As I was in Chelsea, I checked out the currrent exhibit at Jonathan LeVine. Despite my strong prejudice against this type of pop surrealism, I was somewhat intrigued by Erik Mark Sandberg's eerie portraits that -- according to the press release -- focus "on the relationship between projected idealized archetypes and their unattainable emulation." Now -- that I can dig!

The Perils of It All
A few days ago, Jesus Saves contacted me to let me know that he'd been in jail for the past few weeks. I asked him to write up an account of what had happened, as I've met few writers who haven't had to deal with this kind of thing. I edited some and here it is: http://bomit.com/stickerblog/2011/01/28/back-home-from-20-days-by-jesus-saves/

Stuck on the Williamsburg Bridge
I was amazed by how many stickers -- from contemporary classics like these to weathered ancient ones -- we came upon while crossing the Williamsburg Bridge yesterday.
From the Williamsburg Bridge
Tara and I got some great views of tags, bombs, throw-ups and pieces yesterday -- as we walked over the Williamsburg Bridge. But we vowed never to do it again in such frigid weather!

Beautiful Decay
I'm starting to pay attention to fragments -- mostly of wheatpastes -- I used to overlook. I've been following this wall in Williamsburg for years. It's been in various stages of decay for awhile now!
