I am an internationally recognized 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.
There are a lot more pieces to put up so perhaps over time I will get them up. I wanted to have a place on the blog where people can just see the images if that is what they want to look at. I have about 100+ more to add of personal work i have done for clients and businesses, both on canvas or as a mural and will get to it! For now, ENJOY!!! Comments are always loved!!

powerful stuff
Thank you so much for the follow. May the Lord richly bless you more abundantly in the name of Jesus Christ.
[…] Some Images… […]
Brilliant Technique. Love your work.
Hi there, I love your art works. they’re really beautiful
Awesomeness! Like your choices of subject, too
Simply….wow.
I can tell that you’ve got talent. It’s clear that you understand the principle of “Contrast”. If the sheer number comments doesn’t tell you, I will: you have great artwork 🙂
I llove your art and enjoyed viewing it. I’m always amazed at the talent & ability to transfer what’s in our minds’ eye onto canvas or whatever medium. I’m a musician, I find joy in just playing my bass alone & writing certain lines from my thought process. Anyway, just wanted to say your work is wonderful!
Thank you!!
Inspired!
Ray, you’re work has kept me busy gawking. I’m impressed, sir. Some of it is border line abstract with just a hint of the concrete. “Sometimes the world is so beautiful, I don’t know if I can take it.”
-From American Beauty, the film.
Nice work!
Thank you
Love it Ray! Thanks for introducing me to your work.
I like Jim Morrison. I love the Doors. 😀
Exceptionally detailed…bold, delicate…and lots of life. Have you seen Exit Through the Gift Shop?
These are beautiful! I enjoyed watching your video, too!
I’m amazed at how well you capture the moods in your paintings. Simply brilliant.
Wow great stuff! Love your art.
Wow! Your work leaves me speechless.
Your work is amazing – you have such a unique style! I’ve always loved mural and wall art – the traditions behind it going back to Rivera, Orozco, and other Mexican artists and how it has evolved in ‘modern’ times on urban walls.
Absolutely incredible! I can’t help but smile as I view your work. 😀
Honored! Thank you
You’re very welcome!
Very thought-provoking. You see the world like it really is, not just the surface colours…..
If you can do something coffee inspired…like a close up of the coffee cup and elaborating the steam coming off the coffee…that would be amazing 🙂
email me at reinaldoferrer@gmail.com and lets chat about this
Beautiful work…
Fantastic!
Thank you 🙂
I love the feel of these black and whites. Excellent style
Thank you!! Im honored and flattered

Oh I do! Ha. Thank you
Really incredible. I love your artistic process; it’s so intricate
Beautiful art! I love the one: little girl all alone with hair blowing to the side. Just gorgeous. Also love the hand on the neck of a guitar.
Thank you so much!
[…] Ray Ferrer – Emotion On Canvas This is one of the very first blogs I followed. I just love his artwork, which I think speaks […]
I love your work. I live in a big city and love wall art.
The Johnny Cash mural is sick. I also love the cyclone one and all the subway paintings.
Very real.
Great job man.
Thanks for the opportunity to find out about your work. What strikes me most is that you treat your younger subjects with the same respectful intensity as your adult subjects. Your works show so much esteem for humanity.
Thank you so much!!!
Amazing collection my friend, extraordinary gift 🙂
Very beautiful. I Think you are a great artist!!!!
Thank you so much
Love Consent!
I love these since I’m a big Bansky fan!

