I came upon this scene behind Grand Central Station. It was in the vicinity of my favorite newsstand. There was construction ongoing at the time, which I cropped out of this sketch. I think the stenciled tiles or graffiti was on a temporary surface although I don’t fully recall. I do remember that the staircase was blocked. I love the old fashioned, riveted and patinated girders with the art spiral design of the ironwork.

A 4×6 print, matted for a 5×7 frame, Stencil Graffiti is available at my Etsy shop: OtherArtbyJack.
