If it's a handful of oligarchs versus the rest of us, then it's CLASS WAR! says the artist CASH4. #nycgraffiti #classwar
Giant red letters painted on the side of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway with a fire extinguisher spell out CLASS WAR! A man on a bicycle below the graffiti waits for the light to change.

Artist MR NEVER SATISFIED understands the spirit of these times. #eattherich #nycstreetart
The words ALWAYS EAT THE RICH are painted in different fonts/styles on this mural in Bushwick by artist MR NEVER SATISFIED. A sad owl peers out of the top left corner, while a flying fish adorns the center. Drips, stripes and other decorative elements complete the piece.

More signs New Yorkers are adamantly opposed to Cuomo as mayor. #adtakeover #arrtnyc #nocuomo #dreamfornyc
A poster in a NYC bus shelter with large, black, capital letters with pink accents reads NO CUOMO. In the distance 2 people are crossing the street. DON'T RANK CUOMO screams a poster in a NYC bus shelter. Smaller print reads HE SEXUALLY HARASSED 13 AND RESIGNED NO MORE CREEPS! An angry face with sharp teeth peers out of a NYC bus shelter with the words NO CROOKS NO CREEPS NO CUOMO! A man sits and waits for the bus while staring at his phone. NO MORE SEX CRIMINALS IN CHARGE! DON'T RANK CUOMO says an ad in a NYC bus shelter.

Timeline cleanse. #catcontent
A tuxedo cat - with black & white puzzle shapes on her face - stares up & out of a cardboard box into your soul. Her eyes are big black orbs with a small band of visible green. Long white whiskers explode in many directions.

Recently photographed a series of fun ad takeovers in Brooklyn by Artists Rapid Response Team (ARRT) NYC - all specifically encouraging voters not to rank Cuomo.
NYC bus shelter ad takeover reading NO CREEPS NO CUOMO over a set of creepy staring eyes underlined in bold red. Smaller letters at the bottom of the poster read WE DESERVE BETTER LEADERS DON'T RANK CUOMO. A young Black woman leans against a NYC bus shelter. An ad takeover poster behind her says OUR FUTURE HAS NO CREEPS NO CUOMO. Creepy eyes and a big red mark draw your attention. NYC bus shelter ad takeover poster reads DON'T RANK CUOMO NO MORE CREEPS. The original ad, with images of toenails infected with fungus, can be seen in the background. The artist pointed to one nasty looking toe and noted ACTUAL PICTURE OF HIS SOUL. A man stands in the bus shelter, oblivious to the work beside him. A quote attributed to Yoko Ono - CUOMO IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT - is written in big black letters on a white background. The poster is an ad takeover in a NYC bus shelter.

Pastel colored, miniature chocolate eggs and a pile of broken pretzels lay on a plaid blanket, desperately waiting to be consumed together.

The artist DROID907 recently sent me a photo of a freight car he painted. The slogan BEHIND EVERY FORTUNE IS A CRIME strikes me as quite appropriate for this era of oligarchs.
A photograph depicts a graffitied freight car painted with blue bubble letters that spell out BEHIND EVERY FORTUNE IS A CRIME. There is snow on the ground and a forest and mountains behind the train car.

Reading more books... cats, graffiti and fantasy novels keeping me sane atm.
An orange and white cat falls asleep on a sofa with black, white and red patterns. A green thermos to the right of the cat bears a sticker reading READ MOTHERFUCKING BOOKS! ALL DAMN DAY by the artist READMORE. Next to the thermos, there is a thick paperback copy of the 14th and final volume in the WHEEL OF TIME series.

Walked past this wall that reads EVERYTHINGS FUCKED today. Sums up my mood. Grim. Reminded
me to look back on the first time I shot this wall, when it was freshly painted in 2016. UFO 907 and DROID 907 with FLASH and DINK additions below. #nycgraffiti #photography
Graffiti off a rooftop in Brooklyn. On the left, an alien with flames shooting out of it's head, the name DROID and a squiggly tagline reading EVERYTHINGS FUCKED. The side of the building is clad with a yellowish siding. Faded graffiti off a rooftop in Brooklyn. On the left, an alien with flames shooting out of it's head, the name DROID and a squiggly tagline reading EVERYTHINGS FUCKED. Below that are bubble letters throwups by FLASH and DINK in two tones of blue outlined in white & black.

This HOUSE OF HADES tile, installed in lower Manhattan in 2021, is holding up to traffic nicely. #nycstreetart
A mosaic "toynbee tile" in red, yellow, white & grey, embedded into the asphalt on a NYC street. The tile reads HOH21. A pair of black clogs hover above the tile at the top of the frame.

JAS7 painted a number of these "hybrid" pieces around town, using a fire extinguisher or bugsprayer for the outline and spraypaint for the rest. #nycgraffiti #bestof2024
A large piece of graffiti can be seen on the left of a tan wall with a grid of blocks and shadows of streetlight. The red outline done with a messy fire extinguisher reads JAS7 and is filled in with white, pink and yellow spraypaint.

Despite the owner's best efforts to keep this legendary spot at the corner of Essex & Delancey clean, it was painted repeatedly throughout the year. Seen here: FALSE, ZERZ, TDUP, FLASH. #nycgraffiti #bestof2024
The exterior of the two story Essex Street Market is depicted, covered in graffiti. A red awning reading New Roma Pizza divides both halves. The top half is red brick with a large, black & blue FALSE burner. The gates on the bottom half are covered with pieces by ZERZ TDUP and FLASH.
