Chicago's Ray 'CRO' Noland

STREET ART: Chicago's Ray 'CRO' Noland

Chicago, July 2010 -- Ray Noland is perhaps better known here in Chicago as CRO, the street name of this artist whose work can be seen all over Chicago, indoors and out. Noland gained attention with his grassroots campaign "GoTellMama" for Barack Obama's 2008 election. Politics has remained a major source of inspiration for Noland especially considering that shortly after Obama's victory in 2008, then-Governor Rod Blagojevich (now impeached and removed from office) was arrested on a myriad of corruption charges.
