yes, he is from minneapolis. for a while, he was painting these amazing fish in the same style. early on, he would wheat-paste drawings of these sort of eskimo-stick people. on the bus ride to work to do, i saw that he just hit up some stuff with straight-lettering which was also quite nice.also, i have to state the obvious, but does anyone that hates grafitti really think their one-dimensional arguments on here would actually change someone's mind?

The shit is stupid ! If you want to be a graf artist get a legal spot and use that . Do it legally stop & fucking up public property !

Artist may be from Memphis, note Mmphis in lower left of piece on right, 2d row. His work blows to me, but my tastes in graf run trad.

If you hate Gothamist so much why are you still reading and commenting? You people are so weird. I myself like the look. They remind me of Little Shop of Horror - with faces.

As for hating on street art and "reporting more on NYC," NYC is home to some of the best artists in the world, and a lot of them are into street art. And it's good shit. I'm no artist, nor do I know anything about graffiti, but I can appreciate a bad ass piece of art that I look forward to passing my daily commute. Then let him paint it on your car. Or your bike. Or in your living room if you own one.

Yes, Deuce Seven is a Minneapolite- there was a 27 piece on the side of my apt building here (Mpls) that made my day every time I saw it. I'm a huge fan!

#29 pedestrain: Schizophrenics and psychotics are two entirely different animals. Schizophrenia is someone who has disorganiszed thoughts, delusions, social issues, hallucinations, trouble with cognition etc. A psychotic is someone who has no conscience, and poor impulse control or manipulative behaviors. Predators are typically referred to as psychotic. They use charm, manipulation, intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their own selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret.[1] 1. Hare, Robert D, Psychopaths: New Trends in Research. The Harvard Mental Health Letter, September 1995

These remind me of the schizophrenic guy who painted cats. I wonder if the guy is psychotic.

you need to ease the fuck up on the post button, dumbass. now, why oh why has nobody made a "douche seven" joke?

Gothamist should only be about pandas, Law & Order, Google Maps mashups, and graffiti.

Yo people. Ya'll need to ease the fuck up on this guy and Gothamist for reporting street art. First of all, I ride over the Wburg bridge every day and this is the best piece I've seen in over a year. Someone is obviously going to tag there, so get over it. As for hating on street art and "reporting more on NYC," NYC is home to some of the best artists in the world, and a lot of them are into street art. And it's good shit. I'm no artist, nor do I know anything about graffiti, but I can appreciate a bad ass piece of art that I look forward to passing my daily commute. Ya'll need to relax and quit taking your anger out on a comment blog. what.

I agree with Dan: I think this is very awesome street art and would love it if it were on my building instead of the ugly tags we usually get... Alas, my landlord quickly gets rid of ugly and pretty street art alike (she had my super remove a fabulous Swoon cutout in record time).

The graffiti on the bridge plague changes semi-weekly. 27 did it a favor, that the best I've seen it look.

The graffiti on that bridge plaque changes about once a week. Deuce Seven did it a favor--that's the best I've ever seen it look.

i too find it annoying how much attention is given on this site to "street art". it really detracts from this being an otherwise good blog about nyc. make up your mind: is this a graffiti fanboy site, or a nyc blog?

Matthew

Certainly more interesting than tagging a name but defacing that bridge plaque is plain juvenile.

Why glamorize criminal defacement of public property? Tard.

I love trust funded out of town street art as much as the next guy, but I don't like this stuff. And on to put that on the bridge plaque, that's super lame. Go home noob.

Yet another "street art" post with 4 huge pictures. Post this shit on your own blog please.

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:49:13 -0500

he should go back to wherever he came from and cover it with his shitty art.

Dan

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:48:37 -0500

before all the graffiti haters pile on, i'd like to say that looks really awesome. i want that on my apt front door, not some assholes writing their name.

Now, did he HAVE to paint over that plaque on the Williamsburtg Bridge? Classy. www.forgotten-ny.com
