Hijiri — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 20:36:16 +0000

Found awesome black and white art on the side of the stairs on Washington Street. This is from DUMBO Arts Festival, I love when they keep some arts on the streets :)

Hope you all had a nice weekend! Another weekend has passed without our baby… soon, I hope! xo Hijiri

Found Art: Front Street Mural

Hijiri — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 12:24:46 +0000

On Front street just under the Manhattan Bridge. New mural called “Intersection” by the team of Brooklyn artists Heidy Garay, Mikell Fine Isles and Sam Vernon.

It’s nice to have new art on the street, makes ordinary walk a little bit more special :)

Found Art: DUMBO

Hijiri — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:05:04 +0000

On my block in DUMBO, I started seeing these series of art — made me look! I especially love the “Fried Chicken” below. Not sure who’s behind these, but it keeps popping up here and there…

Hope you all had a great weekend! xo Hijiri

Knitted Bicycle in DUMBO

Hijiri — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 13:00:32 +0000

Last summer, I found the knitted bicycle in Lower East side… and another one is in DUMBO right now! On York street near Front street. (These pictures were taken 1.5 weeks ago, it was still there this weekend)

After the post last year, my friend Hine saw it and she found the artist: it is done by olek — if you look at the website, you see so many knitted stuff, it is so amazing to look at all her work! If you ever found a knitted bicycle or something else like this, then it is olek.

DUMBO Arts Festival 2010

Hijiri — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:36:38 +0000

Found lots of arts as you can imagine throughout DUMBO Arts Festival last weekend, I loved every second of it everyday!

I think this might be my favorite work — chalk board + chalk line drawing of DUMBO (I think). The old brick building as a background is just perfect.

We happened to walk by when artists were working on this work…

and it was done by the weekend:

That’s a lot of work! Well done :)

Saw lots of artists working on a piece on the street…

and there was lots of live music everywhere, too… (these guys were awesome!)

Strong message with strong visuals…

The flag and the Brooklyn Bridge:

More will follow! :)

Found Art: High Line

Hijiri — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:00:12 +0000

You can find a few art at the High Line (oh, I love it there), this is a billboard art you see from up there that caught my eye. When I see a billboard, I think of advertising because I was in advertising industry for a long time and that’s what we did — place an ad on the billboard. So I was a bit confused when I first saw this because there was no logo for anything…?!

and then, there was a title and description:

Very interesting… and deep… (I know it’s a bit small, but I hope you can read it)

I just love that you can find art literally everywhere in this city!

Knitted Bicycle

I was walking around Lower East Side over the weekend and look what I found… A knitted bicycle! or a bicycle covered with bike sweater. It definitely caught my eye. How crazy! You never know what you’d find in the city… and I love it :)

(and it was 96 degrees out.)

Found Art: York & Pearl Streets

Hijiri — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:35:32 +0000

At the corner of York Street and Pearl Street right underneath the Manhattan Bridge, there is a steel construction fence with lots of cute flowers.

Made me look every time I pass by there, finally took some pictures…

There are silver ones and there are gold ones — aren’t they so cute and lovely?

I love these things that make street more beautiful. Happy Friday!

Found Art: Vinegar Hill

Hijiri — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:03:17 +0000

How was your weekend, everyone?! I hope you had a nice one…

Our block is also a part of Vinegar Hill and as we were walking around the neighborhood this weekend (there was a cute flea market, I’ll post about it soon), I found couple art on the street wall…

Brooklyn Beef — I like this :)

Dalai Lama spray painting:

May your another new week be filled with art and creativity!

Found Art: Dachshund at Ikea

Hijiri — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:50:29 +0000

This week is all about packing and moving (the big move is tomorrow! Wish us luck!) and Ikea trip… and look what I found at the furniture pick up waiting area — dachshunds :) ((OK, not so much the 3rd one with the striped body)) The tails are wagging, too, the happy ones! Made me smile :)

Speaking of dachshund… Maia is ready to move! (we are so not ready, though)

Have a lovely day, everyone! I’ll be packing all day… see you tomorrow morning :)
