    BoxART West Newton

    This is another Newton BoxArtwork in West Newton near Sweet Tomatoes whose best side is not facing the street. I don’t know about you, but I am mixed on the woman’s face. It might be the greenish hue, but sometimes it doesn’t bother me, and sometimes it does. It freaks out my kids though.

    What do you think? What side do you like the best?

    Auburndale BoxART: Best Side is Hard to See

    This boxARTwork is easy to miss, especially the sides and back. It’s also much lovelier up close than when viewed from a passing car.

    Urban Art: BoxART in Allston Versus Newton

    I saw this vibrant BoxART in Allston near the Allston Farmer’s Market. You can tell that this is urban street art: one side of the BoxART is defaced with graffiti which is a shame! Do you see it on the lower left hand photograph near the dove? How do you think this compares to Newton BoxArt?

    Have you noticed the gorgeous artwork that has been beautifying the city on those drab electrical boxes? On all 4 sides too! Newton BoxArt projects are everywhere.
    We saw our guy working on his below on Commonwealth Avenue at Washington Blvd. It’s timely! And coincides well because this is the turn to the bottom of Boston Marathon’s infamous Heartbreak Hill! I like how there are 4 sides that connect into a 3 dimensional piece of art.

    p.s. This is at Commonwealth Avenue at Walnut Street. It’s so perfect because it’s near Newton Free Library and Newton City Hall! I don’t think that this placement is a coincidence!
