Photo Blog: "Everything But The Kitchen Sink" in Ozone Park!

Graffiti and art masters Jamie Hef and KA painted an amazingly detailed, two building mural in Ozone Park that was completed last week.  Entitled "Everything But The Kitchen Sink," there are so many details you'll need plenty of time to check it all out and will keep finding more to look at as you gaze the mega walls.  The piece starts to the left with Design markers and Krylon paints in the kitchen with all kinds of details taking you back an almost 1970's style kitchen.  Notice the lamp, cat clock and details through the window.... 
A giant "food fight" happens as you step into the kitchen and yes, you will see "everything but the kitchen sink" - all of the other appliances you use daily and countless iconic, memorable foods you used to eat and still probably do.  Note the specialty brands such as the Wonder bread, Campbell soups, Hostess cup cakes, hot sauce, Mrs. Butterworth's, and Spam and lurking and fighting.  The guys left nothing out, this food fight is iconic.  
Meat and vegetables at odds with each other...

This memorable graffiti/street art wall is located at 8902 Atlantic Avenue in Ozone Park. The Hostess cupcake you'll find on the roll down directly next to the wall, you can't miss it.  Enjoy!  (Eat first.)

Photoblog: True Graffiti from the U.K. Masters Trans1 & Noir!

Here we have a quick photo blog of incredible U.K. graffiti artists Trans1 and Noir as they were in the area earlier in June.   Here's a few shots of their walls in Bushwick, the first set at the Collective, one from JMZ Walls (that's most likely gone now), and a bunch from an exclusive shoot on the Tats Cru headquarters rooftop.  People rarely get up there so it was an honor to photograph the guys with Rafael Gonzalez without typical street distractions.  At the very bottom we stopped to see Wane at Welling Court and later that evening with YesOne at a gallery/pub spot.  
Looking forward to the guys visit next year already, incredible work, you'll agree....
