I found these angels in a park in Santa Fe (near the Square). They’re carved wood, life size. Quite striking. I believe they are Native American in origin. But if anyone has any additional information about them, I would appreciate it.

Street Art (Rose St, Fitzroy, By Deb). Nikon D200. ISO 320. 55mm. 1/160 sec at f/13. Photo copyright Joanne Mason 2011.
I was browsing through the archives and came across this. I lived in Australia a few years ago and spent time in each of Melbourne and Sydney. (And loved every minute of it. Sigh… Wish I was back…) In Melbourne I lived in the suburb of Fitzroy, which is a wonderful blend of bohemian, and artsy in all the best ways (avoiding the awful psuedo-hipness that’s all around nowadays). In Fitzroy I was interested in a lot of the street art – of which Fitzroy has lots! (Click the above image for the full-frame of the new header.) This is by one of Fitzroy’s better known street artists, Deb. (Her sig is to the left of the two chicks.) (Additional work on it by Phibs and others.) Deb has done lots of the great street art in Fitzroy, as well as some commissioned storefronts on Brunswick Street. This image (since replaced by another work, I think) was on Rose Street, near the Rose Street Markets (a weekly artist and craftspersons market).
There’s a great website all about Fitzroy, “Fitzroyalty,” which has a large section on the street art of Fitzroy →go here. The page documenting this particular work by Deb is →here. - Joanne
