I have been meaning to go and explore this part of New York that I often pass while on the 7 train heading into the city which has totally captured my attention for the sheer artistry displayed by what others would consider random vandalism. These works are anything by random nor vandalism, turning an otherwise gloomy area of Long Island City into a giant canvas.
Unfortunately, I can only upload 50 shots here on Friendster, but I’m looking at eventually uploading all the photos I have taken. Most of the shots were also taken with a higher resolution and hence not uploadable unless I resize the file compression, but I’m amazed at the work I’ve captured. Where possible and where I can figure out the signature of the artist, I have taken photos to give credit where credit is due. In most cases, it is not difficult to figure out which work is signed by which artist because of the distinct pallette of colors used in each work.
Enjoy!
