A small worn sticker found stuck to a railing on the west side. It’s almost invisible with the silver metallic base on the metal railing. The blend kind of echoes the all lowercase sans serif lettering and rounded corners. It is unimposing in its presentation and quietly powerful in its message.

Here’s a piece I’ve been trying to capture for a while, but it’s been obscured. They finally moved all the construction materials and it was revealed in the spring sun. Striking colors with the gradient and dots adding detail and personality. Plus the highlights adding shine make it a top notch piece of work.

It’s always nice to find street art in a neighborhood filled with high end art galleries. A good sized stencil piece tucked inside a loading dock reminiscent in subject matter of that other famous, shall not be identified street artist. Plus, the bonus of people being moved enough by it to contribute their own messages.

An older photo I found in the archives that never got posted. It looks to be a commission from TotemGraffx for a cannabis shop next door. I recall it being a bit hidden with an overpass (maybe the High Line?) to the left. The whole black background helps to keep it a little unnoticed while still making all the gorgeous foreground colors stand out. Also an interesting contradiction between the loose feather painting (almost brush like) and the precision line work in the lettering below.

Another photo found in the 2025 archives to bring a bit of blue to the site. It’s a wonderful gradient that just jumps out. Paired with a strong black outline shadow and all the little white highlights and it’s really glowing. Well practiced, very experienced and well executed.

Bringing a bit of color into the new year, by digging through the last of last year’s photos. It’s a classic take by a skilled artist. Three colored outlines, internal shading and highlights, arrow quotes and a two toned background — there’s a ton of good work going on in this piece. The shape of the lettering gives it a good flow too. Here’s hoping this new year is filled with lots of color and flow.

Fresh off Zohran’s wonderful win in the mayor’s race and the well deserved hype about his campaign branding, I saw this piece rolling the streets on a panel delivery truck. Like the campaign, it’s got it’s roots firmly stuck in the orange and blue of the Mets while nodding to the typography of the Knicks. It’s big and bold. In some ways it reminds me of a candy bar wrapper, the sugar filled Saturday morning cartoon inside joke that only the kids understand. I like to imagine it’s the hand of another famous New York resident, King Kong, who is bringing the knowledge to set the record straight.
