OtherArtShop: Underpass Graffiti (2015)
This is another print to be listed as soon as I get my OtherArtShop up and running on Etsy. I painted the original 4×6″ in 2015 from one of the photos I took on the East Side of Manhattan in 1989. I was graffiti hunting at the time.

I painted the watercolor below from my reference photo, which I took with the aid of a tripod. The greenish tint […]
Imported Graffiti

Bargain Spot Graffiti
This photograph is from my archives. I took it in March of 1989 in Lower Manhattan. I don’t remember exactly where, but it is probably on the Lower East Side. To the best of my recollection, I took this picture on The Bowery. I like the ‘No Parking’ sign tilted at the same angle as […]
