I almost never walk along Avenue C when I head over to the Village from Hamilton Fish. But when I did take that route on Friday, I discovered one of the most interesting doors in town -- with layer upon layer of stickers and paste-ups -- many of which I'd never seen before.

Found in the East Village
Walking along Avenues B and C in the East Village on Friday, I was struck -- once again -- by the clear demarcation between the folks who've lived down there for years and the relatively new residents. Jarred by the sudden transition of barely adequate bodegas into upscale cafes, I noticed this!

The 5Pointz Wedding
What a setting for a wedding! And I love the backdrop. 'seems as though the groom is already on his way out!
5Pointz Anew
Dani returned to 5Pointz earlier in the week to discover that the scaffolding that had been up for the past few months was finally removed. Missing, too, are the stairs on both sides. Most of the writing on the walls is new, the top row dedicated to writers who have passed away.

Cope
As Mikey drove me around the Bronx yesterday, I probably saw more Cope2 pieces in a few hours than I saw in the past few months. This one may be my favorite. I love its colors and flow. 'cool how all of Cope's pieces refer to both his mom and Indie.
Beond @ Da Bakery
'went with Mikey over to Da Bakery, an impressivel new graffiti shop and gallery @ 1700 Southern Blvd. in the Bronx. 'loved the artwork on exhibit, the selection of magazines and books, and the limited edition artist cans by Montana -- two of which I bought! Situated right off the 174th Street stop on the 2 or 5 train, it is easily accessible. 'looking forward to returning.

Bronx Graffiti Character
Mikey Colon, a passionate graffiti photographer who is in the process of updating his website, http://www.kingsofnewyork.net/, gave me a wonderful tour earlier today of some of the best walls in the Bronx. 'could not believe the range of characters and diversity of styles. Among my favorite characters is this one grasping onto the iconic bee.
