It's a funny thing about street art that an old piece can suddenly stand out to you as though it's new, and a new piece can look like it's been there forever. That said, I really feel like this is new, but if it's not, that's OK because it's beautifully done. It looks almost like it was done in chalk first and then colored in, but what you can't see in the detail photo is that it's not chalky, it's like some kind of paint stick or something.
As for the artist, that one name looks like Faile, which is common in this neighborhood, although not for this kind of work. Also, I read here that one of the Faile members went to school in Minneapolis.
This is on the Mill Building. Wythe near N3rd.
Peripatetic.
