Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: North 7 Street
Amusing enough, next to this assemblage is a sign prohibiting material being left in front of the building.
They never thought to prohibit stuff being left ON said building.
So the learning curve goes in northside Williamsburg.

New York Shitty Day Ender: Urban Fur
The above gent with an overbite may not look familiar to you, but I am pretty certain you have heard about him. He is none other than the pooch who discovered Sidney Lumet’s Lifetime Achievement Award in a bit of Greenpoint shrubbery: Fred T. Sanford!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Pale Rider
When I hear the words “Pale Rider” I think of Clint Eastwood. I do not think of Volvos. Much less Volvos parked on Bedford Avenue. I suppose that’s Williamsburg for you.

FOUND: Tarpitter
Ever had one of those moments when you find yourself saying:
Awww, that’s really sweet!
This afternoon I had such a moment. At the behest of Bedford Avenue of all places.
I found this little critter outside of Spoonbill & Sugartown Booksellers.
Noticing he (?) was affixed with Velcro, I grabbed him. He now resides at Chez Shitty in beautiful Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Awww, that’s really sweet!
My curiousity aroused, I checked out the url inscribed on the back without delay. My find would appear to be part of a greater project by an artist in Great Britain. He (?) leaves these diminutive paintings— “Hiders” as he calls them— for people to find.
Thank you, Tarpitter critter-maker! Your serendipitous gift made my day. You can rest assured this little guy has found a very good home…
…on my desk next to the Mister’s vitamin supplements!

UPDATE, January 12, 2010: I made the peeps of Tarpitters aware of my find. They gave me some very nice props on their web site! Thanks again guys (and gals)!
LOST: Have You Seen Me?
This lovely cat (which was last seen at North 8 Street and Bedford Avenue) has been MIA for two weeks. If you have seen this polydactyl gal please call her person(s)* at the telephone number listed on the above flier. Thanks!
