Many works by Dain were wheatpasted up in Williamsburg recently, like this Jackie O and this JFK. This is one that has been up for a bit, we think, but that we came across yesterday and hadn’t posted. It’s on N. 9 Street.

This relatively recent Faile piece (which is one of a group of three of the one) can be found on N. 10 Street near Berry in the Burg on a door that has been a popular street art spot on and off over the years.

This art comes from Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, where it’s affixed to the construction fence where the “Gateway to Williamsburg” a new residential building with street level retail will go up.

We found artist Pasqualina Azzarello working on her mural at the development going up at the corner of Third and Bond in Gowanus. She has been expanding the huge mural and even extending around the construction trailer. Brownstoner has been running weekly posts about the development. The latest has some renderings of the design from […]

This is street art, but much more than that, it’s street sign art. We found it attached to a sign on Grand Street near Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg.

Yesterday, we had a big roach sticker on a Department of Buildings permit. Today, we have the outlines of a face. Tomorrow, who knows? This is from Berry Street in Williamsburg.

These heads appeared this week in a couple of places in Williamsburg. These are on Driggs Avenue between N. 9 & N. 10 Streets.

This is from Berry Street in Williamsburg between N. 6 and N. 7 Streets. We appreciate the juxtaposition of happy face and the unfinished Finger Building.

We found this is Williamsburg, on N. 12 Street at Wythe. It’s clearly a cool stencil that was interrupted in the process of being created. Perhaps someone at Streetsy, which is the place to go to check out NYC street art, will have more detail.

This art was put atop other art on the side of a gallery at N. 11 and Wythe in Williamsburg which, in turn, had been placed atop an earlier display. There are many layers on this corner.

A couple of works by Mandala that have recently appeared in the Burg. The top one is from N. 10 Street. The one below is from Berry Street.

Here’s a new Faile work that went up in the last week on N. 10 Street in the Burg in a spot that has hosted many works over the years.

This old and somewhat annotated and altered stencil of The Gipper comes from Greenpoint. They have been around for years, but still entertain.

This isn’t so much an altered or battered street sign as it is an arty street sign, but we like those too. It comes from Union Street near Third Avenue in Gowanus, mere steps from the Holiday Inn Express.

Our Carroll Gardens Correspondent grabbed a shot of the former site of some cool public art near the Union Street Bridge in Gowanus. Leading us to wonder whether a fraying piece of public art is preferable to the maroon paint job that succeeded it. In any case, the “before and after” juxtaposition is interesting.

We ran a somewhat earlier photo of this artwork yesterday along with some other Burg street art, before we found that it had been updated in a most amusing way. It is from Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg.

The amount of street art one finds in Williamsburg has been decreasing exponentially with each passing year in the 2000s to the point where only finds a small amount of what was around even three years ago and a fraction of what one could find seven or eight years ago and even less than before […]

Here’s some new imagery that appeared recently on Wythe Avenue between N. 3rd and N. 4th Streets. The one above is on a wall that has drawn a great deal of street art over the years. The one below just appeared on a nearby construction fence.

We’ve come across some complaints this week that street art in Williamsburg is too “negative” and “dark.” Well, this isn’t classic street art, but it’s a street-art like display we found on N. 8th Street near Kent Avenue. There is nothing dark or negative about it. Dare we call it cheerful?

We knew there was something odd about the street art that popped up around the building going in next to 55 Berry in Williamsburg last week. Something about it told us the material on N. 10th and N. 11th Streets wasn’t a standard installation of street art, but we had no idea what it was […]

We snapped this photo on Sunday afternoon simply to capture some small changes on the “Faile Wall” on N. 6th Street between Wythe and Kent. Then, yesterday, upon returning from a summer blogging hiatus, our friend INSIJS reported that demolition started yesterday on this site. Definitely check out INSIJS’ full post, which includes some interesting […]

The half life of street art can be long(ish) or short. A case in point of the latter is this piece by Borf on N. 6th Street in Williamsburg that appeared on the same wall where a destroy Banksy used to be and where a number of splashings took place. In any case, a piece […]

If you read GL, you know we love a good street couch, and we especially enjoy ones with great backgrounds, like this one on N. 6th Street in Williamsburg. Nixon and Chairman Mao work well with it. So, the last role played by some Brooklyn sofas is street art.

Williamsburg blogger INSIJS first posted about this new artwork on N. 6th Street last week, wondering if it was the work of Banksy or another street artist. It’s apparently not a Banksy, but we found that the Climbover Girl had a friend when we visited yesterday.
