Arena in 2011? [AY Report]
This is a mural, not graffiti.
I’m curious to when it was created; is it a reference to the “skull culture” that has saturated hip hop wear this past year?
YES YES YES – Bus routes through the Battery Tunnel – B71 & B77!
The sooner the better and on a Real Estate note – even if just a bit – these have to help the valuations of the new condos on 4th Ave.
Actually, France, Italy the Netherlands and especially England are going through a huge Grafitti explosion right now. Those places are starting to look increasingly more like the Bronx, but their Grafitti is alot worse, and 20 years too late..
8:58 – you sound as dull as a butter knife. Get out of your comfortable hipster zone and experience the real world.
bad flickr “tagging,” no pun intended
I disagree about the above-featured photo. I think this painting is cool, and I usually hate graffiti.
Actually, these graffiti are in Sunnyside, Queens, near 43rd St. and Greenpoint. The “Nelson’s” is in reference to Nelson’s Christmas Shoppe, located there.
Bad flickr tagging.
Graffiti are a thing of the past and this one doesn’t bite, sort of designer’s stuff. Bed-Stuy will be soon stripped of its artistic community like any other hoods simply bec gentrification isn’t about affordability. Sorry New York will become like Paris eventually where there are beautiful things but no breathing artists – to borrow someone’s vision.
Great idea to open an art studio in an already gentrifying expensive neighborhood, so that artists can claim they were forced out as the condos are built and we can argue this all over again.
