I was in Fort Greene over the weekend and found this. I’ve seen his art everywhere in Brooklyn, another eye-catching one here. It was snowing then, it was snowing last night… where is our spring?!

Found Art: The Treemendous Project
I found this last year by the NYU, finally getting around to posting about it… The Treemendous Project: Mending the city one tree at a time. It was placed on the stump that the Hurricane Sandy took down. I guess there are more throughout the city and 15 artists are participating. Oh, how interesting and great! Their website has more information and a map of where you can find one.
Dear Hurricane Sandy,
We understand you were mad, so you flooded our city and knocked down a lot of homes, taking a few trees along with you. Â Well, actually a lot of trees.
So, a bunch of us decided to fix that. We’ve installed artworks at those broken or barren sites in memory of the life that used to be.
As they say: “If a tree falls…â€
We’re saying that we heard it, and we’re doing something about it.
I want to go find them all now.
Bright…
I was really shocked to see that the Water street mural was painted over in black with just the word “bright” the other day… I passed by this wall almost everyday for the past 3 years, saw many many photo/video shoots and it was one of my favorite spots in DUMBO…
Dumbo NYC blog has an interesting article about this and a note from CAM the artist… I guess it was time… but I miss it!
My Ideal Bookshelf
These photos were taken last December when the Powerhouse Arena was having an exhibition for the book called “My Ideal Bookshelf“. After posting some photos last week from PA, I remembered that I hadn’t posted these here… It was really interesting and awesome to look at all the art from the book.
Original paintings by artist Jane Mount showcase the selections, with colorful, hand-lettered book spines and occasional objets d’art from the contributors’ personal bookshelves. 
It’s a perfect coffee table book, too, if you are looking for one.
