"OTHER" STREET ART OF NYC

           In an attempt at some semblance of organization for my many years of street art    documentation, I have used the usual categories of aerosol spray, wheat paste, stencil, etc., but the street gives up many of its best surprises under the category of "other".  This would include, figures woven onto fences, clay characters, crocheted objects, sculptures of cast off junk, or collage wood walls.

                   around downtown NY for over a decade.
