Love this piece by Steve Lambert from his "LA Sign Series." Any long time reader of my blog knows New York City is my number one sweetheart, but I could really use an escape to a quiet beach where sand, ocean, and sky is available all day free of charge. What would be more perfect is if she was my vacation companion.
In a cross promotion supporting the Atlanta High Museum of Art's upcoming Dali exhibit, Delta Airlines gave one of their planes Dali's signature mustache.
In semi-related news: Do you know what Delta's acronym actually stands for? Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive. My mom taught me that one.

E.T. and Yoda heart one another as seen in this street art. I believe inter-planetary marriage is an inalienable alien right.
Don't turn your nose up at Swiss artist Comenius Roethlisberger's display of coked up luxury brands.

Joey Roth's "Charlatan, Martyr, Hustler." I would hang this in my imaginary corner office. 1,000 hand signed and numbered prints available for $25.
Shepard Fairey's "Moon Over Biloxi." He explains:
The title of this print “Moon Over Biloxi” is a tribute to the Dead Kennedy’s song “Moon Over Marin”. In 1984 I picked up maybe my 4th punk record which was the 2nd Dead Kennedy’s album “Plastic Surgery Disasters”. The album is a great listen all the way through and includes some blistering tunes like “Riot” and “Bleed For Me” laced with social commentary. The surprise song though is “Moon Over Marin”… detractors have called it the Dead Kennedy’s “U2″ song, but I disagree. “Moon Over Marin” is more melodic than most DK, but juxtaposed with the darkness of the lyrics, the song evokes a powerful sense of existential melancholy. I think the concept that struck me, and stuck with me, is that our disrespect of each other and the planet may doom us , but things will continue without us. I think it is healthy to recognize impermanence, but also to appreciate the value of the ephemeral. Moonlight, real or electric, will probably be around, but what it will be casting light on is the real question. There will always be a moon over Biloxi.
Buy it here.
Post no bills. Clever.
Nothing screams class like this inflatable fountain by Helmut Smits.
An improvement to a G train sign. I approve this message.

Hugh Brown's "Roy Lichtenstein (Why, Roy Darling, 1962)" is a nice little left hook. It made me chuckle.
Last week someone dicked around with Shepard Fairey's mural on Houston Street in the Lower East Side.
