Well … okay, maybe not the best forever-ever, ever-ever, ever-ever … but close. This truck, which is often parked near a flea market in Soho in New York City, is one of our all-time favorite examples of graf-on-vehicle aeresol art. And it’s certainly one of the most colorful in allContinue Reading
And here is yet another photo of the Sony PSP “street art” ads in downtown New York City. Like how these are usually in pairs. The doe-eyed kids look partly inspired by Japanese manga comic books. Background: During the past few months, we’ve seen dozens of these street art piecesContinue Reading

During the past few months, we’ve seen dozens of these street art pieces of kids engaged with various handheld toys and other objects that, upon closer inspection, are actually Sony PlayStation Portable devices, that is, the PSP.

While we’re on the subject of spaces and places in downtown Manhattan that are no more, here’s a shot of the recently torn down Gaseteria gas station at the corner of Houston and Lafayette streets in Soho, New York City. More precisely, it’s a picture of a billboard advertisement ofContinue Reading

As pure street art goes, wheat pastes are probably our favorite medium. That this cathead is approximatelyContinue Reading
Our series of posts on Paris street art and graf continues with this image snapped in the Les Marais neighborhood. This plaster or wood plaque has a high-contrast image of doll’s head rendered on it, but the eyes have been blocked out. Kind of creepy, but thus an effective, powerfulContinue Reading
And here’s another close-up shot of the adhesive bandage street-art. There’s a bit of drippy black graf on this green relay-mailbox in Soho in New York City. But it’s covered by a cheeky piece of street art in the form of a giant adhesive bandage: A street art dressing forContinue Reading
