Eve Bites the Apple

Posted on May 16, 2011 in Field Trips

There's nothing like a trip to New York City to recharge the creative muse. Walking the streets, riding the subway, visiting the museums—all are pulsing with energy, humanity and creativity. I am always amazed at the street art: pasted, plastered, stenciled, for free, and vulnerable to the elements of time and other graffiti artists.

A delightful enigma, bold street art and an urban collage.

The skull phone.

Why can't we have surprises like this in our Metro system?

By Andy Warhol, when he was a darn good graphic designer, or "commercial artist".

Only New York City can get away with a posh shop called "Acne". It sure caught
my attention, but not enough to shop.
