Previous Day :: Next Day

jeeff: very festive.

in response to hms belfast

jeeff: that reminds me, my room in tokyo cost $537.95 USD/mth.

in response to how much living space does 300 a month get you in the city?

jeeff: i'm just curious cuz sine's our "man on the scene". not all art is about converting cynics. i don't think james joyce's ulysses has won over too many of the masses, but it's still widely touted as the best novel of the 20th century. i've never managed to finish...

in response to Fuck Neck Face

ea: yep I was just talkin about the nametags in regard to the quoted article. too bad they're so much more notorious than anything else, it doesn't help spread the street art love or convert any cynics.

in response to Fuck Neck Face

iknowsanddobutyou'dneverguess: Have you seen more of his stuff than his tags? if you dont think his tags are art, see the rest of his work. he pushed boundaries in other ways. And yes, it's one person. OBEY is Shepherd Fairey's deal, but he gets help. He's an exception though. writers...

in response to Fuck Neck Face

ea: I notice you didnt ask for MY opinion....hehe but um working artists do have a reputation for taking themselves quite seriously. which I must venture to say Neckface does, if he thinks his giant block letters are "art" or pushing any boundaries. it looks to me like negligable creativity or...

in response to Fuck Neck Face

hilda: im sure with the right music on and actually being there, it mustve felt perfect quite hard to fully capture in photo :)

walter: reason #84576974396304 why i love brooklyn

in response to Leaving Brooklyn... Oy Vey!

jack: what ships? i dont see no ships.

in response to hms belfast

jack: yes, i got them mixed up. the tower, isn't that the place where all the people got locked up. basil rathbone once said, "take them to the tower", oh my, oh my.

in response to tower bridge pt1

jack: is'nt this the place where they locked up a lot of people and killed them there. i thought it fell down. is this london bridge. london bridge is falling down, falling down. wow great shot. i will use it as a screensaver, thanks.

in response to tower bridge pt2

jeff: i can understand why the super's mad at neckface - that's his livelihood. but "artist Peter Caine"? i can't imagine why a working artist couldn't at least see the playful side in neckface's work. especially going so far as to provide angry quotes for a newspaper article....

in response to Fuck Neck Face

Anonymous (pool-70-111-224-108.nwrk.east.verizon.net): yeah the neckface tag is everywhere. these are fucking awesome. thanks for sharing!

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

jeeff: cool! it's one of my favourite bits of japanese cultural trivia. i asked many japanese i met about it and most of them replied that yes, they had eaten katsu for good luck. usually their moms will make it for them.

in response to Katsu

Peter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Kat

in response to Katsu

Peter: btw: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4230471.stm www.kanai.net/weblog/archive/2005/06/16/14h21m48s and sort of odd, but fascinating: www.breaktown.com/dog/index.htm

in response to Katsu

Peter: wow. i just learned something! thanks jeeff :)

in response to Katsu

jeeff: katsu in japanese means 'cutlet'. for example, tonkatsu means 'pork cutlet'. also, serikatsu means 'to win after tough bidding' and is sometimes used to describe passing an exam or interview. tonkatsu is often eaten before an exam for good luck. kitkat (kito-katsu in japanese) also releases a green-coloured...

Scotsman: Hey guy's, these are photo's of St Petersburg and not Moscow, just thought you wanted to know.

in response to Sites of Moscow

Peter: ...and japan.

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

A Certain Individual: I've seen the "Neck Face" tag all over Williamsburg. (And also in the East Village.)

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

vz: heh.. i guess here they made sure they wouldn't have to go back and cross it out again for a very, very long time.

in response to march 2050

Peter: yep, thats definitely some pretty light! weve had similar light here in nyc lately... and its so golden just before dusk. i think it has to do with the angle of the earth's rotation and the changing of summer to fall...

in response to light fantastic

Peter: theres an escalator like that at the WTC PATH stop... it has a sign that originally said "this escalator will be back in service on 5/1/05"... the "5" has been crossed out, sequentially, every month and as of this morning, reads "10/1/05". needless to say, the escalator still isnt running. it...

steelisreal: hmmm the digilux, that is a nice camera i used to have a leica rangefinder. i love the quality, i hope my canon 20d will look as nice.

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

kp: LOL!

in response to march 2050

Anonymous (FAC44.facsmf.utexas.edu): I would love the robots, and I would love to live in a city with so much street art.

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

sine: a leica digilux d1

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

steelisreal: sine what camera did you take these with??

in response to Walking in Williamsburg 3

Peter: nice. very "urban decay".

in response to archaic

Peter: would you guys mind taking this "battle" somewhere else, like maybe via email or something? its sort of off-topic here, and i for one am sick of reading this shit every day. i mean, if you wanna talk graf, thats cool, but the insults and trash talking... are just annoying.

in response to Dallas Graffiti Like What!

steelisreal: lol these crap pictures have been viewed over 2500 times, that is funny. i just wanted to show the crowds around the cars and the security guards, maybe my title was a little bit off....

in response to gwen stefani's wedding

Jamie: The old lady of Soweto

in response to Soweto Market

Anonymous (sotn-cache-1.server.ntli.net): Its been ages since iv been there. Black and white photos make it look so much 'doomier' (?!) and is fitting with how old it is. coolage.

in response to tower of london

Jamie: A few of the silver "WAR" tags have been buffed. What a shame. I found this new one in an alleyway though. It appears to be a horsefaced young lady. nice. stay tuned for more developments in the horncastle street art saga

in response to The Extent of Graffiti

SpankyHam: Yeh reminds me of "final destination" - ""jaaakkkeeee!"" (i think that was his name)

M2!: battle at legal? hahahahahahahaha

in response to mcdonalds skyscrapers

Jess: purdy

in response to Signal Gasoline

Jess: Movie for you: The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal - It even takes place in Portland

in response to PDX graffiti like ummm...

Jess: I have to admit it took me a moment to realize what I was looking at. My brain kept trying to pick out an image (which incidently it chose to beleive it was seeing an otter). After I understood what was going on I REALLY like this. Very cool.

in response to love buff

Jess: That's what I figured it would be. Way to go on cheap advertising. You know people go in search just to find out what the image is all about.

in response to dead meter cap

Jess: I love that guy! He's definetly the coolest guy on the corner...