Startling work. Every time I see superb work like this I’m inspired to improve on my stripped to the basics style
Thank you!!
Amazing work! Love it!
Thank you!!
Beautiful use of space, contrasts, and subject matter!
wow! your work is awesome! i am a fan!
Thank you so much! 😉
Awesome work, can’t ignore that fact. Hard though it was my fav pick is the image of the face with bandages. Invokes calm in my mind.
I stopped by to see your art — it is amazing. Peace, L.
Quite good!
Thank you!
Love your work, Ray!
Amazing work!
Thank you!! Honored and flattered
love it makes me feel young
Wow, I really love your artwork!! I’ve attempted the stenciling once or twice and it was a lot of fun, but definitely took a lot of work. You have a real talent!
[…] I recently discovered a fellow blogger’s work whom I was absolutely blown away by, check out: urbanwallart.wordpress.com/portfolio-images/ – an artist who uses spray paint on canvas to create unique works of art! Now that is what I […]
WOW! You are a creative genius, you craft is very BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING! I felt a little nostalgia when I some a few of your artwork that captured the glimpses of NYC. The Cyclone canvas brought back childhood memories when I went to Coney Island every summer!
Thank you! I still actually have a Cyclone stencil if you are interested in a cyclone piece 🙂
Loving your work–so stark and expressive.
Amazing. I love the piece of the chess match. Reminds me of always losing to my dad.
I love it when I’ve been here before — but enjoy it as much a second time. That’s talent~!
Mr. Mojo Risin himself… Very cool.
Beautiful work!
Your caption sums your art up perfectly – ‘Emotions on Canvas’ – Absolutely beautiful. I look forward to your future work.
Wow! You have an incredible gift! These are absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much
Absolutely amazing-I love your work!! I’m actually headed to Toronto tomorrow and saw you mentioned some of your art work will be displayed. Do you have specific location? I’d really love to see your work in person, i mean it’s amazing online but in person must be just unreal!! Amazing!!
Your pictures are great. 🙂
The lady on the bicycle is so cool!! Where could I buy a print?
Anything I have available is listed here…prints and paintings 🙂 https://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanWallArt
Nice images.
I love your work — it has power and immediacy. I especially like the way you show the person behind the face.
Wow. You are extremely talented. Your work is fantastic! My favorites are the dandelion ones.
Beautiful. I absoluely love the black and white art.Thant you for sharing it with us.
I love your work! I’ve been wanting to help my daughter learn this spray paint on canvas style of art. I bought her all the materials, but now we need to get at it.
I am particularly attracted to black and white, threshold images in my own artwork, as you can see from my gravatar. So I particularly like what you’ve done with the style.
Might I ask what part of the world you live in? Or what part of the US?
I live in NYC / CT area 🙂
Awesome. I’ve never been up NE but someday. Thanks!
You are simply amazing. 🙂
Brightest Blessings to you!
You’ve got quite a gallery of beautiful and creative art. Keep it coming.
love it.
Love it! Do you have a website where you sell your art?
Yes! Here is the link. On the left there are categories. Art Prints and then Original Art that I still have. If you see an original piece you like I can give you a discount possibly. https://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanWallArt
Thanks!!
Do you have a print of the dandelion one?
I would happily make one for you. Email me at reinaldoferrer@gmail.com
Seriously cool stuff, love it
🙂 Thank you
Your work is just awesome!
Thank you 🙂
Extremely talented
Fantastic work. Excellent.
These are fantastic images.
Your artwork is so beautiful. Do you have any locations where your art is permanently displayed? I would love to see some of it in person. If there are such places, it would be helpful if you had a page on your blog listing these locations. Thanks!
Wow! You are incredible talented… I love your art and your style. When I was looking at all your photos, I tried to choose a favourite but I couldn’t… they are all so amazing and unique. Beautiful!
Thank you so much!!
What lovely images! You are a very talented artist.
Love the dandelion!
Your work is absolutely amazing!! Keep up the great job man.
Your artwork is lovely. Keep dreaming, darling. 🙂
What is the address of your solo exhibition in New London,CT? That’s close to me and I might like to go.
It is listed on my events page 🙂 Hope to see you there!
Wow! Your talent is amazing.
Fantastic images. Great impact. Thank you for sharing them.
Sensitive power,
Graced in you.
Partially blind,
I am.
Yet clearly,
You helped
Me to see.
Gracious thanks.
Awesome Art. Simple, minimalist and few colours but still awesome. Its still a mystery to me how most artist do it and looking forward to learn more. Are youtube tips ok as guide? Thanks
I’ll keep your link in mind when colleagues are looking for art to complement their publishing.
I’m not exactly a visual artist, but your images were intriguing.
Your artwork is fantastic and impressive.
Great work! Love it!
Pretty awesome stuff. I always love to learn about artists who use a fresh approach with materials and methods!
Hi there! Your talent is beyond amazing! You almost have to reach deep inside your subject’s minds and souls to create such strong feelings of hope, strength, fear, courage, etc. Love your style!
Dionne
Really enjoy your art and seeing how you do it. Of course I am partial to the dandelions – exquisite.
So many powerful images – I can only imagine the stories behind the eyes of your subjects made more interesting by your technique.
The best thing about your work, to me, is that you seem to be thoroughly enjoying the freshness of being creative! And by the way, go Tigers!! Can’t beat a real Plainsman. I know cuz my big brother spent happy days at Auburn.
Love your style, so visually striking and unique!
Honored, Thank you!!
Intriguing and beautiful! Great talent!
Exquisite images!!
Oh my goodness! These images are mind-blowing!
Extraordinarily impressive work!
Thank you. If there is an image in particular you like I would be happy to include it as part of my deal mentioned in my latest post 🙂 Just let me know!
Wow! My first introduction to your work! I like it and find it veery dramatic–expressive on a number of planes.
Love your work! You’re extremely gifted! Thanks for sharing your talent.
These images are absolutely stunning! What stories they tell, and how powerfully they draw us in. Very, VERY, nice work.
You really did capture the emotion in their faces. Love them.
Your images are outstanding.
fuck yeah.
All of this is so enchanting… I love drawing and photography and this is amazing.
Wow, your work is haunting, beautiful, and so unique. Excellent work.
I love your work, especially the Hendrix and typewriters, and am going to save up to purchase one in the future!
Gotta love a woman carrying a trumpet! Thank you for your images.
Your work is fantastic. They are simple but speak volumes.
Thanks so much for sharing these. Amazing! Do you have any Beatles photos?
I have done one in the past. It is on my Facebook page and Instagram somewhere
I’ll try to find it, t/y
What a talent…your work is beautiful!!!
Interesting work.
Right now I find it difficult to drop a comment about your artwork. Others here have already echoed my first impression, and I’d rather share a critique explaining what I feel. Which makes this entire comment awkward–it’s never easy discerning emotion/feelings, although, you have this remarkable ability at capturing it well.
I felt sadness, joy, nostalgia, compassion,familiarity, hope. I wanted to meet the people behind the paint because they were alive and I felt that–through expression–I already new the majority of their back stories.Who takes crap from no one, who has a kind soul, who still has innocence inside, and who hasn’t a shred left of it.
Your talent evokes life. Thank you for showing people what humanity is all about.
I love your work, and the videos are great to watch. I like art as well and writing that can stand on its own, without a statement to explain it.
Hey Urban Wall art. I had to scroll down for so long to get to the comment field as you have so many! Wow – your work is wonderful. Thank you for being so committed. Maybe you fit the 10,000 hour rule. You are a genius.
One word…..Awesome!!!!!!!
Very clever. Awesome expression.
beautiful imagery, so crisp, love the contrasts between dark and light
Great stuff man!
How many comments?!! Great work.
I am very interested in your techniques and look forward to reading your blog from time to time.
Interesting – some quite obviously powerful and others quietly strong with the use of shadow and light as well as exposure. I think I need to send this to a friend of mine to have a look, he has a better eye than me (not by much but for this medium yeah I need to send him the url.)
My personal response is I want to spend more time here and look at some of these in detail – something, elusive but something. My mother is the collector in the family and her partner is an artist of some repute – respected not revered. However I spent most of my young years going from gallery to gallery, small showings, large, sidewalk and carpark and if we went overseas – well I’m sure you can imagine.
Thank you for sharing your work – a couple of them are going to follow me around for awhile I think.
