I traveled out to Park Slope in Brooklyn in June to explore and enjoy the area. I was walking around Park Slope to revisit the neighborhood where I lived in the early 1990s. It’s a nice residential neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants on 7th Avenue, but as I was walking and exploring, I kept seeing faces and characters like the one pictured above.
This graffiti artist – the work was not tagged with a name or any ID – likes to splash a gray wash on a surface and then make a simple face or figure, as you can see another pair of them here below:
Here’s another gray wash graffiti piece, this time on a mailbox. It seems a bit risky for someone to paint graffiti on a mailbox, as it’s a federal crime and if caught, one faces penalties including fines up to $250,000 and imprisonment for up to three years. I’m not a graffiti artist, but if I were, I’d leave mailboxes alone.
