Shitter Island – Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCrapio team up as a pair of U.S. Marshals who travel to a secluded island off the coast of Massachusetts to search for the perfect place to drop a deuce, uncovering a web of deception along the way as they battle the calls of nature and a prison riot in this Martin Scorsese-helmed poo picture.

The day after I spotted our last wet paint mashup at Essex Street, this one popped up. Many props to the imaginative wordsmith that came up with these (I’m convinced it was the same person). Keep them coming!

If you’ve been around Manhattan recently you have likely seen his work. Taggings by Jim Joe have been springing up all over. I took these just yesterday at the Essex Street station on the JMZ line. Apparently, he has a website: JIM JOE.

Photo Essay: Graffiti Bomb on the J Line

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

I woke up to some wet tags this morning at the Kosciuszko Street stop on the J train. Lo and behold, I ran into the same tag again at the end of my day at the Myrtle Avenue station. It’s some of the most interesting, freshest subway graffiti I’ve seen in a while and I believe it is well worth sharing. Besides, the commentary on Valentine’s Day is pretty funny. Check out the rest of the photos bellow.

Update: The tags are already gone. I spotted this MTA worker painting the walls this morning. The writer’s tag appears to be BAK.
