new image up on the Houston St wall - replacing Kenny Scharf piece comes a poster titled Lakota, North Dakota, by French street artist JR as part of his Inside Out Project, a participatory exhibition that encourages people to paste large-scale black-and-white portraits in public places.

a cool reminder

it's finally stopped raining now and we've stepped into a sauna - and here's a quick reminder of not too long ago

raining

2011-05-24T09:48:00.000-07:00

a gathering of yellow wellies, indicating that there is no end in sight - when will it end?

oh yeah!

2011-04-20T20:38:00.000-07:00

will you be going for the 'plumber's crack' jeans? - this store on lower Broadway is showing it all.

(bit strange with the reflection of the sidewalk running through it, but you get the idea)

I'm sure there's something throwaway to be said about this one - I'm just not quite sure what it is

it's tough in the city

2010-12-11T15:31:00.000-08:00

another city casualty - or is this leopard just resting? (see earlier endangered posting)

just strange

2010-12-03T20:15:00.000-08:00

another dark shot: this time very bladerunner - the gyro stand on Rivington at night in front of the latest canvas for advertising - the closed store gates. Sure to end up in some student room soon. I should post a picture of the daytime store as it couldn't be further from Tron!

it's changeover time on the wall - this time looking pretty good with apiece by Barry McGee (Twist) along with his longtime collaborator Josh Lazcano (Amaze). Let's see how long it lasts

found this gorilla sitting in the dumpster - another tragic end for an endangered species in NYC (possibly the victim of a hit as there are dollar signs on his eyelids?!)

mash up

2010-04-17T15:27:00.001-07:00

spotted this random alteration/ mash-up of Steve Carell in Date Night and Edie Falco at the 2nd Ave stop - good and weird

a window

2010-01-18T20:04:00.000-08:00

we went to the opening of who shot rock & roll? at Brooklyn Museum and then saw the window into Tina's mind - on 1st street

is it?

2009-10-28T12:33:00.001-07:00

apparently this is it, but what is it? A nice moment before the MJ posters go up on wall on the Bowery

suburban dreaming- some anonymous masking tape work on Ludlow St

saw this small addition in central park - nice touch

what's this then? shame on you CB2!

2009-02-14T15:15:00.000-08:00

spotted in the new CB2 catalogue - this 'inspired' pillow on the right is so close to Elodie's (on the left) that it's painful. Lacking all the conceptual content of the original, this really is a pale imitation. We wish companies could be upfront and actually approach designers, paying them instead of knocking them off. ........Wait! - there's more!

what's this then? shame on you CB2!

2009-02-14T13:49:00.001-08:00

The creation on the right is also in the catalogue, while the piece on the left is also Elodie's! I think CB2 paid us visit, don't you?

urban sheik!
with a swirl of plastic mac, NYchic is defined under the Manhattan bridge interesting note: a webster definition - usually sheik: a man held to be irresistably attractive to romantic young women

do we have a winter theme here - or is this Richard's car? (apparentlly not connected to 'happy new year' - this one was spotted on 19th St)

to you too!

2009-01-02T13:24:00.000-08:00

happy new year, New York City style - that's the spirit! nice (spotted on 1st St)

paranoid parking? we thought 'bumper bullys' were a stretch, but then we saw this parked on 2nd St.!
