Art …… And How To Get It
To See some High Res images of some of my favorite pieces please click on http://urbanwallart.see.me/ and click the blue “Support” button. Please show your support!
The blog only has a small fraction of the pieces I do. The majority of my pieces are sold already or are featured at one of my exhibitions but I make pieces weekly for people and businesses worldwide.
About Me:
I am an East Coast based artist who, through my work, seeks to utilize various harmonies and ideas to visually engage the audience. I also use my art as an opportunity to experiment with the range of possibilities allowed through my choice of materials, spray paint and hand cut stencils.
My work captures spaces of partial or full illumination between the perfect shadows on all sides of a person or an object. The artwork conveys the real beauty of the subject. The viewer is able to appreciate the simplicity, splendor and exquisiteness of my work and the subject. The work is raw, it’s stripped back, it’s honest.
I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.
How It Is Made:
I hand cut the stencils out, no matter how big, with an X-Acto knife. Yep, even the 8ft x 10ft wall murals are all done with the same attention to detail. I then use the stencils to create the pieces you see on this site.
Like what you see? Email me and let me know what I can make for you or perhaps you like a particular image you see here and just want it on canvas or on your wall.

Hi Ray– I’ve enjoyed visiting your site and admiring you work—as an art teacher, I have truly enjoyed your style, technique and overall work. Keep up your wonderful work!!
blessings–Julie
Love all the latest work. Great to see an artist constantly developing their way of seeing and expressing their wolrd.
I mentioned your site (and your art naturally) on my recent post. Over my last year of blogging yours is one of the sites I’ve come to for inspiration. The Liebster ‘award’ I offer is my way of saying thank you for making the web a spiffier place.
Love your art work, stunning…
This is exactly the type of work I would like adorning my own walls one day. I’m in moving transition right now, but do you sell pieces you’ve already done, or only do work on a per-commission basis?
Fantastically compelling pictures. I can’t help but feel this is the kind of thing the world needs to see a lot more of.
Amazing work! You are very talented! I hope one day to see some of your live work!
I love your beautiful work Ray. Stunning! (from one artist to another)

Your art is so wonderfully punchy! I love its effectiveness at conveying emotion through simple black and white images.
super photos
Your art is inspiring and amazing, something worth keeping. I love your work. God bless your talent. Take care.
Your work is amazing! One of my daughters is studying art and psychology in college. She wants to be an art therapist. Even though I am not artistic at all, I have certainly learned to appreciate good art when I see it.
I enjoyed looking at your artwork. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful work here. I’m going to follow your progress! Much luck.
Diggin’ your stuff!
Your work is really fresh and cool!! Awesome work!
Come along to Tanner Street (off Tower Bridge Road in Southwark, London) if you are ever in the area. They are trying to get something started in the buildings there
WoW! You got something great going on here. Keep it up man
Yours is very cool.
Art is such a personal and soulful endeavor so all the best to you in 2013!
Looks like something I want to do with my shoes
Awesome job you did there. Kudos!
Beautiful art work.
I love your artwork.
I love your artwork. The most amazing thing to me is that you do it with spray can’s (I know stencil too). The last time I had a spray can in my hand was when I was 16, rebellious, & in a destructive mode. I would join the boys to spray paint Homies or pachucos (spanish slang) on available walls.
I am now 44 and admire art from the audience instead. Thank you for sharing your artwork with us.
I have nominated you for the Beautiful Blogger Award.
great talent with your artwork!
I truly look forward to experiencing your site.
Hi Ray! I nominated you to the one lovely blog award + the very inspiring blogger award because your work is so inspiring and cool STAY AWSOME!

Woah! You have some awesome works here man! Amazing
great work!! its interesting to see you do stencil work ; exactly what I do, only you specialize on faces and emotions. Great detailing and especially the eyes which are the soul of a portrait. I admire your talent…first cutting a stencil of a portrait and then spray painting and then coming up with such great expressions in your art.
I like the way you capture candid moments in your art. Definitely nice art pieces here.
That’s rad about being able to showcase some works in Times Square…now if your art could take the place of just about every advertisement there…
Your work is awesome. Glad I cam across your blog
Your artwork is amazing and so inspiring!! Keep it up!
Have to say that your art is amazing! You are so talented and dedicated to detail. I especially find the photos of the children drawing me in – very cool.
Your stuff is really groovy. Take it easy
Love your work, it’s truly stunning
Love, Anna
Nice,I appreciate your work.
Love your work.

Wow!! Your artwork is beyond incredible. I have only browsed through a couple of your entries so far, but each image is such a treat. Jaw-dropping, powerful, and infused with emotion and delicate detail all at the same time. It blows my mind, particularly when I remind myself that you are often working on a large scale. Thank you so much for creating these amazing works of art — and for sharing them, too!
Enjoy your work man. Would love to get your thoughts!
Good Luck on your Artistic Career. I hope you find much success-the art world can be very hard and competitive. I wish i knew the secret to successfully selling my paintings, but sending you good and peaceful vibes. Hope you have a good following.

Your artwork is stunning. I can’t wait to read more of your posts.
very cool…
Great work! That’s really impressive.

I’m a volunteer at a charity for young people called Focus and a member of the Youth Action Team which is part of the charity. We often run a variety of community projects helping the elderly, other charities and other projects.
Recently we did a ‘Cardboard City’ project where we campaigned for awareness of the issue of homelessness in which we slept rough in cardboard for the night. It’d be amazing to get in touch and use your art for when we get funding to do another similar project.
Absolutely!! Contact me separately to discuss.
People like yourself that can capture so much more than an image amaze me. You have a great talent

your art is awesome!
Hi Ray. Great work here!

Wow! I praise God for you, your gift, and your big heart! You have amazing works! How can people say there’s no God when God is evident in your awe-inspiring art? I hope to be one of your subjects some time. Or my kids maybe. My husband and I have no blown up picture from our wedding day yet and you might just be the man God wants us to wait for. But we don’t know if we can afford you.
But who knows? With God, all things are possible. May God continue to bless you as you touch the lives of others with your awesome art!
Your work is quite remarkable! What a gift you have.
I love the images you have posted here. They are inspirational!

Cool.
I love your way of seeing. If you are interested I can send you photos from sites I have worked on and backstage. One of my favorite things is to stand on the Mid rail backstage and look across the flies before a show opens. I would love to see how you see it!
There is a wonderful feeling of connection that I feel to your artwork. It draws me in and invites contemplation of the subject. This is a unique talent you have and you apply it in a most pleasing and creative way.
Beautiful work!

Your B&W world reminds me of when I lived in NYC on E 11th, many many years ago. You do excellent work.
You have a lot of great stuff! I admire you attention to detail and your dedication to hand cut the stencils. I think it is something I would do if I did stencils – sort of an obsessive attention to detail
