ICY & SOT Decorate 5 Pointz!

As we all rally to Save 5 Points in Long Island City, steps from the 7 train and PS.1 MOMA the artists are coming out in big numbers each week/weekend to grace the walls and support the cause.  Artists and supporters are asking everyone in the area who enjoys this epic building to sign the petition making the building a landmark, you can read more at http://5ptz.com.  
As I exit the train and look to the left, the first thing I saw was ICY & SOT beginning another epic mural last weekend.  This one has only been done inside previously yet it went up rather quick, and looks flawless and perfect in detail as their work always does. The Iranian brothers (from Tabriz), that reside in Bushwick, have constructed murals in many corners of the world and are known on a grand, international level.  Their pieces are about love, hate, hope, despair to name a few, you can read a nice article on the brothers here: http://narrative.ly/the-spirit-of-storytelling/icy-sot-conquer-the-art-world/
