Street "tagger" artist Aaron Gaglia, recently transplanted to Austin from Pittsburgh, just painted this great looking mural on the outside wall of South Austin’s Do512:
At a party hosted by Do512 on Friday, tons of people lined up to talk to Aaron, and he is already setting up jobs in his newly adopted city. He’s looking to create a "legit" art career down in Austin, after having experienced a little less appreciation from South Pittsburgh. Go Aaron!
Do512, "What to Do in Austin", is a popular Austin events site started by my brother Jimmy Stewart and marketing/developer whiz Scott Owens. You can use it to find out about thousands of cool things happening in Austin — art, music, theater, film, happy hours, special events, etc.— ranked in order of popularity. You can listen to bands, read reviews, watch videos, follow the recommendations of friends or other local media, and share your picks with others.

It was pretty amazing to watch this guy work. He used cans of spray paint only, and although he did a brief sketch of the design, he didnt even refer to it once….he did it all from his head. Now we have a head-turning mural that also serves as a billboard for Do512, visible to passing traffic.
