VEEFER Spree

2011-02-23T21:53:00.001-05:00

Noticed some fresh Veefer tags within 2 to 3 blocks from my house. The first may not be as new as the others, but the last three are new for sure. The last one was done right across the street from my house. I wonder if I'd ever walked past the guy without knowing.

This cop insisted on posing for the picture, it was a bit ridiculous.

Spring in February

2011-02-20T15:12:00.000-05:00

I took advantage of the nice weather this Friday and spend the afternoon strolling the city. I walked from 34th Street to Union Square and snapped photo's along the way. The only downside of the day was having to stop every three blocks for a bathroom break. Ah, the joys of pregnancy....

"Love Art!"

It seems like everywhere I go, I run into him. Found these while downtown in Chelsea yesterday evening on 29th Street. I can't make out the last tag, but they both seem to be part of the same crew.

I'm sick with a terrible cold, and although it's getting nice out, I won't be doing much traveling until I get better. Hope it's soon! Until next time!

Happy Valentines Day!

2011-02-14T23:00:00.005-05:00

So February has been off to a slow start. It disappoints me but snow, freezing weather and being six months pregnant just doesn't mix. My safety and the safety of my baby is more important than anything else right now. But don't think I've given up on my art. If anything I'm more focused and determined than ever before.

I made the smart choice of hauling around my camera out with me while on my way to my V day dinner today. While on my way from the subway to the restaurant, I couldn't help but stop to take a photo of this awesome truck.

I can't help to take a chance to show off the first shots of my little one in the womb. She's waving hello in the first photo!

I really hope the weather keeps getting better. I'm excited to finally be able to travel more. Hope to have some new material for you guys sooner rather than later. And like always, stayed tuned for the next one.

"Love Art!"

"it's... E!"

Oh Mr. Sunshine!

2011-02-03T22:51:00.001-05:00

The sun was FINALLY out today! I didn't go anywhere but to school and back, but I had my camera (like always) and snapped some photos on my way back home.

First shot was taken on the bus crossing the Madison Avenue bridge back to the Bronx.

This Snorlax tag I have seen and photographed around my neighborhood before but this one I'm pretty sure is new. I don't remember seeing it before the storm, and I do know for sure I had never photographed it.

Hope the sun keeps shinning like it did today. Stay tuned for the next one!

"Love Art!"

Snowed In :(

2011-01-31T01:04:00.001-05:00

This horrible weather has limited me from traveling anywhere. The times I do go out, I travel by cab, so my graffiti sight seeing has been next to nothing.

I did travel downtown to the Seaport this weekend for work and spotted this tag while exiting the Fulton Street Station. I had spotted it before at the same exit about two weeks ago, I'm not sure if the latest one was already there and I had missed it, or if it was done after I had spotted the first.

1/29/11

1/18/11

If anyone can decipher it, please feel free to let me know. I have no idea what to call this one.

Until next time!

It was a beautiful scene this morning with the snow falling. This was along the Harlem River Drive by Washington Heights.

2011-01-23T20:33:00.000-05:00

I had a busy weekend and it took me a couple of days to get these photos up from this Friday evening. After stopping by my job at the Seaport, me and the boo decided to head to the Chelsea Olive Garden for a delicious meal.

BUT, back to graff...

A Stroll Through The Back Streets

2011-01-18T01:29:00.000-05:00

Decided to get my big pregnant ass out of the house for some exercise and took a walk to the Gateway Center Target store. Decided on the "scenic" route walking under the Major Deegan highway and snapped photos of the pieces I saw along the way.

Until next time peoples!

Something Old & Something New.

2011-01-11T13:24:00.002-05:00

I spent the day on campus in Harlem again today. Saw the same ol' tags except for this "SD" face tag on my way to the subway. I've been informed from an old comment posted by an annoymous viewer which I assume to be the writer, that "SD" are initials for SOUL DEALER. Another annomous comment posted on a post about the "SD" tag read, "We shall meet soon." I'll have to wait to be contacted again. Hopefully he or she goes back on my blog and we can meet and look over my photo collection of his tags.

The ADEK tag has been there since May.

I'll use this as a reason to show off some more ADEK and other tag sightings on Broadway between Chambers and White from September 2010.

I also paid a visit to my old neighborhood, Marble Hill. Everything there was also pretty much the same, except for this cute little alien thing signed LOOT. I have a thing for collecting character tags. I do remember seening it before, but couldn't find a photo of it in my archives. I'll be sure to snap a photo if I see this one around again.

This is it for now but I'm back on the streets hard!

"Love Art!"

New Year, Same "Faces"!

2011-01-07T20:09:00.004-05:00

Since the news of my pregnancy early October, a lot of things were put on hold. School and hitting the streets shooting graffiti were among those things. But with the new year, comes the next chapter of my life. I started off 2011 ready to take care of business, and headed off to the City College campus this Wednesday afternoon to register for spring classes, and with my camera at hand, took a stroll by Convent Ave in Harlem and ran into a familiar "face"....

Can you spot the "face" in these last two photos?

Peep the Veefer tag also.

It feels great to be back doing what I love doing. Also in the works is my first graffiti photo book. Release date is still unknown but I'm hoping to have it out before my baby is due early June.

Stay tuned everyone!

2011 will be legendary!

GRAFFITI NYC: ARTISTS OF THE THIRD RAIL

(I don't think white boy in the back was supposed to be in that picture. It'd be hilarious if he isn't)

I felt honored to had been a part of such a historic event. I was amongst many of the best New York City artist of the past, present, and future. Thanks to Mario & Dia from 1HundredB. Photos from the event can also be viewed at the 1Hundreb flikr page. If you don't see your picture, send me an email for a copy.

It was wild Thursday night at Down The Hatch. I guess the game was how many different places on your body can you put my sticker. Which one is the best? You be the judge.

I got them fiending for it.

I'm disapointed in myself...

2010-04-11T15:54:00.001-04:00

I've still been busy shooting but I've been lazy with posting. I've let personal issues, school and other bullshit get in the way of it. I'm in the process of editing a ton of pictures for the next several post and am working hard at getting the blog up to date. My apologizes to all, and thanks for visiting. Stay tuned for future post!

GIMP

2010-04-03T15:44:00.002-04:00

I thought this lady was going to smack the camera out of hand right after this, but after talking to her about what I was shooting and about the blog, she was cool.

I was looking through my graffiti photo's and I noticed some SD face tags hidden between the layers of throw ups. Can you spot it? There are three in total. (Hint: In the 1st photo it's on the right hand side of the wall.)

Met the kid behind this JAP tag on the back of this truck at the graffiti galore event. Shot this with my camera phone today while leaving Jimbos. It's cool to know the people behind the art. Keep doing your thing kid!