I am honored and thankful for your thoughtful response! I appreciate your kind words regarding my work. I am constantly trying to capture emotion and evolve in my own medium, spray paint…
Have a wonderful day!
Great work of art!
Fantastic work!
If God ever asks, I’d say ” I’m having what he had,thank you! “
Love your images, Ray.
WOW, lost for words! You’re really talented!!!!!
Thank you so much! Very honored and flattered!
Are these all commissioned, or do you sometimes spot a plain wall that needs decorating?
A lot are commissioned and some I make and sell later. 🙂 Are you interested in something?
I enjoyed the look of the pieces and would love to see them in life.
Someone earlier noted the dandelion seeds dispersing I liked those a lot.
Your work is incredible and inspirational! Never seen anything like it. Hard to believe some of these are paintings and not photographs!
Wow, your artwork is truly incredible! I am a believer in artwork that looks realistic. You have done an amazing job capturing the shadows and realistic aspect! You’re truly talented! Very unique artwork.
You some great work:)
Mesmerizing images. Really good work.
Love the 50’s bar stools. Awesome stuff!
Thank you. Have you seen my latest post just now?
I particularly like the typewriter and dandelion images above. Keep up the great work! ~ Kate
There are some cool images here!
What a unique work of art.
Really very fascinating. Good luck with all of it.
Your work captures the inner soul.
Tres, tres cool! Thanks for following my blog.
Spectacular work! I, too, am attracted to the emotions evoked by faces and paintings. Really like your work
Yor work is wonderful – thought provoking and really enjoyable. I like it.
Wow awesome work! I can’t wait to come back and look closer!
I find your work awesomely creative! All best!
This is spray paint?!? I never knew spray paint could be so incredible! Rock on!
Love the scenes in the subway
Wonderful, surprising work!
very amazing blog. I like your works. you have talent and get more increment in this
“type-bar-mp” is great, very good work there.
What striking work! Such depth, with so much care and tenderness. Beautiful.
Very intriguing and engaging! It has the clarity of black-and-white photography, yet the colors and effects convey deeper and subtler moods and emotions. I enjoyed it and thank you for sharing!
You are gifted and your work is phenomenal!
Ray, you have an exceptional gift. Which I know required exceptional discipline, fostered by the realization that you could do more, be more.
Hello, and thank you. After reading your statement about the importance of the craftsmanship of each piece of art, I looked carefully at yours and appreciate this. I will also think about this in my own work. Best, Mary Ann
Great images; I particularly like the wistful look you have captured in third down, left column.
Letting your work do it’s own explaining is great. I specially like the image of the little boy at the hydrant.
Is that the Cyclone in Coney Island?
Terrific images.
Indeed it is. I have one on a 20″ x 16″ canvas if interested. I’m offering 50% off for the holidays 🙂
Absolutely amazing work!
I like how some of the softer edges suggest motion (especially on the pigeons), or a bright, glowing light.
I loved your artwork especially the flower releasing seeds which seems to be an analogy for how we too lose small pieces of ourselves with the passage of time. I also loved your Marilyn Monroe pictures. I know what you mean about wanting to simply display only your work on a site. That’s what I want to do with my photography blog!
I like your work! I’m a big fan of stencils and the unique look they provide. You appear to have mastered the medium!
These are amazing! I especially love the dandelions!
Your work is stunning. Very original. I love the interplay between grays, blacks and whites.
My friend, were he still alive, would have loved your work. He was an amazing artist and started off with spray paint. Seeing your work reminded me of his. Thank you for it.
Awesome work! I’m considering taking up your offer to customize my photo in your style for a holiday gift to my uncle, I’ll email you on that later on. Keep the creative juices flowing!
-Selene
You have a bold, evocative style.
wow… You are so talented! People like You inspires me! Keep it up and best of luck to You!
I love your choices.
Really talented and creative work!!!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing
Regards
Joana
Love your work
[…] images copied from – “https://urbanwallart.wordpress.com/portfolio-images/“ […]
Stunning work! I especially appreciate the play of light and dark in your work. The spaces “in between” hold as much magic as the color.
Very cool stuff!
It seems like u r trying to say something through each picture …… Images of memories …… Some glint of sadness in a few eyes ….. Its all too beautiful …. Too amazing ……
awesome….
Your art work is beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Outstanding talent and beautiful art! Love the use of light and contrast, especially the facial features. I’ll certainly enjoy seeing more of your artwork, Ray. Cheers!
Wow! I’m really amazed by your work. I’m definitely going to show my Art students your work to see how inspired they get.
I need to get my art game back on
Hey Ray,
I love your work and cannot even imagine how the did the Dandelions piece with spray paint?!! Have you considered adding a video portion of you at work on such a piece on your site? Crazy amazing!!!
Great work! I especially like the old man on the bike as it reminds me of my grandfather! Thanks for showing us your work!
Master pieces of art.
[…] just that with his blog Ray Ferrer – Emotion on Canvas. A beautiful blog that is filled with breathtaking art, this blogger has grabbed my […]
Love the way you capture the moment in each picture….the people, scenes, all speak their own story…
Lovely art, I especially like the eerie, slightly blurry quality.
OSM WORK. LOVE IT
Unbelievable. Period.
Very nice work, I really like your images of people in the subway trains, reminds me of the 10 years I lived in NYC!
Thank you! Next couple of days every canvas in my shop is 50% off using code BLOG50. https://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanWallArt
Absolutely awesome work!
Love the art!
Wonderful art.
Truly amazing…..I especially love the black & whites!
It is great to see real talent. Keep up the artwork!
Pretty creative stuff.
Wow, there are some amazing pics here. I love the play of light and shade on what looks like fire escape stairs. You are very talented to do this with spray paint.
Man your art is very cool.. reminds me of some of the stuff I had to do when I was a fine arts major. Cool stuff.. I know how much works it takes to create something like the things you do.
Beautiful artwork!
I particularly like the pigeons and the small person-silhouette
Lovely work and very inspiring.
Exquisite pieces!
I especially love the close up of the eye!
Amazing artwork, both in style and technique.
Gorgeous pieces of art over here!
I feel like I’ve seen your work about town before. Very Deja-Vu! My favorites are the civil rights movement and subway pieces. Will be following your blog as well to see what you get up to!
seriously man you are too good. i am waiting for some tips.
I always think the word Amazing is over-used. But I need to say it here! 😉
Wow! Gifted, talented, skilled, creative and impressive! Very nice work.
Beautiful! Very beautiful! Great work! 🙂
Your work is amazing .:)
I love high-contrast art. Yours is practically glowing. The subway paintings and light through the fire escape…especially moving, because how often do we see these things and think nothing of them?
Thank you! I am flattered and honored!
you made an amazing job..very smart…good luck.
Love it
Stunning work. All the best. L.
Really enjoying your images. Also digging your comments on quality versus content in your “about” section. Needs to be said sometimes!
WOW!!! What handsome images you have created. Thanks for sharing them.
Hi, urbanwallart! I enjoyed your art gallery. It is amazing. My favorite is the dandelion;it reminds me of being a child. Your use of the medium is impressive.
The Cyclone piece is amazing. What a great perspective. I also love that you and your wife create some of these pieces together. That’s what marriage should be!
Really digging your work. You really have a great feel for your medium and it comes through in your art. Looking forward to seeing more/being able to afford a piece!
Hello, hello!
Thanks ever so for your interest in my blog. I’ve enjoyed looking at your artwork. Dare I ask how you do it? I’m a lover of real art, and I suppose, as with most people, I especially love art that I can connect with because of some personal memory or association. My favourite of your pictures above is the dandelion, but I am a nature loving sort of girl.
May much inspiration continue to be yours!
Thank you! I create a stencil that I cut free hand using a razor blade. I have a process video on my blog. Please go have a look. It will sum things up a bit.
Also, I am running a giveaway now for the 3ft x 3ft painting of the dandelion piece you like. Anyone who purchases a painting large or small is entered to win that piece for free. I am also making it real sweet by offering bloggers an additional 50% off this for the next few days. Crazy but I love making good work affordable to everyone.
What amazing talent you have! I’d love to know more about the piece with the diner stools – it really spoke to me. In all of them though, your poignant use of shadow and expert hands are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
