If you walked past 118 Mulberry Street (where Umberto’s Clam House is located) over the weekend, you might have noticed this creation, “Christmasaurus,” from Philly street artist NoseGo. It was part of a larger collaboration between the Little Italy Merchants’ Association and the Little Italy Street Art Project. But the mural did not last long. It’s now been crudely painted over.

It’s the latest project from MaNY and Fourth Arts Block (FAB). Photographer Tim Schreier stopped by, as Faith47 was working on the mural, titled, “The Weight of Air.” It’s part of an ongoing series curated by FAB’s Keith Schweitzer focused on creating temporary installations “in atypical locations” throughout the Lower East Side. Meanwhile, street artist Dal, Faith 47′s husband, was working on a project of his own yesterday outside the Rag and Bone store at Bowery and Elizabeth Street. Click through for more a couple more photos. Continue reading Faith47 Creates New Mural on East 2nd Street
 Brooklyn-based street artist Never works on the walls of the Timeshare Backyard on Ludlow Street. Photo by Tim Schreier. As we noted last week, the Timeshare Backyard at 145 Ludlow Street is back for a second summer, and it celebrated the start of its season with some fresh coats of paint last Friday. The grassy lot between Orchard and Rivington streets welcomed the public to watch four street artists go to work on the brick walls surrounding the yard, already home to some distinctive graffiti. “We tried to be really respectful of what was there,” said Jessica Resler, one of the founders of the Participation Agency, the group that runs the Backyard. “There’s definitely a lot that’s existing. But it’s great that a lot of people got to see this street art being made. People were saying, ‘It’s amazing someone can do that with a paint can.’” Continue reading Timeshare Backyard Gets New Look for New Season
You’ve probably noticed the new wheat-paste mural adorning the facade of 133 Essex Street, formerly the home of the rowdy (and defunct) bar, Mason Dixon. It’s the work of the semi-anonymous street artist JR, who’s the recipient of the prestigious 2011 TED Prize. The image is part of Inside Out, JR’s ambitious international project meant to “transform messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work.” In the past few days, JR uploaded a trailer to YouTube explaining what Inside Out is all about: Continue reading Essex Street Mural Part of Global, Participatory Project
