The latest art from the Velvet Bandit [Picture from Velvet herself]
[Our] favorite street artist the Velvet Bandit installed her latest piece along a stretch of Highway 101 near Ukiah this weekend reminding northbound drivers of the fleeting preciousness of life.
In bold blue-green, Velvet’s latest piece is a call to action: “Be Brave With Your Life”. The anthemic slogan is bookended by flowers with fuchsia petals.
Velvet has made quite a name for herself throughout the North Bay with her paste-up style of street art. Her art is colorful, punny, striking, and bold often offering thoughts of encouragement or optimistic resistance.
By day she works as a lunch lady and by night she becomes the Velvet Bandit. She paints her images and text in her garage and uses a biodegrable paste to display them on drab civic infrastructure.
Can you tell us exactly where the Velvet’s latest piece can be found?
