Eye on the Street: Free the Ponz

February 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Free the Ponz! Now! Our friend Miss Heather beat us to this one by a couple of days, but we could not let this superb bit of topical street art slip by without taking note of it. Justice for Maddoff. Look at the bright side, if he’d been caught selling crack, he’d be going to […]

Eye on the Street: Supine on Kent

October 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This is a Judith Supine work on Kent Avenue near Metropolitan in Williamsburg. Like much of her work, we dig it a lot. The interesting, non-art-related back story involves the building to which it is affixed. It is a paint factory with enough toxic issues to keep environmental regulators busy for a long time and […]

August 28th, 2008 · Comments Off on Eye on the Street: A Little Bit of Everything

This is the side of an old building in Williamsburg on N. 8 Street between Driggs and Bedford Avenues that always manages to attract a lot of street art. Work has been going on in the old industrial building itself that at one point seemed to be a prelude to demolition, which would be a […]
