Spring Street Starts

Friday, December 31st, 2004
Spring Street starts at the Bowery. The old Germania Bank building, basement vault to roof, is the studio/residence of photographer Jay Maisel. It has been a haven for street art for many years.
Go west one block to Elizabeth Street and you come to the mysterious 11 Spring Street, a long time street art mecca and generally strange old place. Last year it was sold to Lachlan Murdoch, son of right-wing media-mogul Rupert.

Art Over Armageddon

Thursday, December 30th, 2004
This "Let’s Play Armageddon" poster seems to be a favorite to deface quickly. I’ve yet to see one intact. I’m thinking that the stencil of the woman painting the blobular forms is a suble subtle signature of WK studios. Bleecker Street near Bowery.
More bloblular
More WK
More Armageddon

We had about an inch and a half of snow on the ground by dawn,
yesterday morning. The moon is setting over Houston Street.
Third Street from Avenue B.
