Trade Street/Winston-Salem Public Art #4

 This monolith of art stands at 6th and Trade, and the pieces change once or twice a year, I think.
 It's easy to walk right by this critter without noticing.  Art's everywhere around Trade and Liberty Streets in Winston-Salem, so stop looking at your damn phone.
 Here's the other steampunkish mechanical insect thingamajig.  You may not notice it, but it sees you.
 A little lower on the art monolith.
 This is one of the oldest murals in the Winston-Salem art district, and is at 6th and Trade, right by the art monolith thingy.
When not blogging, I'm Winston-Salem's premiere (and pretty much only) Sharpie marker artist.  You can check out several of my pieces at Designs, Vines, and Wines, which is located in Studios at 625 on Trade.  There are eight different artists that have studios there, plus a few featured artists, like myself.  Rachel at D,V,&W paints and does a bit of everything.  She also does create and sip projects ($25 to make your own art; supplies, laughs, and wine included).  Tammy Ballard does these amazing ink pieces.  That sounds lame, but they're really cool, just hard to describe.  Donell is a painter and muralist, and is there often.  There a couple more painters, an amazing fine art photographer, a travel photographer, and also a bunch of jewelry in there.  625 is also open more than many of the shops on Trade, which are closed a lot for some reason.  Check it out.
