Graffiti Project

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am starting a graffiti project.  I've been working on it for almost a month and so far I have walked around Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Just from what I've seen so far, I have to say that I've found more interesting graffiti/street art in Brooklyn, but that's just a personal preference.  As someone who was born, and spent the first seventeen years of my life, in Brooklyn, it holds a special place in my heart.  Most of these pictures from Brooklyn were taken around the Williamsburg Bridge area.




























Near Williamsburg Bridge.  Sometimes the things people write are just as interesting as the things they paint.




























Taken in Brooklyn.  This is definitely one of the more colorful examples of street art that I've seen.

























Taken on the Lower East Side 

























It seems that I am drawn to colorful skeletons and apparently I am drawn to the work of this particular artist.  I noticed that the name by the skeleton was Bradley Theodore, and it sounded familiar to me, so when I got home I checked some of the photos in my "graffiti/street art" folder and I came across this photo:




 Funnily enough, it was in my last post.  His work is so eye catching.  I wonder when I'll happen to come across some of his art again?  When I was looking up the artist, I found that this is actually a mural near L'asso Pizzeria on Kenmare and Mott streets.  As a New Yorker, I am all about pizza, so I might have to drop in there next time I'm in the neighborhood.
