Art Around The Park - 2013

Every year I say I'm going to participate in this event the next time it comes around -- and it always sneaks up on me. I'd have to have a plan to tackle such a huge canvas and in public view! Next year, seriously, next year.

Until then, here are a slew of photos I took last week during the short time the canvas was literally wrapped around Tompkins Square Park.

20. Nice, wish we still had those hulking checkers.

21. Nice portrait but wtf is going on with her chest? She has bone issues.

22.I know Chico is considered a local legend, but I find that he always captures a likeness with something just-a-little-bit-off. And not in a good way:

23. I think this one is my favorite:
