Here are some images I have taken around East Austin of artwork, architecture and landmarks that I think are representative of the culture.

If you know which artist is responsible for any of these projects, please let me know so I can credit them here.
If there is a special place in the neighborhood that I have missed, please let me know so I can include it.
