Airplaning

Directly under the LaGuardia flight path, water wings and snow clings to a rooftop in Brooklyn. And no painting is complete without building a Trembling Tower of Just-A-Lil-Bit-Higher.

One of my favorites of this month is this I.O.U. wheatpaste. I'm posting it now because it fits the day and the drama unfolding.

But Seriously...

New // Over Under Mural

Just finished this mural for Jeremy of BushwickBk. What seemed like it would only take a few days took almost a month as more and more people from the neighborhood came by to get their portrait added and chit chat. It was very Jane Jacobs-like hanging out their and getting to know the neighborhodd through and through. I'm really going to miss them now that it's done.

Mural on the way

I got an email a little while ago from someone who wants a mural on their house. It's a cool place just down the street from me in Bushwick and the guy works for a neighborhood blog called bushwickbk. More to come when I get back...

Mural in Bushwick w/Brokencrow

I was so caught up with my favorite people in the world that I didn't have 2 seconds to chill out and put a link of the mural we finished. Done in a mad-dashing 2 day period, Brokencrow and I cranked out this 20' x 80' wall for the Brooklyn Garment Washing Co. and our neighbors near the Jefferson L stop. Hopefully just the beginning...

Recyclers of Brooklyn

There are three kinds of nomads.

• hunter-gatherers
• pastoral nomads
• peripatetic nomads

Peripatetics were members of a school of Philosophy in ancient Greece. Their teachings derived from their founder, Aristotle and Peripatetic is a name given to his followers.
The term means “the ones walking about” which may be derived from the public walk at the Lyceum in Athens which Aristotle and his disciples frequently took when philosophizing.
Aristotle founded the Peripatetic school in 335 BC when he first opened his philosophical school in Lyceum.
According to some writers, the Peripatetics were not in fact the direct followers of Plato or Aristotle, but rather a set of admirers perpetually following the philosophers and their students in their daily walk. Such accounts also suggest that sometimes these “followers” wer known for their use of drink and unruly behavior.

Nomadism is unique to industrialized nations
