a part of the urban experience that i love is that art is everywhere. it appears in architecture, chalk drawings on the side walk, a t-shirt or even a brick wall. While I am glad that the nyc subway tagging is gone - i am glad that harlem offers me tons of inspiration that i bring to my digital work. sometimes i imagine placing minimal gui over the art to make it interactive. while i understand that graffiti is controversial - i find it inspiring. i can experience the passion of artists on the street. it is very much a part of the landscape of the neighborhood and reflective of the budding artist who thrive here.
enjoy a few of my favorites from around the world.
if you are in nyc and want to view the taggers play house take the 7 train and look north as you emerge from the depths of the east river into queens. i encourage you to check it out the next time you are on your way to see the mets kick some ass.
