So many street artists have done portraits of Obama. This may be my favorite.

After spending a few hours Friday afternoon at Hamilton Fish doing some promotion for Clark's VOTE exhibit, I decided to walk up Houston Street to see the David Choe piece that I'd heard so much about. 'noticed lots more street art than usual on the way. Then when I reached the Bowery, I realized something was happening. 'was the opening day of "Outsiders" -- an exhibit of some of London's best street artists -- housed for about two weeks in a former restaurant on the Bowery. 'glad I got to see it -- two floors of exciting works. When I left, I noticed Clayton Patterson outside, mourning the demise/gentrification of the Bowery.

What a Beautiful Bird!

I love these birds and watching the progress of their creation -- from the seductive background to the different colored layers.

After spending my day reading about domestic violence and its effect on children (to help Sara with her research), I took the crosstown bus to the Park Avenue Armory. I was curious to check out Creative Time's "Democracy in America: The National Campaign." There wasn't much to engage me, but this beautiful Chris Stain mural made the trip worthwhile.
