Keep on Truckin

Spotted on 8th Street and 2nd

Anime

East Village

This striking piece was applied on a perfect backdrop surface. The smooth earthy-red wall is smooth and warm. The throw-up has a really cool use of both curved and spiked letters. It's sort of rolling and menacing at the same time.

Silvered Black Doorway

3rd Avenue, East Village

Disparate elements unify this black and grated doorway into a singular work. The tags don't overlay each other, with an unusually uncompetitive use of space. While the doodle-like drawings, a dancer and a big eared creature, gyrate up the doorway complimenting the more serious tagging work, as well as modifying the menace suggested by the grated window.

KS

Rivington Street, Chinatown / Lower East Side.

Big, bold and silver. KS fits its fat bubble between posters and a sprinkler warning sign.

S Crest

South Allen Street, Lower East Side.

There is a regal feeling to this one lettered tag, giving it the feeling of a grimey crest.
