Tompkins Square Park hosted the annual HOWL Festival this past weekend, featuring my personal favorite event: Art Around the Park.
Coming down Avenue A, you catch your first glimpse of the huge stretches of canvas wrapping around the park fence, local artists at work ......
I snapped a few of the most interesting pieces.......
Family portrait? I like this one........
Plenty of abstraction.......
This appears to be the corner just opposite the painting, 9th Street at Avenue A ..........
Haiti Rising -- luminous!
A lizard, just because.
Saw quite a few of Alan Ginsburg, of course, the inspiration for the Howl Festival.
The occasional political piece....tho' I'm not quite certain what the point is of this one.........
American Gothic redux.
The ubiquitous Chico, whose spray-painted murals are all over the LES....
Looks like Chico had 3 more panels, Madonna and, um, J-Lo?
After J-Lo, who? Christina Aguilera? Not sure ..............
Nobody puts Alan in the corner.
Every year I say, "Next year, I'll do it." AARTP is usually held at the end of summer so it kinda crept up on me this year -- next year for sure!