These are EXCELLENT 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Incredible work! Love the detail, and I feel that you are achieving your goal here – even over the web one gets a real sense of power and emotion. Fabulous!
Thank you! I appreciate it! Have you seen the latest post? I am offering a large giveaway! The smaller pieces are going quickly but there are still some great pieces.
These images are fabulous! I can see how large the installations must be but these are wonderful.
Thank you. They range in size. Check out my latest post. I’m giving away a piece.
Your stencil work is always top-notch.
Your work seems very interesting and powerful, out of the paintings in this gallery, my personal favourite is probably the one named Intuition. The eyes of the girl are very alive, whereas the simplicity of the colouring gives stark contrast to the feelings I believe she is going through. I also like The Dandelion very much, especially the one with blue/black colour scheme. I am a big fan of nature and plant themed art, so Dandelion is close to my heart.
But I also very much like the portraits, especially the ones with newspaper or orange backgrounds. These would really make beautiful art for streets or lobbies; or even private homes.
I will add your blog to the ones I am following.
You are a talented artist. Very good work.
Absolutely breathtaking art! You have a new stalker. 🙂 See you soon.
This is my first time viewing your work. To say that you’re talented is an understatement. Keep doing what you love.
I must say your work is incredibly evocative. I really like the Johnny Cash one. Are you using a screen printing technique in your work? Just curious too as to what type of paints you are using.
Great work! Wish you were out in Vancouver. Have you ever approached the VAG or any of the other galleries out here about an exhibition?
Have a great day.
Your work is stunning and my comment feels like a drop in the ocean. What beautiful work you have posted here.
Peace, Prosper and Live well!
Love your images of people! Very creative. 🙂
The dandelion speaks to me quite strongly.
Your artwork is beautiful!
I was a big fan of the Doors…love your Jim Morrison and all the others!
You are very talented! Your work is unique and your use of colors is amazing!
You are a talented artist. Keep up the good work.
Your Jim Morrison piece moves me beyond words. My son was a huge Morrison fan, he liked the music of The Doors but felt a special connection to Morrison.
Ken, was an artist and was studying animation at the time of his death. He loved the spray medium, and the inside of our double garage was covered with his work. When we sold the house, before his death, we offered to paint over his art work, but the new owners loved it. 🙂
I live in Australia and love that the internet allows me to ‘travel the world’.
You’re a gifted man and I look forward to following your artistic journey.
Your work is stunning. I love it!
Excellent work!
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
There is such a sadness
Such a depth that it seems to consume his light
But he keeps starts again over and over
What choice does he have?
These are very nice. Keep doing what you do…however you do it.
You have quite an array of images. I do like those using monotone color beyond the basic black and white. Variety is always nice.
keep up the work.
Your work in absolutely amazing!!! What medium do you use? Is that all spray paint? Although I noticed a bit of collage work with newspaper in some of the color paintings. Do you spray paint it then paint black over it? Also, I love your portraits! I’ve been practicing drawing portraits and people in general for a few years and I admire how realistic yours are!
on the black and white I paint a blank canvas black first then use white spray paint to create what you see. With the collage work my wife does the collage and then I use black spray paint to create what I desire. Hope this helps
Ok thanks!
No problem. Great art blog by the way. I like the layout!
Amazing work 🙂
I like the work in black and white. Especially the stools. Reminds me of Ansel Adams.
Very creative and interesting. My fav is the butterfly on the sax with just a hint of color. Keep creating!!!!
Some lovely work here. I did a spray paint on canvas for a friend some time back – the first time I had used this medium and loved the result. Your work shows me what is possible!!
Bold Fresh Emotionally-Moving. I want to feel Art, not just Look. Love your work.
Wow. I really enjoyed seeing your work. Outstanding! I hope to see it in person one day.
Incredible creations!
marvelous creations!
Go you! I love these.
I just discovered you, you’ve done a beautiful work 🙂 I love the Johnny Cash one! Keep on blogging, cheers
Very amazing work! You have a unique gift with faces and objects. I like the typewriter.
Your work is AMAZING!
Unbelievable work, just stunning!
Beautiful work!
Beautiful work!
You’re incredible!
Bravo! I love your work. Two girls….love love it….it’s all fantastic. Keep following your dream and passions never let that go. Peace.
As they say, “When you got it, you gt it.” You got it!
Totally unique! Beautiful!
great job.
Wow, I am a huge critic and I love your art work! I would love for you to do some for me, but money is tight. I completely agree with simplicity and love the natural beauty you capture.
Your talent is humbling!
Thank you.
These are amazing! You are very talented.
Beautiful work! Thanks to you I also discovered see.me. You have a very nice gallery and profile there.
Your work is absolutely beautiful. You do an amazing job of blending grit and grace. I look forward to seeing more!
Everything everyone wrote above, then some. Your talent is beyond words. I love them all… the diner stools are great. I have two in my own kitchen.
These are all beautiful… I can’t pick a favorite.
Beautiful, well thought out pieces and wonderfully rendered.
You have a distinctive style. I like it. Man is my favourite, for what it’s worth. Seems full of hope somehow.
Work of excellence!
Love the art!
Unique – wonderful gift ~ gorgeous art!
It helped me find some motivational inspiration created by your lovely fingers. Im glad i found this talent. ITs beautiful, and as a fellow artist i need it:)
I wish i also have your talent 😦
Love your work.
You really are gifted. Keep it up
Very nice style, great images
These are brilliant! You have pure talent and I hope you’ll always be creating.
Hi Ray, I like your art. I haven’t seen anything like it. I can see all your pictures all have a story to tell.
These are beautifully done. I love how the Lady looks. I never realized how much emotion is conveyed in the statue’s face. She looks rather stern, like her next words will be, “Watch it!”
You are incredibly talented. I can’t even fathom being able to do something like this on my own. I love the themes you paint – musically-related, stunning silhouettes, facial expressions…
You’ve captured nostalgia for all things I love on canvas and elsewhere and I think you should know that when I see work by others that does just that – I get inspired.
Great job, man. 🙂
Really nice work, love it!
what you do is incredible.
Your work is incredible!
Love the one with the boys smoking.
really cool, love it !
These are so incredibly gorgeous Sahm! Impressed~
I truly enjoy everything on your blog..
Love the trombone…the muscle.
Wow this stuff looks great. I should try doing some of this one day. I love the kind-of noir look.
Absolutely LOVE tea party…it puts such a different feel on an iconic image from my childhood.
Hi, you have some splendid pieces here. My favourite is the image with the two girls, one in the foreground whose eyes have a slight smile yet a little sadness, the other behind her- her eyes are watchfu, she seems protective of the first. When you can depict emotions through your subjects you know you have a good thing going… #splendid work
Thank you!!
You’re welcome. I was looking at it in an enlarged view… there is no smiling and the girl in the background actually looks a little distrustful; it makes me sad. I love to see kids smiling, playing. I hope you continue to do what you are doing; you seem to have a natural love for it. Continue to be inspired by the good and the bad in life. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you can see all of this in the work I do. I want people to see things in my work. It means so much to me as I travel all over exhibiting.
All the best to you. Maybe one day I’ll contact you for that piece 🙂
That piece was a custom piece for someone in NY. It was a commission piece. I have some pieces available now on Etsy but almost everything I have is sold or in galleries. I also have tshirts on Etsy and this month I am selling them and whoi ever buys one is entered in a drawing to win a free painting by my valued at $500+
Not sure if interested but here is my store link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanWallArt
Ok, no problem, I’m glad I got to see it and thanks for the link.
Have a great weekend!
The same to you
I love “Youth”! 🙂 Best wishes with the competition and sales.
This is beautiful, truly, it is. The spray gives each piece such a different feeling to a painting due to the slight blur of the lines. Amazing, keep up the good work!
Your work never ceases to impress. Just great! Jean-Jacques Fournier
I would like a very like button 🙂
I really like your use of medium, it has a lot of impact, and says a lot about your vision. I also appreciate your manifesto about the quality of the work being the most important – too many times has art theory been used to try to attach meaning to a splotch on a canvas.
Really fantastic stuff!
[…] My 12 Super sweet nominations: -This guy’s art is amazing! https://urbanwallart.wordpress.com/portfolio-images/ […]

