Barry Mcgee – Deitch Wall
Monday, August 30th, 2010
Sunday afternoon shadows on the buffed Deitch wall.
Monday afternoon – Barry Mcgee aka Twist on the Deitch wall at Houston and Bowery. Written over night. I like it a lot better up close than how it looks from a distance. This is apparently the base layer, more paint to come.
On the scene coverage from The Art Collectors.
A Theft
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
34th president of US 1953-1961 (1890 – 1969)

Shepard Fairey Blitz
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Newly pasted on the side of street art landmark, Candy Factory. It’s an affecting piece, based on a photo by Martha Cooper.
The Fairey piece on the dumpster has been there for several months, behind is what he is putting on the side of that spaceship hotel on Bowery. So far it looks like wallpaper, better than the faux graffiti it replaces, but he must intend to do more.
Candy Factory Paste Haven
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
The Candy Factory on Wooster Street in Soho, now that the Candle Building has been renovated and the Meat Packing District has been sanitized, is the only place in Manhattan to find such a variety of pasted paper street art. This Chaplin paste-up is by Mr. Brainwash a French graffiti documentarian turned graffiti artist.
