This cool Koi Fish stencil art is one of the better-known images in the oeuvre of California-based Street Artist/Activist Jeremy Novy. There was a larger Koi Fish piece in Freeman Alley a while back but it got obliterated by foot-traffic before I had the chance to see it, so it was a nice surprise to find this when I was walking home from Pearl River Mart this past November. See more of Novy’s art by following him on Instagram.

Do you suppose that the anonymous artist of this Pink Sidewalk Stencil intended their message to be interpreted as a take on a Post No Guns sign, or a warning to refrain from discarding used wads of gum on the path? The Google had no answers. Spotted on the sidewalk at Avenue A near 11th Street.

My guess is that the piece is called Looking For Any Job, as the man’s sign suggests. Continue reading Let’s Play: Is It A Banksy?

Shepard Fairey’s Obey Lotus Flower Stencil Lives On!

Shepard Fairey Obey Lotus

Fives years is forever in the life of a piece of NYC Street Art, but Shepard Fairey’s Obey Lotus Flower Stencil, which first went up at the end of June in 2011, is still loud and proud on the southern façade of 213 Bowery, at the corner of Rivington. I passed by it over the weekend and it looks darn good for its age.

Here’s a view of that corner from the traffic island in the middle of Bowery. And doesn’t This look familiar?
