Beasting!

I've never really come across any construction graffiti that I really considered cute, but this certainly comes close.


Of course, cute is completely undone by the nuanced reference to the sadistic British Military "Character Building" which shares the same moniker the little guy on the right seems excited about.

That, in essence is construction graffiti.

Speaking of awesome profiles...

New York's newest supervillain overseeing the destruction of the Barclay's Arena holdout Daniel Goldstein's building.

From Curbed : "There's even a picture of Prokhorov taking in the destruction, which in no way is the behavior of a super villain. Afterwards, Prokhorov went to Peter Luger to feast on porterhouse. Opulence: He has it."



Much like one of my favourite supervillains...



"Definition "super-villain": a killer who love children
One who is well-skilled in destruction, as well as building" - Doomsday

Shadow Graffiti

Great shadow graffiti. This HAS to be Bono. Who else could be wearing sunglasses in a secretive studio with Bono's profile on Hester street last night?

Gadhafi Graffiti Continued!

Gaddafi "Monkeys of Africa, Barbed wire Hair, who are you?"



"Hey Gadhafi, for Libya, it is either you or US!"



Qaddafi: "Go Ahead!"



"Gathafi," "Kadafi," and "Gadafy,": "I should have distributed the wealth to the people"







Wait, how many ways can you spell this man's name? Thanks ABC for compiling the list!

On the ROCKS

Prospect Park West, in Park Slope?! GET REAL! This poor bastard visiting from California lost his rims last night! I guess even moving to San Francisco won't get you out of your responsibilities at the Co-Op!

The yuppie mafia strikes again, Heirloom Rocks rather than Cinder Blocks! We're going to see someone's MacLaren Stroller rolling on 20's next week!

Sartorialist/ Bret Easton Ellis Graffiti

Woah Scott! Your advice is sounding awful familiar this week! It's not the same advice, but the didactic tone about BOLDS sounds very similar!



"The choice of color is extremely important. Because of the shirt's boldness, if you make the wrong choice, everyone will notice. To be honest, I can't really imagine a loud purple shirt looking good on anyone.

Along those same lines, I think it would also be a mistake to try and match a boldly colored shirt with an equally bold patterned suit. We'll see how this emerging trend plays out, but let's watch this with a very cautious eye. "



“ Now, John. . .” I clear my throat. “You’ve got to wear clothes in proportion to your physique,” I begin, talking to nobody. “There are definite dos and don’ts, good buddy of wearing a bold-striped shirt. A bold-striped shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties. . . . “

Thanks for the screen shot, TIC

Italian Butcher Graffiti

My chef friend NC just came back from an amazing trip to Italy and looking through his photos literally just made me drool into my coffee this morning. Check out the butcher graffiti!

Iron Mike, never stop talking.

This guy IS construction graffiti. Everything he says is lifted right off of a jobsite wall. Everything he does is so amazing you want to photograph it. He's even got graffiti on his face!

"My life is like a tornado, a fucking hurricane. It's like I'm a naked tornado that comes through a city and there's just so much wreckage."

Details, thank you for this Gem.

Snoglobes?

Usually, I take pictures of worker's renditions of "snowglobes" on the wall, but couldn't pass this sign up! Who knew this was the latest terrorism weapon? Guess Osama has been taking notes from Richard Gere's playbook!

Schooltime graffiti

Really? Has this bus never heard the expression? I bet they've labeled a "short" bus as well.
