Nashville Scene: Best Street Artist

BEST STREET ARTIST: RYAN M. McCAULEY
In November of last year, seemingly overnight, Five Points in East Nashville was besieged by wheat-paste robots. And while the business owners who suddenly found themselves under robot attack might not have been happy, we certainly appreciate McCauley's robo-retro street art vision. Whether it's a green android peering out at you on Main Street or a mob of cardboard-box robots parading through the Art Crawl, McCauley's work is both daring and consistently cool. —LANCE CONZETT

Make sure to pick up an issue of the Nashville Scene: Best of Nashville 2012. Flipping through the pages you'll find an array of features on talented Nashvillians. I was flattered to be selected Best Street Artist. Though I feel I'm just getting things rolling in Nashville, It's good to see that people are taking notice to my work. I guess I'll have to step my game up in 2013. I have a title to defend.
