It had been awhile since I walked down Houston Street. As I suspected, there wasn't much new happening -- street art-wise. I suppose only the most-committed are out there in this weather! But I did find a few stickers that looked fairly recent.

Installation in Progress
Chino and Nelson (aka Chief 69) began installing the next graf/street art exhibit in the "Staying Alive" series at Hamilton Fish Library. I was amazed by how proficient both were this time around -- only the second time they have ever done anything like this.

Twelph Sketch for "Staying Alive: Part II"
I am enjoying the bold colors and uncanny composition of Twelph's sketches as I scan them -- before we begin mounting them tomorrow for the next in the series of the "Staying Alive" exhibits at Hamilton Fish.

Waiting for the 4 Train
While waiting for a train in this city, the only time I'm checking out my surroundings -- rather than catching up on my reading -- is when I'm on the 2 or 4 line up in the Bronx. The layer upon layer of tags and bombs always staggers me!

Outside My Manhattan Mini-Storage
As I've been spending most of my time clearing out my house in Teaneck these days, I've been street-art starved! Today we headed into the city to store some more books, art and clothes. What a pleasant surprise to find this right outside my mini-storage space on West 57th Street!

Mid-town Sticker Art
Earlier this week, I was thinking just how few hand-drawn stickers I was seeing downtown --- "Hand-drawn stickers...A thing of the past!," I'd mused. But today in mid-town both Overconsumer and Jesus Saves proved me wrong. 'so glad!

Moriah's (aka Momo) stickers
My 16-year old intern has been creating the most intriguing stickers! I just had to scan them before they made their way to the public eye. Moriah is currently working on a number of non-sticker pieces for an upcoming exhibit at Hamilton Fish, NYPL.
That Door on Rivington Street
I noticed this character on that door on Rivington Street -- where I'd first discovered Swoon's work. Then we saw him pasted up in quite a few places while we were walking from Rivington over to Gallery 151 on the Bowery.

Sharp -- close up -- @ Gallery 151
'checked out the exhibit "Green Style" earlier this evening. Sharp's work mesmerized me -- as it often does. 'am curious about this -- as it's not the image I'd expect to see integrated into his wild-style graffiti. The only clue is the Hebrew "Aharon," as Sharp's name is Aaron Goodstone.
Spotted on the Upper West Side
Although there isn't much street art to be found in my neighborhood, I did spot these stickers along Broadway in the 70's while running errands these past few days.

We B*Girlz @ Lincoln Center, August, 2006
I just discovered a series of photos I took from a break-dancing event at Lincoln Center in August 2006. 'surprised to have them, as I almost never documented graffiti back then.

From Jason Mamarella's Black Book
'had a great time this afternoon checking out pages from Jason Mamarella's black books from the 90's. My intern, Moriah, especially loves Jason's characters. She scanned in quite a few of her favorites. This is among them. Thanks, Jason!

5Pointz, LIC
I finally had a chance to check out the photos that my son, Dani, took early last month at 5Pointz. This piece is my favorite. I love its wondrous flow and dynamic colors.
