Guerrilla Art #19

Technically, I did not find this work on the streets, I found it on the web. I have actually been looking to buy a fabulous stencil art (or silkscreen) print for my home. I have been looking at Blek Le Rat, Shepard Fairey, and SPQR (with my hero, Banksy, being waaaayyy out of my price range)...when I realized that I am myspace friends with a fantastic artist called R.A.F. I really love his style, using high contrast, but also layering in many elements that create much more dimension than other stencil/silk-screen artists. His work often incorporates socio/political influences, which always catches my eye. I love his use of color, and am digging his recent helmet series. Apparently, record companies dig him too, as his work has graced more than a few album covers. The above is my fave....I hope he has some available for me!
If you live in NYC, you can find his work at
