Street Artist De La Vega

I remember when i was in middle school along 103rd and 5th avenue i would always see these chalk drawings on the sidewalk and they were very random but they always had a message of some kind and it was so weird at the time seeing these chalk drawings down 5th avenue. I thought to find the artist and rememberd his name is De La Vega which he signed along with this chalk drawings. I just thought it was cool and he has his own museum in Soho and has actually gotten in some legal trouble for drawing his messages all over NYC. but check it out!

"James De La Vega is an artist who lives in Soho and works in New York City, Paris, Italy, and Tokyo.

He is known primarily for his murals and the chalk drawings he creates on public surfaces such as sidewalks. His murals can be found all over East Harlem, and his chalk drawings may show up anywhere in the city. His street drawings, almost always chalk, are usually accompanied by aphoristic messages such as “Become Your Dream.” Legally, much of his work qualifies as graffiti, although many put them in a separate genre"
