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.

Graffiti Legend Eric Haze Relaunches Website
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 | Author: Jowy
Illustrious graffiti artist and fellow New Yorker, Eric Haze has just released a new website featuring artwork spanning nearly 30 years of his career. The “Roots” section is of particular interest to us as it includes an entire subsection of his early subway graffiti works. It is truly a blast from the past seeing all of these old school trains, outfitted in intricate, large-scale graffiti.
Check out additional subway graffiti and troves more of Haze’s work at Interhaze. more…

Happy Birthday Subway Art Blog!
Tuesday, October 06th, 2009 | Author: Jowy
The Subway Art Blog turns one today. It’s been a crazy awesome year. The site started as a place for me to post my stupid cell phone photos and it seems to be starting to flourish as a hub for subway art on the web. Thanks to everyone who has contributed and has taken an interest in this project!

Locals vs Hipsters
Saturday, September 19th, 2009 | Author: Jowy
I’m not sure who has the time to make a rubber stamp to point out the savagery of “smacking your gum on the subway,” but apparently one Willamsburg local has a pretty good idea. The hipster inundation is understandably frustrating, especially when you can’t read a subway service advisory without seeing some “witty” hipsteresque wordplay. Spotted on the J train platform at Marcy Ave.

The Underground has Class
Wednesday, August 05th, 2009 | Author: Jowy
We ran into subway artist Edwin Class on the L platform at Union Square. Armed with a can as his brush and the subway map as his canvas, Mr. Class created a series of stencil/graffiti illustrations, which he was displaying underground.

Sentiment on the Wall

I’m still trying to figure out how this makes me feel, aside from scared for baby of course. I’ll leave it up to your interpretation.
