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.

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.

A RAD, Moustache Man Collaboration

Monday, July 26th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

It appears the two most active subway ad defacers we cover have collaborated on a piece. Intentional or not, RAD’s Lego head and Moustache Man’s cursive mustache are a match made in heaven.
