Kickity Kick




August 24. I was first drawn to this because it was on the side of a Verizon service trailer. It could have been created anywhere in the 5 boroughs and gets a new venue every time it is hitched up and towed around. Then kickity kick reminded me of a time when I was wearing cowboy boots and descending into the subway. Some kid, coming out of the subway with his pals, commented on me wearing hilly billy boots in Manhattan. Tonight I am drawn to the assertiveness of the lines – the first and the last marks especially – solid, assured, no hesitation in the sweep of the marker.