Wow! So glad you are sharing your talent. 🙂 Keep up the great work! Karen
These images are very special and unique – I like them very much.
There was a time in highschool I was an aspiring artist, and I still appreciate good art, and you my follow are an artist! But my memories of urban life are not good ones, nor of highschool. I am a country boy at heart. and returned to MT my heart’s home
I just can’t get over how amazing all this is!
Keep up the Great work that you have posted on your site.
Pretty amazing! I love pencil drawings and black and white photos… But this takes art to a new level =)
Beautiful. Stunning use of positive and negative to contrast. Images are haunting. I enjoy your work.
WOW,…that’s the first word that came to mind.
The word that first comes to mind when i see your art work is “WOW”

Fire escape stairs. Beautifully spooky and romantic, A great work
Great style, love the work
Nice paintings, perhaps we can collaborate on something sometime?
Wow! Your work is amazing!

Your work is haunting, beautiful and honest. You are very gifted. what inspires you?
Life, love, fear, & happiness.
I love your style! Could I use some of art work in some of my projects?
YOU ARE GOOD, I REALLY LIKE ALL OF THAT!!
Talent beyond description. When I see this depth, range of talent I am powerfully reminded that man cannot be just biology, an accident. There’s something more, something reflective of a vastness here, something massive, relevant…
I love your artwork, Jim
Simply easy to be an ongoing fan of your work. JJ
Wow..this is so lyk cool, creative…thumbs up men.
Thanks for these amazing photos.
I’m blogging about Apple’s iOS devices and I must say:
This definitely cannot be done with an iPad or iPhone camera.
These are paintings 😉
I know but some Apple nerds say that everything can be done with an Apple device.
Sharing your website to my friends I will give them a difficult task.
If somebody thinks his trial can compete with your art I will forward it to you for assessing.
Thanks
awesome work!
Amazing photos.
This is a GREAT Portfolio you have got. Simply Awesome 🙂
These images are really great. I enjoyed your site.
take my picture. I think I might look good this way…and that is saying a lot since I look like a chimp in pictures. Nice work!
Wow! Impressive work.
thank you for adding to the beauty of the world!
We love the mixture of impressions/feelings your work leaves. It’s steeped in reality, yet it’s dreamy (for us anyway). We popped around your blog months ago and it’s soooooooooooooooooooo great to see how much more expansion there is on it and of your work.
Excellent work!
Awesome paintings. I’m glad I stopped by.
I love your work. I look forward to updates.
hey … I don’t do FB much but i have had to tweet some of your stuff & contact info – love a good black/white
Wow, you’re really good!,,,
Wonderful art. Especially the “Baltimore Man” piece.
These are beautiful!!!
You are an incredible talent and I am looking forward to every single image you share. Thank you. xoJulia
Emotions On Canvasa indeed!
Your work is amazing! I need one for my home in CO. I will definitely take a look at your Etsy shop.
You know, surveying your style I am very curious how you would bring a guitarist’s face to life.
Really i’m thinking about Steve Vai and his various panorama of faces. Joe Satriani too, but his facial features are much more reserved. Maybe I just say this because i’m a guitarist too, though.
Always luvd your work:)
Wishing you positivity
Thanks for creating this blog because knowing an artist from close is not always possible…
beautiful works
Wonderful…!
Great artworks! Saw lots of this kindof stuff in Buenos Aires Argentina but there is not a lot around in Australia where I live, ever been to OZ? Would love to photo document your adventures if you are ever around Sydney ;D
Yeah… Just impressive and inspiring artworks!
Magnificent! Hope you continue doing this kind of art work.
What can I say that has not already been said? Stunning! Such talent! Wow!
Let me put it this way, this Southernbelle is ‘speechless’. And that is quite an achievement!
wow. Wow. WOW! OMG! Awesome.
I love your work!
Love you blog !!!!
really amazing…
Wow! You are really talented. Again, wow!
Your images look fascinating.
I love your style – beautiful and engaging
You’re very talented
I’ll be in Toronto next month. Where can I see your amazing works in real life?
In Mississauga at the &Co resto. I did three large murals for them. Just outside of Toronto.
Art I understand. And really, truly love. Thank you.
Love your art – I would like to see some of this on my walls.
best wishes with continued inspiration in your own artwork and Journey!
Some pretty cool artwork here! Got anything of the Buddha?
These are stunning. I’m from Houston, and live near an active railroad track. I wish I could see stuff like this on my way to work every day instead of the gang tags.
Amazing!! Very inspiring!
Excellent work, as usual! Keep it up. You will be famous one day!
Amazing work. Absolutely stunning. Keep it up.
I’m always envious of talented people. The best I can do is a few muddy paw prints here and there; your stuff is good. I hope it sells well for you.
Your work is Fantastic!!!!!!
Hi, what wonderful work, so amazing and it brings so many emotions to me.
Very unique and fabulous work! Love it!
I enjoyed watching your process video. Good luck with your art exhibition in San Diego. 🙂
Different and unique pieces beautiful.
Great work! And thanks for sharing your passion!
your work is simply amazing
What interesting images!
Your style just blows me away 🙂
Your work is thoughtful, attractive and captures the spirit of your subject matter. I really look forward to seeing much more of it! Ken Haberman
your art is awesome:)
Your art is amazing!
Ray, the blend of image and medium is just fantastic. Love your art! Love it!
Love your site, and the introduction to your work…
Amazing artwork!
Awesome…my only issue is deciding on which pic of my granddaughter I want done
people have said it all but am falling in love with your work already. keep it up
These are really beautiful.
This great work, very impressive. I think I would like to use one of your images in the future for a book cover. I will keep you mind.
Let me know.
Simply beautiful work!
Pretty incredible… The end.
Impressive work.
Very nice pieces
Your statement “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.” reminds me of a quote I have heard but no longer remember who said it; it goes something like this, Perfection is not when you can nothing else it is when you can remove nothing else. Your work is defiantly moving towards that ideal of perfection.
amazing work ! ❤
Very beautiful work! B/W are my favorite!
Very beautiful work.
Ray, really interesting work. Glad I found it. Best of luck and continued success. Craig
GREAT photos …
your images are fantastic … keep up the good work
Oh my this is incredible, keep up the great work!
Your work is great and visually engaging!
Congratulations! Nice images.
Great work. Some of these look like photos. Amazing that you only use spray paint & stencils. I like your take on art, also: it’s gotta be visually appealing! Forget fingerpaint splotches that “represent man’s deeper search for self actualization” or some such thing.
This man’s art is something to behold. Though his technique appears constant, each piece flies in opposed directions, giving them a unique personality that pleasingly demands your attention. What a gift to know his work. JJF
Great stuff! Anything on the West Coast?
San Diego on May 3rd. Email me at reinaldoferrer@gmail.com
Beautiful Art! Yvonne
WOW….VERY NICE WORK…
Love looking at your work!
[…] Portfolio / Images. […]
love the piece entitled ‘Man’ – caught my attention and made me think..
Your work is so unique, so creative.
Your work is so compelling. It triggers an instant recognition of the human spirit. The threads of complexity, simplicity, friendship, loss, celebration, beauty, confusion are woven together in profound images. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Awesome.
I wish there was a “love” button for your amazing work!
Very dramatic and exciting work.
Wow…how cool is this! Your work is fabulous. Very inspirational. I love the tones.
Fantastic!!!
Love your work with light and space. Veeeery niiice! 🙂
Still liking your work. Oi loik oit aloit!
Enjoyed reading! Cheers!!
I like especially your first drawing of the girl, the buildings and the bridge and that one of the tea party at the end. Good work!
I like especially the first drawing, the ones of buildings and the bridge and the tea party at the end. Good work!
Very nice. Art is supposed to move you, touch you, have an impact… yours does!
It’s always a pleasure to visit this site and see how you capture moments with your art and make them both aesthetic and interesting.
Your work is beautiful! Moving. You capture so much life with such a limited palette. It truly is amazing!
you obviously have artistic talent
Cheers!

Beautiful images. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Beautiful art! Great work.
I know I am simply echoing what so many others have said, but I will still add my own…”Beautiful”…to the mix.
wow, stunning art! just love how so much is conveyed!
I love your beautiful works of art. “Youth” is one of my favorites. Reminded me of those bygone wonderful and carefree days of my youth.
I wish you All the Best.

Love your art!!!
Outstanding and Impressive!!!!
It is awesome
Your stuff is amazing.
I love the lady in the window, it really resonated! beautiful work
An amazing collection of Urban Wall Art. It’s a shame though that sometimes when you do see other amazing pieces of art on the streets that they are mostly graffiti ‘tagged’ over. But anyway great work!
Its like 60’s classic art revived in our time 🙂
Brilliant work bud, I’ve shared it on my Facebook for what it is worth, though I think my friends won’t be able to afford to fly you in for these amazing skills you possess
great works
And a big WOW to your work. You are amazing. My son is an artist. I have a special place in my heart for artists!
Awesome art! You are very talented.
Wow!!!
Nice! You’ve got a lot of patience, my friend!
Visually powerful work, Ray. At first, I thought you were over processing photos, but then I read how you create your murals.
Your work is incredible.
Compelling work! Not only do they offer pleasure for the eye, but food for thought and provocation of emotion.
Greetings! I write to nominate you for a Versatile Blogger Award.
I love your NYC pictures!!!
Really enjoyed your site.. Followed 🙂
Um sorry for being ignorant but are these photographs or have you painted them???!!!
Whatever they are, they are GREAT!!! WONDERFUL!! AMAZING!!! 😀
especially love the statue of liberty.!!!
Interesting, creative form of art … Of the pieces displayed here … my favorites are the young girl and the fire escape, I think …. they are all so good, it is hard to choose.
I love all the new additions. You really do great work. I’d love to use another of your picture for my Picture Phiction group again soon. If you’d like to lend me another picture. let me know.
RR
great site
One word. Awesome.
I remember tea parties. It was all gonna be so simple 😛 Jack Again…Diner Stools…Lady. Those are some I connected with. Intriguing. I’ll drop by again.
Amazing! So atmospheric….
Amazing Work!! WOW!
Without a doubt your creativity and the power of your work is truly impressive. To say I really enjoyed viewing what you created, does not do you sufficient justice. However I do applaud What I have seen, and I say Bravo! JJF
Absolutely amazing artwork! Very unique. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.
Beautiful work, Reinaldo!
You do beautiful work and are a very talented, creative artist. The bridge is my favorite, but I like almost everyone the images.
OOOOh I love the woman in the Bhurka.
great pics
great looking work…loved it
You have some beautiful work here!
Wonderful work. I am always amazed by artists such as you who see such emotion and color in the world and are able to express it in such a powerful way. Thank you for bringing such beauty to the universe.
Hej from Sweden !
These are wonderful paintings; you are great, man. Hope one day you can come and do your stuff here in Tanzania.
Wow these are really amazing! You are able to capture the emotion of each subject so accurately! Very impressive…And I am not easily impressed…haha.

Love your work, talent I can only dream about!
You are very talented!
good stuff–old school–not enough of that these days.
You work in awe inspiring. I will definitely be keeping an eye on what you do.
[…] Urban Wall Art […]
Wow, this is some amazing work! I love the detail and the realism.
I wanted to tell you how very interesting your style is, photographic B&W but almost a negative (photographic) edge things have to them because you get such a sense of open spaceeven though there is much going on. I am a a big fan of B&W. I even watch any color film at least once with the color off. It is the only true reality. Color photo does little for me, not that I don’t appreciate it. Well, thanks. Be well. >KB
You have a very detailed and extensive portfolio of artwork. I definitely see that each one takes all your time and care to create and I respect the quality, as well as your work ethics.
Great stuff man. Would love to highlight some of your work as the image for my blog posts.
very energetic and interesting work…
I am truly excited for your opportunity to have your art on NY billboards. That is WONDERFUL!! Good luck and best wishes with your work.
I LOVE your images – absolutely stunning, and so evocative. I have not read anything yet, just got totally drawn in by your art – will have a closer look later!
Wow! great work.
These are amazing! You’re very talented 🙂
Your work is awesome!
Really beautiful work. Very stunning.
I used to do stencil bleach-art on t-shirts with this same shadow concept. Love it.
Your work reminds us that artists need to continue pushing the borders to keep our vision fresh!
you really have a gift!!!!
your work is very alive, thanks for sharing
You are quite the artist! Where is your work? I especially like the Canon photographer and woman smoking. Keep your passion on fire! You have a gift!
-Ashley

Breathtaking images, glad I stumbled upon your work!
Awesome Art! 🙂

TERRIFIC!!!!! I am so enthralled……Loved them.
Hi there,
I’ve nominated your blog for the Reality Blog Award. I love your work, so inspirational.
I showed my son your art work . He loved to spray paint on walls. I think they call it tagging. He loved your work and I told him to get busy and create. We’ll see!
Wonderful work
I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your gift!
I really love your work. I’m an architect and I appreciate art. Who doesnt anyway? But your portfolio is impressive. I’ll surely want a piece from you soon.
Awesome images Sir! What a gift you have.
Absolutely beautiful work, Ray! I’m going to subscribe to your blog. Look forward to seeing more of your creation!
Wow, this is really unique! i love the style!

Fantastic gift!!! My absolute fav is “two girls” love it!
Stunning images ! You do beautiful work.
You have incredible artwork here!
Your images are like frozen moments in time. Very nice.
I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at your breathtaking artwork. My favourites are “young girl”, “two girls”, “innocence”, and “tea party”. Look forward to seeing more of your beautiful paintings.
So far, I love your work! Keep doing what you’re doing.
No superlative is good enough for this majestic splendour.
You have some great work here.
OMG – love your work – iridescent!
Your artwork is absolutely amazing… I can’t wait to see more of it! Following your posts 🙂
Wow!
I think I’ll pass this one along to Kin; he enjoys a good stencil-work.
Excellent works. There’s something very satisfying about spray paint paintings as a genre. Maybe I’m inexperienced, but the level of detail you’re able to capture–and of course your subject matter and framing–is amazing.
Amazing work!
Amazing artwork!
Most excellent!
I was asked to pick my favorite, but honestly, they are all magnificent. This amazing works of art blew my mind, utterly and completely spectacular. OMG, gorgeous and breath taking.
Your art is stunning – keep up the good work!
Great art matey.
Extraordinary, striking images, Ray. Particularly liked ‘Young Girl’, ‘Jazz’, ‘Fire Escape’, ‘Diner Stools’.
Powerful blog you have here.
Truly original and evocative work, something hard to achieve in our times.
outstanding !!
Beautiful work here! Some of the images are really evocative 🙂
These are rather stunning–the first image of the girl especially. It’d be nice to see an embedded slideshow. The presentation would do your bold work even greater justice. I am focusing in the next month on bring deviantART portfolio over to my site, or at least the work of it. I need to showcase that in various formats for people to see.
You’re inspiring!
Wow…I’d love one of these of a bull for my (future) office wall!
Hey! -interesting work! I liked the Fire Escape the most! 😀 I’d like to interview you for the Project Motley blog- would you be interested? I can email you some details if you like..?

Your work is amazingly different.
The cigarette and smoke ..and the chrome stools brought a flood of lovely memories..
Love these images!
Would love a T-Shirt tof the NYC Cyclone Ride?
Would live to start making shirts. It’s coming in the near future.

Beautifully haunting images. Thanks!
Your work looks amazing. I always find it incredible how gifted artists can be – I’m hopeless.

I hearted “Young Girl” on the See Me sight but I also like “Two Girls” and “Tea Party”– I have daughters, so go figure, lol.

Hapapy New Year!i have been trying to visit your site for a while… takes forever to load … we are all trying to login at once !
You are very talented.
WOW! I love these! Especially the Lady Liberty one. I will be back to follow your beautiful art work.
Beautiful pieces! Great work!
Props on your art! It’s super cool! How do you do it? Is it just stencils?
Wow, these are awesome. You have quite a talent. I especially like the faces & the two men looking out toward the bridge.
I can’t help hearing plants, animals, and objects “talk.” Your artwork is like no other ANYWHERE. You have developed a signature style that is immediately arresting!
Love your work, do you do t-shirt prints?
I have started to of a few styles. They are not on here though.
Ray, your work is just amazing!
Wow! Fascinating work.
Your work is fantastic! I agree with Swatchwork, Beautiful! Mind Boggling
Your art is fantastic!
Wow, your art work is beautiful and unique.
You have some beautiful art here, especially the stencils! I try to make some myself, but mine are nowhere near as nice as yours. 🙂
beautiful pieces!
Incredible talent! Keep it up!
[…] The glare of a sudden spotlight tries, To flatten her features yet, The overwhelming truth of her dark, Innocent eyes cannot be blinded, And shines, unblinking, defiant. Something in that shadow, Between lid and brow holds, Your fascinated gaze and pulls, Reflecting back darkest secrets forgiven. Does she smile? She does if you do. “Go” she seems to say, “All is well”. But I stay yet, Bathing in her level stare until, Reluctantly turning, always knowing, She is there. This post is inspired by the image by Ray Ferrer and I am very grateful for his permission to use it. Please go and check out his work at https://urbanwallart.wordpress.com/portfolio-images/ […]
I love your work. I’m a writer and artist and truly appreciate awesome artwork.

