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: Mail Slot
November 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment
This is the current appearance of the front door of our favorite building at 184 N. 8 Street in Williamsburg that serves as a spot for some excellent street art. It does make for one heck of a mail slot. The building is currently on the market for a commercial lease and we’re really hoping […]

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 […]

Here’s some Feral Child that had already seen its best days by the time we got to it on N. 8 Street between Bedford and Driggs in Williamsburg. There’s a Dain to its left and an Obey behind it.

We’re not clear on the artist here, although we probably should no. The face is on a wall on N. 6 Street in Williamsburg where a lot of art has come and gone over the years.

Eye on the Street: A Little Bit of Everything
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 […]

This really cool artwork is currently appearing on an old industrial building between N. 9 and N. 10 Street on Roebling in Williamsburg. We’re not sure about the artist, but have faith that someone knows.

Eye on the Street: Dude on the Wall
August 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment
We have no idea whose work this, but we do like this art that we found wheatpasted to a Williamsburg wall the other day. It clearly has to do with money and the burning thereof.

It’s been there on a wall in South Williamsburg for a bit, but we like the way the street art mixes with the summer vegetation.
