I am talking about before they came famous. I'm always down there photographing the Quarter and other areas, and I will stop to look at some of the art on display. Some of the stuff is nice work and not over priced, some of the stuff is junk.

I wonder if any famous artist sold art in the Quarter back in the day. I have ought a couple pieces before, not in the Quarter, and found out later the piece had skyrocketed.

Depends on your definition of famous.

I believe he went by Michal, but yes: Michalopoulos.

Peter Oniel has two galleries on Royal....he started as a street artist, although I think he may have originated in Florida he did spend some time in Nola. I own some of his work and love it
