DUAL
Iconoclastically Yours



For the last 4 years, local street artist DUAL has tore up Houston, Texas. His love for creation and destruction is an itch he can't shake. Through a variety of methodologies- from paint and canvas to ink and silkscreen and mouse and monitor- DUAL is an art addict with a mission. His street installations employ guerrilla war tactics, but they are personal "urban beautification projects".

New work and projects are always posted at DUALSTREETS
