"Culture and corruption"

I traveled all over Bushwick, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg today.






I changed the name and the look a little. Medical Owl is too narrow a term. I also had to have a label, so I experimented with making some rubber stamps by hand. I noticed some wheatpasters use a library stamp to show day and date. Clever! But that is one more thing to worry about when you're trying to put it up really fast. There is also a reason that street art is usually in one place.


It means:
1. The building owner does not care or likes it
2. It is something like a phone pole or a USPS item... the City of New York and the Fire Dept are QUICK to remove anything on a pump or street lamp or a Do not walk Box.
3. It is probably in a good place with visibility of who is coming, dark at night, no cameras, and little population (at least at night).....

Sticking to artist enclaves and industrial wastelands (beautiful forests of the urban landscape...soon we will have a industrial section of Greenpoint picnic at night...like being in the forest but surrounded by neon and concrete....)



Here is a taste of the next woodcut carving, in very early form. (first print run... she needs lots of tweaks. "I should think the novelty of the emotion must have given you
a thrill of real pleasure, Dorian," She was just having the best day of her life. Now she can't leave the house. Typical.




She may go nicely with a syringe or something else.

"Culture and corruption," echoed Dorian. "I have known something of both.
It seems terrible to me now that they should ever be found together. "
