South Austin graffiti is getting a little over the top.

"Fallen Zeros" Sculpture By Paul Beck, Austin Texas
story by

Paul Beck's new work Fallen Zeros or sometimes he calls the work Bum Island Bum Bunny on South Congress, Austin Texas.
This is the latest pop-up sculpture by Austin Artist Paul Beck.
Paul's work comes across with a little humor and satirical bite but his real purpose for the work is to call attention to people left on the streets do to mental illness and addiction issues. The work is made from discarded newspapers that are formed to take the shape of man rabbit caring a sack.
"Austin is receive a total make over for the rich. The people left on the streets are a neglected part of this cities remodeling." Paul Beck "The work honors our fallen Zeros. We can do better then just ignoring these people who need help." Paul also explains "Using the bunny head for me makes the sculpture cute, palatable to look at. The real issue is not cute or pretty maybe that is why we look away. Hopefully we can now look and discus this tragedy. And go the next level."

Will you could stay home watching Kim Kardashian, American Idol, Real World, Girls Gone Wild, Sports, and other various forms of mind numbing programs while the wealth remodel the system. Or you could watch Marfa be buried by Logos. Like the recent Marfa Playboy sign. Oh sorry just thinking out loud. Oh and you could support Charles Saatchi the galleriest who chokes his wife Nigella Lawson, in public. and there's Miley Cyrus shorts think about. Brain wasted.
It's positive, smart artist like Paul Beck who has said,
"Make positive change for people who are blown out of the game." and that can't be a bad thing.

Ghost Army on South Congress street art
What is with the white ghost army men on South Congress? Tiny white ghost army men have been appearing on the hip Austin Texas street. Tourist and locals are surrounded. Some Street Artist has targeted trendy South Congress. We are trying to talk to Paul Beck about the ghost army.
Hispters may be disappearing in Austin and that may be a good thing so that the art will get more attention then someones skinny jeans and smarmy mustache.
