Here are some pics from Art Around the Park which was part of this past weekends Howl Festival..I didn't see much of the fest..I was vending on Astor Place all weekend trying to hawk my wares...But I did go by Tompkins at night to view the canvases hanging along 7th street and down Avenue A..There's probably tons of these pics on flickr by now and all over other neighborhood blogs..but i'll post 'em anyway. I need to go out and take more pics this week..I have been consumed with learning the guitar and also with my MENSTRUAL RAGE this past week. Every month? What have I done to deserve this? Well, probably lots of stuff..har har!
The first pic of the spray painted girl is pretty amazing..I mean-how the hell did they do that? Damn! Then we see Ben Dover..I kinda liked that one I admit..Then a few random strange pieces..Then those weird sketches of the sunbathing girls..I sunbathe on the hill in the park a lot and people tell me I'm nuts to do this. Sure, I notice there are dudes with cameras and stuff on the benches checking out the gals in their bikinis..but when I'm surrounded by 12 other girls who look like models with their tops undone sunbathing also, I just don't really feel so uncomfortable..I really like tanning when it's hot out so I just lay there and strap on the headphones..I guess these drawings are of the girls on Mount Titty as it is called..or as I call it Booby Hill. Eh, the beach is so far away and Coney is so crowded and nasty..though I am sad that Coney may soon get turned into a Disneyland type hell. Ugh.
Then I really dig the toilet piece..I'm a big fan of toilets. I like to void urine in them as do many people. Though, those self cleaning ones they have in places outside of NYC kind of frighten me..What if you're stuck in there when its cleaning itself? What goes on in there exactly when those doors shut?..Could be the next Stephen King story!
The Lemmy silkscreen was cool..but what really excited me the most amongst all this creativity was the COOTIES game someone was selling a few weeks ago at the 9th st precinct BBQ against crime day..I mean-Cooties, the GAME!!! I always knew cooties were fun, but that game is REDUNKULOUS!
