Coney Island Baby

So if anyone knows anything about the artist Dain, please comment. That's another of his pieces. I just read that he is a graffiti artist from Coney Island, who was apparently making the scene more in the '80s. I suppose using images of Bruce Lee is somewhat generic, but I'm more into the fact that he's from Coney Island, home turf of the Warriors, the World Championship Hot Dog eating contest, and that fake palm tree shower.

Blackberry photography

A street artist named Dain has been pasting up doctored pictures of dead Hollywood actresses around New York City. I caught this image in Soho a few nights ago, right after I walked passed a trucker-hat-wearing Benicio del Toro chilling in front of the Mercer Hotel. Anyway, I don't know much about Dain, aside from that he showed at Espeis Outside in Williamsburg recently and that he seems to have a slight Andy Warhol complex, but I like that he's down with Anna May Wong.



Here's some 3-D art I saw while biking around Red Hook the other day. (I used to despise going to Ikea, but now that they have the free water taxi, it's up there in my top 10. Sorta like how I used to hate the idea of owning a Blackberry.)

And here are a couple more cool things I've seen over the summer, one just near my house, the other in SF, respectively.

Some people think they've seen birds before...



...while others think they've seen hairy dogs.
