Berkeley, California is transforming into a giant canvasboard for the mysterious artist, or artists, called “Old Crow.” This tagged cabin was visible from the freeway–the ultimate pinnacle of attention. Detail and skill was devoted to crafting this beautiful masterpiece. It wasn’t the usual lettering slop that rookies and non-artists normally partake in.

“Old Crow” has popped up all over the east bay. A search on Tumblr resulted in images featuring the familiar old man, mainly in the Oakland area. From abandoned buildings, train cars, power poles, and underpasses. Another symbol of Old Crow has also appeared in Berkeley–a green shadow logo.

Old Crow isn’t limited to California. Images have popped up in New York, Arizona, and even the farmland.

This raises a curious question: is Old Crow an actual mysterious artist, akin to the surname Banksy in the U.K.? A group of artists tagging public structures and adopting the moniker?

Is Old Crow also responsible for these images that have appeared on Frontage Road in Emeryville, California? To the right: an impressive display of shadows and bright colors painted successfully on rock.
