Hungry Sharks and other creatures of the sea do battle with household trash and discarded product packaging in this colorful and compelling mural by artist Alexandra Evans, which I discovered on my most recent trip to First Street Green Art Park — where it seems there is always something cool and new. The mural is meant to draw attention to the now-crisis-level of non-recyclable trash that is finding its way into our oceans and killing fish and birds. Save the oceans!

Skulls and Tanks: they go together! Graffiti artist K-NOR created this exciting and proactive mural, which may or may not be called Dandelions (check out the mouth of the tank gun) for the Wasteland-themed show at First Street Green Art Park. This piece is on the south side of the park facing Houston Street! See if before it’s history!

Portland-based street artist MC Monster travelled all the way to NYC to put up this epic fantasy mural depicting the mysterious yet peaceful confrontation between a Wizard in a Moon-shaped boat and what is either a Dinosaur, or the Loch Ness Monster. To say that this tranquil scene encourages imaginative extrapolation is an understatement. The mural went up in November of 2018 at the First Street Green Art Park (located at 33 East 1st Street, NYC), and those murals tend to change every three or four months, so don’t wait too long to go check it out!
Update: As of March 16, 2019 this mural has been painted over.Â
