here is some pretty stuff off the streets of New York. graffiti is banned in New York, which is unfortunate. good thing nobody cares to keep it under control in the industrial parts of Williamsburg – i am gloating every time i walk the dog. i cannot wait for the academia to stop being so prude and start gloating as well. 

not sure what's the name of this type of art, but this is not graffiti. you can see this piece at the intersection of Houston and Bowery.

 

this miserable thing appears on a fence at the cross of Bedford and N 7th in Williamsburg. a large pile of trash always accumulates in the corner right next to this piece.

large piece somewhere on Berry in Williamsburg

i really like this ad

our dog loves to pee on the corner next to this alien cub. location: somewhere in Williamsburg

some idiot ruined this piece with yellow paint. this is somewhere on Berry street in Williamsburg.

This industrial slum is where I happen to burry my bone for now. Without further ado…

Art History needs to hit the streets beyond chewing on graffitti over and over. 

Some stuff around ‘burg.

P.S. Another thanks to Jesse for the Rebel. I am getting hooked on the look of the expensive-camera pictures. Why would it be, honestly?

Octopuses, on the other hand, don’t intimidate me, so I stick to those.

Emptyheadedness is responsible for these profound posts, so don’t ask me any questions, ok?

P.S. Thanks to Jesse for letting me walk around with his awesome Canon Rebel; too bad I wasted it on the octopuses.
