Wooster Collective is covering this pretty well, but I thought I’d throw out a quick mention of Dan Witz’s latest project, Ugly New Buildings. The project is a reaction to the gentrification of the New York neighborhood that he occupies, where beautiful, old buildings being torn down to be replaced with modern monstrosities. Using re-painted photo stickers Witz gives a new twist to the Kilroy graffiti that used to be so pervasive. There really is no better street artist than Dan Witz. He involves the environment so seamlessly in his work to magnify his statement, and his photo-realistic style is flawless. See what the King of Street Art thinks of New New York.
