Yesterday I took a walk from Tibeca up to Union Square, and took a ton of photos along the way. One of the things that was persistent throughout Tribeca and Soho was this constant street art graffiti…
Sure, Rod Stuart Loves the Hamptons…
I don’t know who is doing this semi ironic/wannabe hip campaign, but I have known a few people who have tried to do such public graffiti in the past…and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that all of these tags are the work of a 50 something year old coke addict who gets a giant kick out of thinking of the expression that people will have on their faces when they see the “art”.
I see this alot too. I always thought it was kind of funny that whatever 50 year old coke head is behind this seems to target the snobbier areas of NYC. I can’t decide if it’s poking fun at the yuppies, street-art in general, or both. Either way, I must say it’s different and the first time that graffiti has really stood out to me. Graffiti for rich people…
