lets take this to the streets

I recently found information on a Seattle based artist who goes by the name of the "Chicken Kid" spreading his work around the U.S. by means of an oddly skewed version of a chicken as well as other awkwardly drawn visuals. The chicken kid exposes a street style unique to the outside street art world, and with it he spreads his name across states in the most peculiar places. He places his drawings anywhere from the backboard of a basketball hoop, to the high-rise of a city bridge, and also has the capability to compose large scale drawings on the street which is difficult mainly because you are not able to see the drawing as a whole while you are working on it, but in piece by piece phases instead. I believe the backbone of the chicken kid stems from his ability to produce in studio art as well, targeting different audiences with different techniques that involve similar subjects. He continuously stays true to what brought his name up between a group of teens at breakfast, or in an old couple’s conversation mid power walk. He produces what he is known for, but provides style changes to experiment and blanket his work over social diversity.
For the Chicken Kid’s inside work he provides a collection of stick figure comic drawings, digitally composed work, and a folder of various mediums he labels “analog” to provide an underlying meaning or cause in their presentation.

His organization has provided him with an entire website or his work where you can not only buy paintings, etc. but t-shirts as well.

I enjoy his humor in the places he chooses to expose his work.
