street art

it used to be every few months i would masking tape up a slew of my images across eldridge street. i haven't done it in a year since the cpclc (sic?) started their campaign of graffiti removal and cleanup around chinatown. generally a good proposition but puts a damper on my street art profession.

i still have one image up, somewhere between rivington and delancey street. i always said when that image comes down i will start putting images up again.

i may start again this week

today i met a the street artist matt siren he was at one of my local galleries. he's about my age, wife and kids and all. its always fascinating to me meet artist who do it for a living, supporting a family.

he recently put up two pieces a block up from me. probably has something to do with why he was in the hood. anyway, i couldn't resist, i lent him a ski mask and took a portraits of him i front of his work.
