Poster Boy “Collaborates” with Tom Otterness

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

If you have ever been to the subway at 14th Street and 8th Avenue, you have surely seen the bizarre little creations of Tom Otterness. Over 100 bronze sculptures adorn the nooks and crannies of this station. One of these has been utilized by Poster Boy in his latest flickr post, entitled “Headlamp.”

The piece utilizes a figure from a Shakespeare in the Park ad that was in circulation over a year ago. For this reason, it loses some of its relevance; one of the great qualities of Poster Boy’s early work was its hyper-currency. However, it is still an interesting piece and a fine example of the new direction the artist’s work is taking.

Jim Joe Hits Chambers Street

Saturday, August 07th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

J is for Jim Joe! Yet another pin in Jim Joe’s subway map:  this tag was found on the J train platform at the Chambers Street station. There are only a few stations left on the J train (from Manhattan through several stops into Brooklyn) where we have not seen his work.

In case you have not read the story of Jim Joe, here it is: This is Jim Joe.

Update: Jim Joe has also hit up Bowery, another stop on the J train, within the past few days.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Find New Home

Take the B D F M or the N Q R turtlehead to the T.M.N.T. at 34th.

Seriously though: street art or bizarre guerilla marketing?

Service Change Paradox

Thursday, August 05th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

The D is not running, so take the F. The F is not running, so take the D.

How does this affect my trip? By fucking me over completely.

True story. Taken tonight on the downtown platform at 34th street by Tamara Head.

Heeb’s Subway Map for Jews

Wednesday, August 04th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

The concept of a Jew-friendly subway map is pretty funny, but this one has some questionable omissions. Maybe SAB commenters can help out Heeb. What would you add or change?
