STREET ART: RESOURCES OF THE STREET

1. TRAFFIC BARREL MONSTER
Man created public art with items swiped from construction site.

JUNE 12- A North Carolina man is facing criminal charges for creating an amusing piece of public art from construction barrels. Joseph Carnevale, 21, was nabbed Wednesday after a Raleigh Police Department investigation determined that he was responsible for the work constructed May 31 on a roadway adjacent to North Carolina State University. Carnevale was charged with misdemeanor larceny for allegedly building his orange monster from materials pilfered from a construction site. According to an arrest warrant, Carnevale "destroyed three road blocking barrels by cutting and screwing them together to form a statue." Police estimated that Carnevale's artwork caused $360 in damages to Hamlett Associates, the North Carolina construction company that owned the barrels. Carnevale is scheduled for a July 21 court appearance in Wake County.



















2. LOLIPOP METER
A DC-based pranster/artist named Mark Jenkins has unleashed his latest prank upon the world - parking meters-turned-lollipops...I wonder if everyone gets tickets for not putting money in the lollipop meter.
