Take a gander at this new Specter piece that went up on Park Avenue in Bed-Stuy yesterday. Specter tells us that "its basically about the under appreciated workforce that runs the city anyone from some guy collecting bottles and cans to someone who works in a warehouse moving boxes. This series and my latest piece also touch on the idea of disappearing industrial spaces when you see the piece it will drive the concept home."
If you want to see it in person, you might want to do it soon— apparently the building is going to be demolished shortly. [More about Specter at his website, and on Flickr.]

You say Specter like we would all immediately know who that is. Is it a one-name person, like Cher? I'm so old....
I logged in to post because I was thinking the same thing! As if we all immediately know who or what Specter is. Yeah, right. I think Gothamist likes to create its own "in crowd" so that we all think they're in the know and on the cutting edge, and we're a bunch of dweebs if we've never heard of him, her, or whatever. Looks like this is another one of the vandals so highly praised here. Pfft.
lol ^...true.
Yum, trollbait!
Jeez guys-- lighten up. We've covered Specter before, and if you didn't know who he is, you could click the LINK TO HIS WEBSITE.
^ Or you could NOT GIVE A FUCK because he's some hipster thinking people give a shit about his pseudo-intellectual take on the plight of the people-who-actually-DO-work-for-a-living and don't just sit around all day making prints telling people what to think.
Fuck you Jake. Pop your kid out and get it over with. Get the fuck off the street.
dude.. chill out
BTW, this is getting taken down way before that building does. Tell that fatty Becky Fuller to get it before we do. Laterz
early in the morning to be so cranky
OH, so you assume I read Gothamist every day and pore over every article? Um, no. Nor do I click on all the links you guys inlcude. I can't be glued to the computer all day.
It simply would have helped to clarify who the hell this schmuck is (and made good journalistic sense... oh wait).
Love love love new street art. Thanks for the heads up Jake!
"apparently the building is going to be demolished shortly." ...does anyone know what is planned to replace this building? [i can see this sign right outside from my window - i didnt even notice the Spector piece! good sighting! i'll be sure to check it out]
i hadn't heard of specter before seeing jakes links to him on streetsy. great stuff. glad you posted this :)
