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
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
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
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!
