wELCOME TO mY bLOG
As the new art season gets going, I too am expanding and revitalizing my art, beginning with a revamp of my website and the addition of this blog. My intent in launching the blog is to jot down my observations on how the street art scene is changing, adapting, breaking out or, sadly in some cases, disappearing.
In New York City, for example, gentrification is wiping out many of my favorite graffiti and street art spots - the art that propelled the neighborhood into gentrification! The East Village in particular is losing the art vitality as is the Lower East Side. Many of my favorite streets (like Ludlow where I found "Big Foot") is almost totally "purged" of street art. I mourn the loss.
