"WHEAT PASTE CITY"

For walkers and gawkers, this town is full of visual treats in unlikely places. I love these surprises, especially wheat pastes which continue to amaze as a measure of the determination to get work up on the walls. They obviously take considerable time and 
effort and are still perhaps the most ephemeral form of street art. 

Here's a big Hats-off to the many talented artists who contribute to the ongoing show.

"SPIN CYCLE"

This past weekend we went upstate for a last dollop of autumn and a visit with our friend, Maria Reidelbach. She operates the Homegrown Mini-Golf featuring the worlds largest garden gnome.  Among her other oddball interests she maintains an online 
needlepoint museum. She had just received a donated jacket that was completely covered in needlepoint patches and I felt it was definitely worthy of documentation.   

Here's a quick gif celebration I call "Spin Cycle"...

"SCARY SEASON"

The scary season is upon us, so please enjoy this mini fright fest of graphic items from the walls, windows and yards of NYC and beyond...





                                  a small, confused slice of the millions of acres of spider web spray…

                                                     too much candy...

                                                     finger food


                                 sign me up…

                                a bad choice on "Match"…

"BILLBOARD CITY"

Maybe I'm just easily amused , but I love the constantly shifting billboard backgrounds that are always in play in this town.

"EVERYONE'S GOT SOMETHING TO SAY"

Everyone's got something to say, and sometimes it just spills out
in unlikely places...

"CLIMATE ACTION NYC"

Yesterday we joined a unicorn and her kids on the subway up to Central Park.
where an exuberant throng of several hundred thousand people were gathered for
the largest demonstration on climate change ever.  Every iteration of the issue
was represented in a moving pastiche of signs, sounds, and spirit that put it all
up front on the political map.
