Photo Blog: Art Basel & Wynwood 2014 Mash Up, Part Uno!

Art Basel Miami Beach 2014 was an incredible time again this year, of course I spent the majority of my time on the streets (and walls), of Wynwood.   The fairs were also stellar however, the majority of flicks were done in Wynwood as every cranny was stuffed with art.  Everywhere.  Doors, walls, alleys, major buildings, everything - it was very hard to leave.  This is a bit of what I saw on the first evening of arrival and going into day two... 
"Art Is Trash" working away, wasting no time.  Installations everywhere you look, you'll see more later....
Swoon and her army taking a break before finishing up
Mr. Miami, Atomik! This face is one of the main things I came to see, the awesome work of Atomik can be found literally everywhere in Miami (and around the globe.) I barely had arrived and saw these gems all within the same few feet.... you will also see much more of him later.
And, at a gallery exhibit at Wyn317, the opening was on my first evening....
