We spotted some new (to us) mosaic work from long time East Village staple Jim “the Mosaic Man” Power honoring the Grateful Dead and the long shuttered Fillmore East.
If you ever get a chance to watch Power in the act of putting up his public works of art in person, you’ll never forget it — he is one of a kind. And we’re happy to see that Power still out and about doing his thing.
If you have no idea who Jim Power is, or what some of his works are, definitely check out this video:
While it looks inane…
It COULD very well be a living robot hiding in plain sight! We see a head, a mouth, a nose, two eyes, hair, and a hat of some type in there. Do you?
Be careful out there.
We aren’t fans of fracking for natural gas. Neither are a lot of people, more specifically, neither is the person who created this work of art beneath the High Line in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.
Three bullet points from the above poster:
“Benzene kills brain cells”
“Run 4 ur lives we are being poisoned like rats buy Evian stock”
“How will u keep food & water clean? It’s too late run 4 ur lives”
What irks us about the fracking boosters who march out in support of fracking, is that they say that fracking has no bad side effects when done safely. Yet they fail to mention how terrible things become when the humans trying to frack safely screw up and poison the surrounding clean water supply — let alone how fracking safely also creates dangerous manmade earthquakes.
Governor Cuomo, please keep our water supply safe and NOT allow fracking in New York State. Thanks!
We’ve known a few women who were maneaters, and now we’ve come across something completely different — mediaeaters!
A mediaeater is simply going to chew you up, spit you out, and make you wish that you never turned on the television, or radio, or the internet, and have you whimpering for months — long after they’ve left you alone. Mediaeater!
A decade ago, when we used to perform stand-up, we did impressions of toast. There was white bread toast, cinnamon raisin bread toast, and the great french toast. That bit was a classic.
And this happy little toast graffiti reminded us of it. So, having most likely never seen impressions of various types of toast, try to wrap your head around it, be confused, and simply know that it got laughs.
