We got a photo of this lovely painting recently purchased by a Sheepshead Bites reader (who can reveal himself if he wishes, but I figured it best not to identify people with valuable art in their homes). This is an Alan Streets original streetscape of Coney Island.

Streets is a rising star in the contemporary art scene and has been compared to Picasso, van Gough, and Basquiat. A native of London, Streets is paranoid schizophrenic and uses his art as a form or therapy. His influences include New York graffiti, Hieronymus Bosch, and Salvador Dali.

You can find out more about Streets by visiting[ his website](http://www.alanstreets.com/index.php?ref=bklyner.com) or watching the documentary *[My Name is Alan and I Paint Pictures](http://mynameisalan.com/?ref=bklyner.com)*, which follows Streets for six years in London and New York City.
