Nero

The streets in the vicinity of North 10th off Spring Garden Street in Philly are home to an intriguing array of street art. Pictured above is the work of Glossblack, a Philadelphia-based artist with roots in graffiti. What follows are several more images — all by Philly-based artists — that I captured on my recent wanderings around one of my favorite cities.

For the past several days, over two dozen artists — from writers to muralists —  have been busily transforming a huge block along Boone Avenue at 174th Street. Here are a few more images that we captured these past two days from Writers Block organized by Wen Cod:
