Very talented…
Hey there, I’m finally putting one of your spray paints in my blog. This one! Its vibe matches the vibe of my story. Just wanted to let you know. You’ve been credited 🙂
I like this piece. If I had money I’d buy this one. ^^
[…] New Stencil Piece… Smoking Lady. […]
WOW
Remarkable piece …. loved it
Very nice
Awesome!
Your most popular piece? As an ex-smoker I find it strangely provocative and well done.
Beautiful pieces! I love the simplicity and the contrast of your work.
your lady is smokin’ hot. nice work.
That lady of yours–she’s smokin’ hot! Nice job.
I admire anyone who has the emotional fortitude to do artwork for a living. I draw when I get the chance (like when I’m riding on a bus or a train somewhere), but my creations are nothing like yours. It takes a certain level of inner peace to “see” something worth representing and then a certain level of patience to make it into artwork. I don’t think I have either of those things…but your artwork is fun to look at. It’s both calming and thought-provoking at the same time…
This is my favorite!
This is simply AMAZING! So striking…
Hey that’s pretty badass!
I like how you post the paintings and then provide links!
I subscribe.

This art is amazing. I just stopped by the blog to check it out, it’s what I do when someone likes a post of mine. This is just breathtaking work. Awesome Ray, this will take off!
Thank you so much. I also made limited edition, signed tshirts of this image at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanWallArt
Dang incredible. Re-blogging this now!
This looks a bit like the cover of Bridget Jone’s diary 🙂
Ah exquisite, indeed. Very classy feel, indubitably. Such a flavour of noir, so stark and lovely, lips alight against the brush glow of a cigarette, those milky plumes of smoke to match one’s coniving broodings in the night before…the ultimate crime. Ah ha, got the imagination flitting. Fabulous image, indeed. Well done!!
Wow!!! an amazing piece of art!!!
You have amazing focus, skill and talent. Beautiful piece!
Very cool stuff you do. Very original. Keep up the amazing creations!
I want this on my tee!!
I am offering any of my designs on tshirts if anyone is interested. I have them made on demand so if interested let me know.
Ray
Beautiful!
This is a bit of a magical piece to me.. This woman could be anyone, she is young, beautiful and a mystery that will be forever etched in your mind.
[…] the dead, is to put rum or bourbon in it.” ~~ Lewis Grizzard When I first came across Ray Ferrer’s Urban Wall Art Blog I was blown away. I wanted an original piece but didn’t know how his style would translate […]
You do marvelous work.
This piece is rather whimsical.
it certainly has been fun looking at your blog.
Interesting!
Wild and beautiful
I don’t understand how you create these pieces, but they’re beautiful!
Nice work !!
Great work!!
Finally had a chance to look through your whole gallery, and yow, spectacular. As you know, I’m a huge fan of stencil art, although most of what I see here in Tokyo is street art.
Although smoking isn’t ‘beautiful,’ this artwork is!
thats fire dawg!
This looks great Ray!
Amazing artwork, that’s a piece I would love to have.
Absolutely awesome! I’m gonna throw a mention on my blog
This is absolutely awesome!
Purely awesome work! : )
Outstanding work. I will return.
I thought smoking was considered a no no, not attractive, these days. Not by me, of course.
Smoke is always beautiful, super impressive!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!
I REALLY LOVE THIS. 🙂 Can I make it as my cover photo in FB? Thanks 🙂
Sure thing. Please link back to me somehow
Reblogged this on Avenues.

Really beautiful work.
Fantastic! WOW on your work… Bravo!
Great work!
An EXCELLENT stencil. Awesome! 700+ like this? What THE?! That’s awesome, you should e proud 🙂
Hey! Just bought it! Hubby’s birthday is this month… check out my new etsy page and let me know what you think! HomeBadgerCreations
Awesome! Will do!
Great piece! Looks like me, only in a LOT better lighting…
This is a great piece. If I hadn’t quit smoking two months ago I might like to have one (painting, not cigarette).
wow that is really great. i am like one of the most unartistic people ever, but you clearly have a gift. Thankx for sharing it with us!
I was blessed in attending the School of Art and Design in New York City as a youth. From my art experience these works certainly rate up there with the best of works in this catergory.
Wow!!!! I just love your work you are AMAZING!!!!! cheers Callie
Pure class!
Wow dude! You’ve got some awesome artwork here! I don’t see blogs like this too often…
You do some amazing stencil work.
Sexy and sultury, so cool and yet vey “hot” too! Some very good work here…
very cool work! like you said, simple and sophisticated. I’ll be back
Hi Ray,
I just nominated your blog for The Very Inspirational Blogger Award. Here is the link: http://sheslosingit.net/2012/06/29/ive-been-nominated/
This is badass! I’m going to check it out on etsy now!
I would like to lay old cigarette butts into this inky black awesomeness…
Great use of the black and white tones that help focus attention on what’s important and all unnecessary elements are removed. I especially like how the eyes are hidden yet the suggestion of them being there and closed, in my mind at least, works very well.
You are so talented…wow. This is stunning. Your work is equisite. I wanted to give your site some love but your site has simply blown me away. LOVE.
This is absolutely fantastic.
It’s very unique.
The smoke looks awesome. Nailed it.
Love it!
That’s really sexy – I love it.
Smokin’ !!
Love what you’re doing. Keep it up.
Stencils? Fantastic! Going to check out your Esty store front!
I love this piece.
beautiful — love your work
I LOVEEEEE THIS!
Very Greta Garbo
excellant, love it
Great artwork!
Great portfolio…
This is great!
Love it! so one of these days if I ever publish a book of poetry would be totally awesome for you to illustrate it! lol
Really like all your artwork.. Awesome! Been thinking how to work out better like you?.. 🙂
Very nice. You’re a gifted artist!
LOVE this! (It reminded me of the trippy Jesus’-face-in-the-snow thing. Wow, there’s an amazing energy to this work. Rock on.
LOVE this. Sick. You are very talented!
The quality of the light in your work is what sets it apart. The hand detail with the shadows is masterfully done. A great piece within your impressive portfolio!
beautiful face
Excellent, like it a lot.
Great Work Urban Arts!
I love this; it’s so elegant. The distinct curve of her lines fading into the hazy smoke… very nice.
What a talent!!!
This is an intriguing piece, makes me think of the old black and white, noir movies. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Dramatic.
your pieces are fantastic but I particularly like this one! Where are you based? Do you travel internationally to do these murals?
Thank you. Yes I travel all over the world. If someone wants me to paint I will go anywhere.
hey, that’s pretty neat! has a real film noir feel to it! not that i know much of anything about art…..
Interesting, evocative and unique!
very cool – I’d hang this in my living room in a heartbeat!
Oh wow, this is so cool! I like your blog. It inspires me. Peace.
sexy…
It’s retro and classy and almost abstract; the smoke forms two eyes and a bull nose to me, and the cigarette almost looks like a syringe…
This is really beautiful. I never saw anything like it.
Your new stencil piece is beautiful!
I love this pix. It invokes the feeling of another time and place I can ;peer into.
Impressive;
What to say? The balance, the noir, the effective use of white space… What I like best about this piece is that the eyes are in shadow. She could be any woman… She is EVERY woman, smoker or non. Very nice piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Sweet piece.
Wow, that’s really fantastic!
I devinitly love your work and will follow your posts :-)!!
Gazing at your stuff is interfering with my work!
love this 🙂
This artwork is so unique and fun. It takes a special mind to see backwards…
Lovely and sultry!
Love this!
Thanks for liking my post. You have some fantastic art pieces. I think they’re great and I will continue checking to see what you’ve created!
Cool stencils. And I like the idea of the urban art!
Wow beautiful stuff 🙂 Thank you.
nice work.
Abstract and beautiful!
Very cool piece!
For me, the work captures the image and spirit of the black and white, silent movie era’s artier directors…it stands out.
Wow, your work is incredibly inspiring. Straight NYC. This smoking lady is my favorite! Keep up the good work and best of luck to you with your vision. 😀
Stunning! I can’t use positive/negative space without it looking boring, but this is gorgeous!
Hello friend,
I saw your link on another blog that I follow and clicked my way to you. I have the same WordPress theme for my blog http://www.sobnyc.wordpress.com please visit my blog as I write urban stories. I grew up in New York City during the 70’s so I can relate to a lot of your work.
I also have a blog http://www.igotastorylikethat.wordpress.com where I write short flash fictional stories to artwork that people send to me. I would love to write about one of your pieces. I look forward to hearing from you.
Steve ……savahome@yahoo.com
love the way you use light and dark in your work.
Love your work, best of luck with it.
Love your art work, you have a very cool talent! 🙂
Love your work…
Beautiful work. Do you have any landscapes that you”ve done? I would consider requesting a personalized piece from you but all my photos are landscapes and nature. It might be an interesting juxtaposition, your work with a naturescape.
I really enjoyed this post. Have a nice day
Urban Wall Art – What I got was a appreciation for someone’s work I didn’t know (until beginning now). It’s good to hit the FOLLOW button. Signed – a new and appreciative fan. Dan
Keep making the rad pictures!
very intriguing – 70’s retro look
What a captivating thought
This smoking lady is such a nice job you did…
So hot! The smoke trails are incredible and her hand, I cant draw hands to save me life… I’m as massive fan of simplistic art. Stunning.
Everything I cut out with an X-Acto knife.
Then I am even more impressed. Amazing.
Let me know if ever you want me to make something for you.
I don’t like smoking but this is kinda sexy.
Looks beautiful! Keep up the great work!
I have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog award. 🙂 Best regards, – Mary Ann
Smoke (Circa 2001)
I lit one stick,
In the darkest of nights,
its acrid kisses bring out
hazy pictures of our distant memories.
In its trailing smoke, I reached for you,
in the darkness, I embraced your fairness.
In my mind, danced your songs,
as I breathed in its kisses.
Slowly, a sweet narcosis envelops me,
as my mind is filled with your every detail.
Forgetting all traces of a painful reality,
But behind all its sweetness, lurks the bitter truth;
You’re leagues away from my side.
My smoke slowly turns to ashes;
Along with it, our memories;
And all my desires, and wishes;
it burns away, towards the darkness.
I lit another stick…
This is really good! Thank you for sharing this and yes….. it goes well with the artwork.
You’re much welcome!
Hello Sir, that picture would truly compliment my poem, smoke.
http://kenmikaze.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/smoke/

It’s simple, but cool and dreamy. It give a feeling of something going on. I like it.
PJ
Thank you! I love this one too. Let me know if you ever want anything made for you!
They certainly knew how to make smoking *seem* romantic! I kinda miss the old days, when cigarette commercials were allowed on American television.
