Alphabet City - Out On The Streets

As many can tell, sometimes Gothamist doesn't have the greatest grasp on the ABC's. Luckily, there is Michael DeFeo's children's book, Alphabet City, which teaches kids (and bloggers) how to recognize words, using DeFeo's street art. DeFeo pasted drawings of different objects, like ladders or tomatoes, onto the walls of NYC buildings and photographed them. What's pretty is awesmoe is that DeFeo, a street artist and high school fine arts teacher, has a map of where the artwork hangs! The book is available for purchase at various locations in NYC, including the New Museum where DeFeo will have a show in January.

Look at Michael DeFeo's own site. And Bluejake's moblog is mainly about street art.
