French photographer Frederic Nauczyciel spent the last several years capturing a vogueing community in Baltimore and began to photograph them both in the studio and outdoors. When he returned to France, he managed to connect with similar scenes in Paris, producing a series of photos pairing the beauty of these underground cultures with the harsh surroundings where […]
Bartkira — a crowd-sourced reimagining of Katsuhiro Otomo’s “Akira” with the characters from Matt Groening’s The Simpsons — has reached its next stage of evolution. A year ago, it popped up as an ingeniously wacky Tumblr project by James Harvey and Ryan Humphrey. Since then, the project has exploded both online and IRL, with over 500 participating artists and recently, the project was shown at […]
Protestors gathered earlier today at Midtown’s Clinton Park Stable to stand up for a horse named Caesar, an asthma-stricken 22-year-old whose shady carriage driver falsified records by switching hoof identification and passed him off as a healthy 12-year-old buck. About 45 people showed up, holding NYCLASS and PETA banners. “The carriage industry has four stables,” Allie Feldman, Executive Director of […]
“Jobs are modern day slavery,” Pastor Brown told me at the annual May Day protest gathering in Union Square. Others suggested getting rid of NATO and promoting “psychoanalytic education.” There were socialists, secularists, anarchists, groups representing people of the Dominican Republic, Palestine, the Philippines and though it was very loud, the overarching message was clear: Raise […]
Last summer, graffiti artists put up dozens of tributes to their fallen brother-in-arms NEKST in Brooklyn. The legal walls, which stretch for blocks in a part of Williamsburg often mistaken for Bushwick, are periodically repainted and recently, a new crop of writers descended on Siegel and White Streets to showcase their skills. Check out the […]
We’ve always been revolted and fascinated with the dripping gunk caking the Bryant Park subway station. Why did Mayor Bloomberg, alleged champion of public health, allow the city’s transit system to double as a giant petri dish? How many other stations look like this? Is Mayor De Blasio going to do anything about this? Who knows, but […]
“Not everyone seems to realize that almost all of our imagery is completely hand drawn,” Brooklyn-based street art duo ASVP tell ANIMAL. “That’s something that is a real integral part of our work.” We stopped by their studio earlier today to talk to one half of ASVP and get a sneak peak of the art that […]
The Bowery station for the J/Z lines has been open for over a century, but since about 2004, a ghost-like set of platforms and tracks have been completely shuttered to the public. When graffiti started accumulating, the area was cordoned off with plywood, killing the chances of seeing even a glimpse of what was going […]
“Post No Bills” notices on construction sites are so ubiquitous in the city, they are largely ignored. But, individually, they’re sort of interesting in their variations of fonts, applications and the amount of vandalism they’re subjected to. I went around Manhattan — through 42nd Street in Midtown to Lafayette in NoHo and over through SoHo via Houston down to […]
The Upper East Side is home to some of New York’s most expensive real estate, and with the building of the Second Avenue Subway well underway, it’s no surprise there have been complaints. We’ve always thought it was unfounded whining, but the MTA subway expansion project has left the stretch from 66th to 74th Streets […]
