East River Time's Up
We met at the East River Time’s Up in Williamsburg. The ride was co-led by Jake Dobkins and Becki Fuller, both longtime street art photographers and bloggers.

Strangely other listings on the web stated that the ride would cover Queens and Harlem as well, which would have been a sweaty marathon. As it was we covered a large chunk of Williamsburg and then headed to Bushwick, enough riding for me as my trip started across the bridge on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

The lines of this amazing rabbit are from a fine tipped spray can, wielded by the French Artist ROA. Factory Fresh had a wonderful show of his work this past May. The bike tour ended up Bushwick and they let us park our bikes behind the gallery to see the show.

Sweet Paste
A small piece but one of the favorite things I saw, artist unknown to me.

Old Christian Paine
The Christian Paine piece looks in a style he was using five years ago, though most of them deteriorated quickly in the weather. I always like the name, even more blatant than Lost’s Christian Shepard, and the fact that he was putting out one-ups, original paintings on paper.

Gaia Grandfather
Grandfather by Gaia. Gaia is a young talented painter and printer, the placement of this piece is ballsy.
