In this day and age, its really hard to pull of the graffiti dick with any grace or style anymore. Its just been done so many times, how can we really keep the graffiti dick fresh, and relevant? Its no easy task, but the artist here shows real restraint, a sensitivity for placement, and excellent choice in poster to don the phallus.

Overall, a great graffiti dick.

It’s been a ridiculous past week, work has been break neck speed. I won’t get into yesterdays 16 hour day, but I recently finished up a project doing some awfully mediocre work for big tobacco. Despite the hellish client demands, It was great getting a chance to work with Graham Elliot and Pantelis Nikolaides on the project, two tremendously talented guys. Graham is pictured above at the height of our client induced mania.

I should also remind you all that she is a vegan.

What a weird thing that must be, to see your parents perform, or someone performing your parents work. My dad, since retiring at age 60, has taken to regional theater acting, back home in Long Island, New York. He’s been at it for about - 2 years now I think? He’s not going to be nominated for any Tony awards anytime in the next year I don’t think, but Ive seen one of his first acting gigs, and seen some of his recent acting gigs, and hes absolutely gotten better. Overall though, he’s extremely happy with his choice, as well as cyclically regrets it, adores it, gets anxious over it, and is apathetic about it. I hope I’m an interesting enough person when I’m 60, that I’ll decide to do something scary like that.
