I found these images at Wooster Collective, a wonderful archive of brilliant street art such as this one. this piece is by an artist named Candy Chang. She turned the side of an abandoned house into a giant chalkboard in order for people to consider what they would like to accomplish before they die. I think her idea was insanely successful. The space she used was abandoned, and i like this because most graffiti artist don't take time to find a location or wall that is not being used or part of a vacant house. Places such as these seem much more appropriate spots to post their work. I don't know if i can really make up a story to go along with this piece because i read the story behind it already. But i can only the imagine that this project was a positive addition to the community that it was painted in. read more! http://candychang.com/before-i-die-in-nola/
