Graffiteur NYC: Not Graffiti, But...

Someone's got a cheeky ad agency. Love this riff on Shepard Fairey's Obey Giant for this classical music station - found in the Lower East Side.

Clever use of a parking pay station in the Lower East Side.

Graffiteur NYC: Saint Magnum

Tom Selleck deserves sainthood solely for his 'stache, which I hear has the power to turn babies blue with polka dots. I'm so glad someone's finally captured his awesome divinity. Found in Chinatown.

Graffiteur NYC: Mini-Olek?

Ok, so this probably isn't an Olek, and it may not even be intentional street art, but coming across it today on 7th Avenue was just as unexpected and wonderful. It makes me think of the penguin knitting project - people are knitting little outfits for penguins caught in a recent oil spill. The knitwear keeps them from preening their feathers and thus getting poisoned...but I digress.
