I’m not sure if it’s a New York thing or not, but I love that small business owners have artists paint the sides of their trucks with absolutely outlandish graffiti scenes. These panel trucks roam the city with just some hand applied vinyl lettering on the cab doors with the business name, address and phone number. (No website, never.) Meanwhile, the rest of the truck is completely covered in an unrelated piece of art. I like to imagine a giant nigh time parking lot filled with a gallery of panel truck masterpieces quietly sleeping. Upon waking they bump and stumble out to spread across the city, double parking for brief moments of revelation.
As to why this phenomenon occurs, I’m guessing this the old school tactic of embracing the “vandals” rather than fighting them. Just give the kids a chance already. And honestly, it’s a much better form of advertising. Home made, personal and unique.

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.

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.

A phrase that keeps popping up in the culture from songs, to films, to television and now on the streets of the city. Laid down by a strong hand with confident brush strokes to quickly get the message on concrete. There’s plenty of flair too with the arrow rising out of the”N”. Whether we like it or not, the moon will always have a hold on us. Gravity and imagination together to influence us.

A quick illustration with flair and a signature the gives off a vintage vibe. It’s kind of like a modern day Zorro just happened to walk by, win a duel and then slash his message across this pillar. And it looks like The Feather has done it before. There’s a hint of the old tag erased or painted over. But you can’t stop The Feather! (Ping when the TV series starts. I’m in.)
