There are few bare surfaces in the abandoned naval base in Bywater, New Orleans. Everything — from tags and throw-ups to sophisticated pieces — covers its exterior, interior and rooftops. Featured above is the work of New Orleans-based Reader, You Go Girl, along with others. What follows is a selection of images I captured there last week:
Read aka Reader, OYE, Booker, Bones and more
Half Dead & more
Heam
Tard
Tubman & more
