous, compulsive kind makes me very happy. 
i was just looking through these photos that my good friend kate kelly took, and i am still so pleased that we shot our family portraits in such an artful, urban location.
i wanted to find out more about my favorite mural, and through the magic of search engines i quickly discovered the artists' names and more about their work.  here is more about her.  and here is more about him. i also found this really great little map of portland murals.
