The Boxer. My guess is this is a neighborhood street art hater, not an art schooler, like the Splasher of yore. But active street art hating is definitely a trend. Before

But this one came out kinda pretty.

Update, May 21: Another Beau, defaced in a similar manner, this one on the Lower East Side. Maybe it’s not an angry neighbor.

Just a reminder ELBOW-TOE is participating in A.G.A.S.T
(Annual Gowanus Artist Studio Tour).
The dates of the studio tour are Saturday and Sunday October 17 – 18 from 1 – 6 pm.

At this event, you will have the unique opportunity to get
small (Recession Sized) versions of ELBOW-TOE pieces at
extremely friendly (Recession Priced) prices. He will be
selling 10 different prints from his latest street work as well
as some oldies but goodies. They will be limited to editions of 30.
He will be setting up an ETSY store to make the ease of purchasing
more convenient for you. Once that is established we will be
integrating a shop section to the site, so check back often.

For more information on on A.G.A.S.T, please visit

Here’s a piece by Elbow Toe that will be in the show:

Interview: Elbow-Toe Hits Up Streets of London

Update August 5: This Dan Witz piece was a definite favorite. Each face was done with the care of a portrait.

And it gathered an appropriate amount of awe from the crowd.

A detail. Oil and mixed media on canvas.

I was pleased to see that Elbow Toe’s portrait paste-up of yours truly is still visible in this Soho doorway. It’s been there since March ’08. Though it looks like they are renovating the building, and the doorway will soon be buffed.

Flat Stanley came up from Myrtle Beach to stay with me for a week. This morning we went shopping at Trader Joe’s.
Here he is posing in front of a Jim Power streetlight mosaic.

Flat Stanley wonders what this is all about.

Flat Stanley was very happy that the Soy Creamy sandwiches were back in stock.
