A toynbee tile laid down on a busy East Village intersection. I’ll be curious to see how it holds up to the wear.

House of Hades

One man against shitocrat and neocon news agenda in ’2009

Update Oct. 3, 09:
It’s held up fine. When I passed it today there was no sign of wear. I found this one today:
House of Hades - Justice for Jim Power
On St. Mark’s Place, another busy intersection, and the tile is holding up to the traffic. Seems to be a Toynbee Tile. Mosaic Man Jim Power’s work is most prominent on St. Mark’s Place and environs. I’m not sure what justice is sought for Powers, a Viet Nam vet. I know he was evicted from his East Village residence awhile back and has had some health problems. His blog is here, he is seeking donations to restore his Mosaic Trail in the neighborhood.

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 Ponders
Flat Stanley wonders what this is all about.

Flat Stanley at Trader Joe's
Flat Stanley was very happy that the Soy Creamy sandwiches were back in stock.

Flat Stanley at St Mark's Church
Flat Stanley learned that in 1651, Petrus Stuyvesant, Governor of New Amsterdam, purchased land for a bowery or farm from the Dutch West India Company
and by 1660 built a family chapel at the present day site of St. Marks Church.
Stuyvesant died in 1678 and was interred in a vault under the chapel.

Flat Stanley and the tidy Rat
Flat Stanley applauds the efforts of this tidy rat.

This is quite an unusual Jim Power mosaic. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him take such care in rendering the human form.