I particularly like your stairwell piece x
Nice work!
These are beautiful !
These are incredible pieces of art i’m so thankful to have a chance to see them
All are beautiful 😀
Beautiful images. A powerful story could be written behind each one. Takes me to the middle of the history book I used to teach out of. Some powerful lessons could be taught!
Your art´s amazing!! I´m so following your blog!! 🙂
Your work is amazing. Perhaps one day I will have to contact you for an assignment! Enjoy your weekend! -Caroline

I love your work! Beautiful!
Beautiful work. So introspective and soulful
Really beautiful work! I am so impressed, I have never seen anything like it. Looks like spray painted urban grafitti or photography with heary treatment. Amazing work, you have definitely carved a niche for yourself (no pun intended).
Hi Ray, I went in to look at your site and my heart stood still for a second. I am an avid art fan – and collector, so I’ll be watching and following you. Perhaps I can share a link to your site at some point down the road! Love, Love, Love what you are doing.
Sandy

Beautiful works of art.
wonderful pieces of art…love ’em.
very cool and different 🙂
Interesting pictures. Do you always work in black and white?
Very cool work my friend!
Really like your work, especially that very first image. Haunting
Oh wow, this is awesome … and so sexy too! 😉
Love your work.
– Craig
Really like your stuff!
Hey Ray, how often are you in Chicago? I’d love to see them in person. Are the ones above for sale? There are a handful I’d love to purchase, depending on price of course!
You have a beautiful and unique art brand. That is something that I am trying to achieve in my textile collage adventure.
I love how your images capture light. They’re so … stylistic, urban, noir, 40s. The black and white of Jack White is definitely my favourite – genius!
absolutely beautiful work. In love with this 🙂
Love it! Have you ever done a street preacher?
Not yet. Sounds like a great idea though.
I especially love the first little girl one–she reminds me of my granddaughter!
Great stuff!!
Congrats on some very cool work!
I’ve checked your work out before and it is stunning! I especially love the New York stuff.
I love the play between light and dark, your treatment of negative spaces is interesting and provides depth. Very cool. 🙂
Very nice images–I love the diner stools and the fire escape. I will be back again-Happy New Year!
I really enjoy your blog. Some great work. I have shared it on my page. Happy New Year 🎈🎈🎈🎈

Some of your images are astounding: places and people evoked with real edge! Phil.

Wow! I love these! I’ve always loved b&w images to begin with, but you do something with the light that’s different.
Phenomenal and unique! Please continue to post photos!!
Nifty; I’d like to see the effect in person.
lovely ART!! I really like the lady eyes.
Of the work I just previewed on your blog, I like the fire escape the best… very complex, and great use of shadow.
Wow, how do you make these pictures? They are very interesting. I like them.

Nice effects. I like it.
Super cool work!
I really enjoyed perusing your portfolio. . .your artwork is the kind/type/style I like — edgy, dramatic and real. It’s the kind of work that tells a story, although not always one that is apparent at first inspection. Please let me know of any shows you may be doing in the Philadelphia area. . .I’d really like to see your work in person.
I love the GW Bridge piece – is your work for sale at all?
Would love to check it out in person and/or support you at a gallery show!
I enjoyed checking out your work. Your pieces are refreshingly honest!
Great technique. Love them.
This is incredible…. really mind blowing talent…
I kinda got over scrolling down down down, just to leave a comment, but wow! Amazing work. I’m in love with the Jack White ones! I love the red background.
Amazing art!!!! I would love some of this for my walls!
thank you for sharing some of your work on this blog. “Young Girl” is terrific, and I like how you captured light in “Man.”
Some really stunning images must keep an eye on you!
Wow! Your craft is amazing
Very talented! Happy Holidays! And I hope you have a happy, healthy and successful 2013. 🙂
You are such a talented and amazing artist. I really admire you. Keep Creating!!!
Beautiful, creative, original work!
WOW! So much skills! 😀 Especially in just black and wight!
Very artistic work.
You have absolutely phenomenal talent. This is the first time I’ve seen your site, but I’m off to take a look. It’s amazing to see the art you’ve created!
Wow. Love your work.
I voted as prompted and your work is terrific! Happy Holidays Cheers,
dj
Absolutely amazing!!! You will be a well-known very soon!!!
Wow, what a gift. I admire your work.
[…] Portfolio / Images. […]
I have to say my favorite is the bar stools… or are they diner stools… they do make me think of a diner
G’day Ray,
you are very gifted. Good on you for using your gift and leaving a legacy. Keep up the great work.
I think you should do and post a YouTube video. I think this is awesome.
I must say I like your work. I wish you were in the UK as I have some projects I am involved in that could use someone like you!
Your work is amazing..more than “real”images ,they capture the point of the subject.They add the feeling that so many times artists miss..thanks
Wow! You’ve got a very unique style. Creating stencils must require a lot of work… Bravo!
Love your work, the girl and the man at the very top are beautiful
Great work! I was going to say that I fancied myself somewhat of a photographer until I saw your work. Then I read that this is stencil and spray paint art. Very impressed! Keep it up. I look forward to seeing more!
Admire and am jealous of your obvious talent! Look forward to keeping up!
Wonderful, exciting and beautiful work!
Hey mate, love your artwork
your images are incredible & I look forward to following your beautiful work! happy holidays!
very awesome!
Hi there
I was going to ‘like’ this post, then decided that I more than liked it …. your images are great, really quite moving.
Best Dave
you clearly have the creativity thing down!
Love these! Are you digital or do you play with different exposures & developer chemicals to get that look?
I free hand cut stencils with an x-Acto knife and then all I use is spraypaint. These are not photos these are spray paint on canvas.
Wow very cool. Are you on etsy? If not you really should be I suspect you’d do great there.
Really admire your technique. The simplest are the most amazing. You do show off your skill. Fantastic, you must be walking round town to get inspiration. Thanks very much, your art reflects the pulse of inner city life in a western country.
Amazing works,keep it up!
very atmospheric
super cool work. Love the emotion they convey.
Creative and soul- reaching work! I go to NYC often and I see/hear/feel it in your art!
Lovely images!
Very cool art! I so admire visual artists. Love the NYC skyline (nice to see the twin towers) and the bridges. Thank you for sharing your vision and your visuals…
Some of these I hadn’t yet seen before.
Emotive work as always.
Your artwork is beautiful. I truly wish I could afford to own a piece. The best that I can do is share your facebook posts and help some lucky person own your work instead.
Very Nice work 🙂
Hi,
I love stencils:). It was Banksy (before he was that famous) who introduced me into it years ago in East London. It was really cool to follow open air street art exhibition every day when I walked to work.
Hi
I love your work. It is amazing. The stencil work is great. It wasn’t my favorite at first, I’m an old fashioned oil paint on canvas type. but your work has changed my mind completely around and I love it.
These are classic, great insight into urban culture. Keep on pushing.
Blessings Now!
beautiful stuff that you are making here!
You did all of these? And by spray painting? Pretty awesome! When I can afford it, I want to take pictures of all three of my girls and have someone put together a portrait as though they were all three originally in a photo together. I had kept saying I was going to get new family pictures taken before my Rae passed away this past summer; but something always got in the way. 😦 Once my husband starts working again, I might have to contact you about something like that. You’re very talented.
thank you ray for giving me the opportunity to discover this site…
i wish that i have just a little of this great talent..
i’m looking forward to explore more…
good luck to you…
Amazing stuff! Love your work! I love looking at art where I feel there’s a story behind it!
Good luck in all you do! Great talent!
I just “supported” you. I hope you win!
Thank you tremendously!!
damn I love street art!
Damn! Fine!
Very cool, Keep it up!
lovely artwork!
Very very nice web site and marvelous photos. I definitely will be a daily visitor. Take care.
Simply stunning. Amazing what you can do with spray paint!
Your work is unreal. Do you do shows in NYC at all? Look forward to seeing more. You rock.
Trying to get in some places in NYC now. I live in the area. Most exhibitions I have scheduled are in Chicago, California and international.
These are pencil? Wonderful. At first, I thought they were photographs.
These are actually spray paint.
Incredible! Is the third to last one Robert Smith?
I get that a lot ;). It was actually a custom piece I did for a record label in Nashville of jack White from the White Stripes.
He’s cool, too!
Really good effect and love the black and white, always timeless.
Nice site!
Impressive work! Love it!
This is so cool! I love your wall art! It makes the streets more exciting 🙂
very,very cool!
You have an interesting site here.
Your work is incredible!
I love them all.
Wow! Really love your work!
Love the softness mixed with the graffiti style!
These pieces are simply breath-taking.

