Those graffiti murals in Bushwick are among the most vibrant anywhere. They also attest to graffiti’s continual evolution. And while so many “street artists” who grace our walls with wonderfully provocative images often retire from the streets, most of the writers keep on doing their thing in the public sphere. Here are a few images we saw this morning:

For the past few months I’ve been marveling at ND’A’s and OverUnder’s pieces that have been surfacing regularly in Bushwick and Williamsburg. I’m less familiar with Labrona’s work, though I loved what I saw of his in Carmichael Gallery’s “Re-Creation 2” at the Ogilvy Chocolate Factory last year.  Williamsburg’s Pandemic Gallery is currently featuring the work of all three artists.  The exhibit, PAPERBOYS, continues through Sunday, December 11^th and is definitely worth checking out if you are anywhere in the NYC vicinity. Here are a few of our favorite images:

Ranging from first-rate graffiti to folksy installations, the walls in Bushwick, Brooklyn are among the most intriguing anywhere. Here’s a sampling of what we saw today:

Two of Brooklyn’s most prolific muralists, Never and Cern, were captured at work this past week. We are looking forward to seeing the final pieces, but here’s a glimpse of the works in progress:

Three members of the Chicago-based IDC Arthouse Collective recently made their way to Bushwick where they’ve been busy at work on at least two murals.

3rdEye(SOL)ation, Bushwick’s newest urban art space, is the perfect setting to exhibit street art. The somewhat gritty neighborhood, the inviting site itself, along with the vibes of the folks who hang out there, make it the ideal fit.  When I stopped by earlier, most of the artwork for tonight’s  opening was already installed. Here’s a preview:
