With over 300 artists in the index, www.unurth.com is a great site to discover street art from around the world, captured in the past 2 years.
Some of my favorite street art comes from Banksy a London Graffiti street artist. www.banksy.co.uk His art shows up on walls around the world, and painted pieces have been known to fetch up to $576,000 US.

Another artist I enjoy following is Mark Jenkins. www.xmarkjenkinsx.com Most of his art pieces are instillation's made from packing tape, sometimes he creates real life people too, which are very interesting. His art has been shown in galleries around the world.
On his site Aakash writes: My street work consists of mostly isometric triangles and squares. I selectively place these graphics around New York to highlight the contours and elegant geometry of the city itself. I'm trying to offer the people a chance to step into a different New York than they are used to seeing and in turn momentarily escape routine scheduled lives. I think this is a great statement on why street art is so great. It gives a break from it all and allows us to imagine through the eyes of the artist. Its not in a gallery or on a wall in someones house. Its on our streets where everyone can see it, where it supposed to be so hopefully it can have that effect on us all.
