EL BARIO

Saturday, January 19, 2013.  What luck, for me and for countless others.  Art comes to you.  Art drives by.  Art parks next to your home.  I wonder if this was welcome by the owner of the vehicle, or some random act, which then the owner couldn't wash away. What a sight our streets would be if all panel trucks were covered with art that travelled around Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island.  Maybe it would even travel further afield and blanket the roadways, exporting vibrant color, text and imagery.

Saturday, December 15, 2012.  A familiar sign, known across the country, is transformed by weather and oxidation.  The sign has become something else, a softened version of its former self.  The solid bar in the middle looks like it might be soft to the touch, as if the admonition regarding your proposed action might not be so absolute.  Do you now dare to do what has been forbidden?