Your work is breathtaking. I repinned your pieces on Pintress. If you would like to view other pages of my scrapbook, I have them archived by month.
Your work is amazing!
these are fantastic!!!
Great site. Amazing work. Makes me wish I had a wall big enough for a mural.
Thank you. I also do canvas of any size.
good collection. nice site
Love the contrast and the clarity within the images as well as some of the retro twists you play with in others.
Really unique and totally awesome.
This is one kind of art I would love to have on my buildings on the farm. I like it.
Where are you located?
Love images in black and white and shades of gray. Very powerful stuff.
I’m enjoying real art,it’s awesome!
Your work is very interesting. Wishing you all the best.
Lovely work Ray. You bring an insightful sensitivity to the grittiness of urban art.
Cool paintings.
Your images are powerful.
I enjoyed visiting your blog and find your work to be very unique and special.
New York and Paris are my two favorite cities. You’ve captured their essence.
Peace.
Very, VERY cool !! Love the heavy nostalgia emanating from each piece. It screams of NY and the things I love and miss about it. I wish you great success. You certainly deserve it.
Wow, I love your eye!

Amazing work you got here mate!
It’s nice to see real art from where I’m sitting…… thank God for the internet but mostly people who use it for things like this
Very nice!
Love your artwork!!
Your work is amazing.
Ray! Your wall art is so super badass I can’t believe they are simply stencils and spray paint. You are somehow able to animate the images with such light and life.
I like your work
Great captures. They are brimming full of human emotion that cover a wide spectrum of thought.
Enjoyed these so much. Impressive! You are very talented.
Beautiful work!
Wow! These are some amazing images. You even make what I consider boring subjects look interesting. You have a talent in your eyes and hands!
These are great! Man you are prolific. You must get through a lot of blades.
THese are great – some amazing images here. You have inspired me to look outside my own square!
Stunning! Particularly liked Tea Party and Two Girls
Your works are beautiful! i was touched
Soon as I’m stateside again, I look forward to purchasing.
Really cool. Some of them are so warm and gritty they remind of Once Upon a Time in America.
Amazing! Your work is inspiring.
Nice images, and very ‘now’.
Pete, (England).
Your work is awesome! The expressions on some of the portrait’s faces send shivers down my spine, and the images are vivid and alive. Really really cool, made my morning, thanks. And I live in berlin where there is plenty of good wall art around:-) You should come do some here!
Great talent! I’m a big fan of NYC and lived in New Jersey for a few years. Love the fire escape and the Cyclone rollercoaster.
Amazing pictures!! I loved the NYC ones. Those are absolutely beautiful and capture the atmosphere though I haven’t been to NYC yet but I feel it.
you have real good picture here… good work…..
Really terrific work!
You have a lot of talent my friend. thank you for sharing bradley
love all of your work, it is inspiring and so beautiful
I find your art work extremely inspiring and look forward to seeing more when you have the time and inclination to post more.
Your art is awesome!
Wow! Love your artwork.
AS BLACK FLAG SANG: SPRAY PAINT THE WALLS!!!!
This is impressive
Your work is incredible!
Talented! Keep shining…
The smoky one is soooooo amazing.
I am amazed at the detail you get with your pieces…are you cutting your own stencils for this work?
Yes. All free hand cut with an X-Acto knife.
Ray, Great work here. Love your artistry.
Very nice. You have talent buddy…
Love your work. Wondering if you’d like me to highlight some of your work on my blog to inspire writers. I would of course credit you for the image and direct people to your website. Let me know.
Your work is amazing!
Some very nice work mate, very nice.
Wow! I am really amazed by all this art work espcially all the detail, it is so beautiful! Wow!
The ‘Smoking Lady’ and ‘Fire Escape’ are absolutely beautiful. I would love to see those on an alley wall in my downtown.
Beautiful work!
Lots of excellent pieces.
Wow!! Wonderful work! My favorites are the “Lady eyes”,”Young girl” and “Jack White”. I love paintings on which you can see the eyes `cause they really express feelings.
My daughter will like your stuff – I will show her.
Amazing images! Thanks!
I really appreciate what you do! Very well executed & beautiful images…I especially like the way you have done faces. We recently were in Berlin, & saw some awesome wall murals & street art. Your work would look fantastic there!
Very cool artwork!
Awesome. You’ve nailed every one of these shots matching the processing with the mood you wanted to elicit.
I’ll say it again. Wow.
Absolutely stunning work! The sense of space and emotion is staggering. Cheers!
your work is absolutely gorgeous! I love the shades and layers, and the semblance of light and shadow. I’ll be visiting!
Actually, I do like every single work; but if I had to choose 2 for my home I choose the 2 little girls at the top and the chess-set for Jo, my husband. Wonderful work. I follow now.
hey, your work is awesome! I love the portraits of soul musicians and the little girl at the top of your selection. Want more! 😉
Your work is amazing, would you mind if I put up some of the images on my pinterest account (the images will link directly back to this site, and could garner some more business for you)?
Absolutely!!!
Done!
Fantastic work. So inspiring. I will be back to look around here some more, for sure.
Really like your work. We do very different kinds of things but can appreciate it all. Keep it up!
I love the eyes in your pieces, very intense.
What a great works you have! Amazing!
I love your work! So different from mine … and that is a good thing!!! I look at yours and think that I must shoot the same old thing! A favorite is one of the diner stools on the black and white floor.
Hey Ray, I love your work. Street Art can only be a good thing. Your images have power & beauty, not reliant upon irony or, Jah forbid, a punchline. Echoes of Hopper & Henri Lartigue, that’s some fine company.
I’ve pressed “follow”, look forward to seeing your stuff and good luck.
Your work is great. I love the boys in their smoke. And the architectural stuff.
Wow, some great images. Keep up the art!
Well done, Im partial towards the lovely lady smoking the cigg and as a fan of The White Stripes i have to say i dig the Jack White piece.
I used to spend my summers in chicago and just was flabbergasted by some of the murals and griffiti on the city scape. you know what im talking about.
I’m just a young writer and blogger and I had this idea, Im doing an article the beginning of american griffiti, might you be interested in letting me do a guest article? The favor would be returned as you saw fit.
epic work, seriously epic. gorgeously executed, evocative!
Great portfolio, so intricate and detailed. Nicely executed.
Wow! Very nice stuff! Keep the good goin on.
Very interesting indeed, love it!
These are beautiful.
Thank you!
Very clever, powerful work.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing these. Love your use of light and shadow. Thanks for sharing.
Banksy style! But your own. Very nice.
I nominated your blog for the “Seven things about me Award”.
Nice art.
Your artwork takes my breath away.

Lovely photos. Amazing. 🙂
great work
Very intriguing & talented works Ray
This work is so original. I love the blend of content and technique. Beautifully done!
I love your images and look — you have a great eye. Best! -Josh
This is so different and creative! You have such wonderful talent.
Your art is absolutely stunning. Keep it up!
Really incredible work.

This is exciting, soulful urban work.
Your very talented, and do interesting, unique pieces! They are wonderful!!
Great work. Interesting dynamic going on. Dramatic and entertaining.
Awesome…
Such a wonderful variety, this must continue!!!
Your work oozes with emotion! I love the dark, reminiscent content because it makes me think of the way things used to be. Also, I love the twin towers piece.
You have some powerful images there! My favourite has to be the Tea Party.
I cannot find one piece here that I don’t like!
Your work looks great on this blog, but in real life, they must be fan-tas-tic to see! Any places in the west coast of canada can I see your prints?
Nothing yet. I have pieces that are going to a Toronto restaurant though that are huge. Here is a link to a project I’m working on. I ship the rewards worldwide. Please have a look and let me know what you think http://t.co/9pjs7hsL
Your works are amazing and unusual (I mean that kindly) and different. Such a refreshing change.
You do very cool stuff!
you’ve got some great work – I really like the NYC ones and the one of Paris with the Eiffel Tower.
Beautiful! Mind Boggling
