'rode the Metro North -- for the first time in years -- up to Beacon, NY yesterday to check out Whisper at work on his upcoming exhibit "Four Ever." While there, I walked some distance over to the the space at 510 Main Street to view the outdoor Electric Walls exhibit. Much of it didn't work for me -- as many of the pieces lost the spirit of street art. They looked far too manufactured for the particular space.But the Chris Stain pieces across the street are stunning. They, alone, were worth the trek up there.

In the Bronx
There's always something amazing going on in the back space at Tuff City. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to see writers in action. Today I didn't come upon anyone painting, but I did see some stunning pieces -- including this one.

Michael Anderson Sticker Installation
'walked by the ACE Hotel to check out both the Shepard Fairey and the Mint & Serf murals -- both still looking good -- though somewhat ravaged. The biggest surprise, though, was in the hotel's lobby -- an amazing sticker installation by Michael Anderson. According to the info a woman at the desk gave me, Anderson is an artist/designer (and more) who has collected over 40,000 graffiti stickers! Among the stickers on exhibit are some real classics like Twist, Obey and ESPO, The Ace is at 20 West 29th St.

NYC Stickers
I've been coming upon so many cool hand-made postal stickers in mid-town these past few days. I guess this is the right time of year for this!

In Chelsea
Since my last visit to this spot -- about a week ago -- it has been "reclaimed" by A.S.V.P., Nyte Walka and Army of One.

Close-up of Roof from 7 Train
When I left 5Pointz yesterday, Meres told me about an artist up on the roof painting a humongous Biggie Smalls. I actually caught a glimpse of the artist and the piece from the 7 train on my way back to the city!

David Walker on the LES
I came upon this stunning image yesterday on East Houston. One of my flickr buddies identified the artist as David Walker.
