This past 4th of July, while most folks were grilling in the park or flocking to the beach, I found myself face-to-face with a dinosaur in Midtown Manhattan. Not just any dinosaur—a Titanosaurus, towering over Rockefeller Center like it owned the place. It was a surreal, cinematic moment made even better by the rarest of gifts: a sunny, warm, non-humid summer day in NYC -a real unicorn, weather-wise.

If you’re heading to the Brooklyn Museum from Manhattan (or just looking for an unexpected adventure on your subway commute), make sure to get off the train one stop early at Grand Army Plaza (2 or 3 train) and pay a visit to Rex’s Dino Store — a wildly creative pop-up and public art installation that’s turning heads and raising smiles.
Because the artwork changes only once every eighteen months or so, I never feel too lazy when it takes me six months to visit the latest monumental piece of public art exhibited on the High Line Plinth.

The fourth High Line Plinth commission (I skipped covering the second one because it was so crappy), is by Colombian-born artist Iván Argote and it’s called Dinosaur (2024). Let’s take a closer look!

Wouldn’t it be fun to be the person who designs the coin-operated Kiddie Rides that you sometimes still see out front of suburban grocery stores and strip malls?

While looking through my archives of street art photography, I noticed a few random photos that have dicks in them. This seemed funny to me, and I was ‘hard up’ (pun intended) for an idea, so I decided to make a post out of street art with dicks in it. I’ll add more pics of dicks to the post as time goes on. Because, why not? There are more dicks out there waiting to be discovered; of this I am quite sure. I do not know the artist responsible for the banana-as-dick fetish-themed piece above (it might even be an ad), but when you’re feelin’ it, who gives a shit?
