Catching Up On NYC Coolness - Street Art That Makes Our City The Most Colorful In The World!

Catching up on my NY Coolness photos from the past month or two...for whatever reason I didn't post them with other stories, or maybe I did?  Regardless, there are a few things worth seeing....  My "Images of the Week" section will be coming soon where I will post/archive all the simply-cool NYC street sites - and you know me, most will be street art related!  

One of my favorites, Russell King....if you live in the city, you've seen these.

Simon De Pury & Bill Powers, (the back of him) or you can go to Half Gallery to see Bill.  When does Bravo's Work Of Art begin?!  Anyone? 

I love all things Bowie. Everything.

A must have umbrella....

NYC mailboxes and poles, and of course doors, are just much better than any other city. Imagine living in a city with no color on the sidewalks, oh wait, that would be Atlanta, or anywhere in the south. Yikes.

Lower east side restaurant reflection...(above)

Both above in Soho...

Now over to the High Line....JR of course (below)

...and via Instagram

Highline flowers....

JR in Soho above, yep, it's still there!

And you couldn't have been to West Chelsea or the High Line without seeing this masterpeice!

 Now to the LE.S. / E. Village for "Saints of the Lower East Side," you need to go by and see this on East 1st, I think...Joey Ramone front and center as he should be!

I love Miyok, the pill guy below, so very much, and also this other art/museum couple who is all over, who is this? 

Yes, our doors are the best in the country....crazy vs. simple (The Love Child) and more below....

This is perhaps one of my favorite recent doors, or maybe the pic just came out that good?

Easier said than done buddy.  

A.S.V.P here, head to Hendershot Gallery for more!

I'm NOT into the celebrity BS so I love this.

I may have to make a print out of this one.....

More NYC Coolness on the way,

 in NY you see "cool" everyday.

Artists Of All Mediums At One Table: YOU! Zine Workshop at The Hole Gallery - Your Art, Your Friends Art....

It was another hot sticky, summer day in NYC but what made this more bearable is well, art!  The Hole Gallery on Bowery was the place for artists, street artists, crafters (and those who just like to create), as Lucky You Collective & New York Art Department presented YOU!  The event was a collaborative zine project featuring works by the artists below on the poster and many, many more.  Other artists and passer-by's stopped in to create a page (or two, or three),  for the Zine and if their work is chosen, would be published in a book to be shown at the Gallery.  It will be a couple months before the book is finished but organizer Carmen Hall, (below), of Lucky You Collective will keep us posted for the big event. Have a look at the Sunday afternoon artists in action and see a few sample pieces below...

Organizer, Carmen Hall

We chose from these supplies....

...and started making this....

Of course you need good music to make art...

The crowd grows.....

Here are my little pieces, above and below...I fussed with the top ones forever and the bottom was done in minutes. Of course that one seems better. It was a challenge for this mixed media artist to create with no paint, or spray paint...that would have been a crazy scene, they stuck to non-messy mediums.

My friend, Aimee Becker's piece...

Loving the art/fashion mix here...artist unknown

Have you seen this street artists work around town?!

Good times....For more info visit: http://www.luckyoucollective.com/ and follow them to participate in, or view their next big event!
