If you're a Joni Mitchell fan, you probably know her song "For Free," about a street musician and the contrast between the music "he played real good, on his clarinet, for free" and her own music, which people paid to hear.
Like that street singer, there are so many artists in New York who simply give away their work. Here's an example: I found this book tucked into a window grate in Chelsea. The cover is by a couple of artists -- Infinity and Royce Bannon -- from the so-called Endless Love Crew. Inside, it was a published comic book or graphic novel.
I was sorely tempted to take it. But I didn't, in the spirit of making art available "For Free."
That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the infinity shapes floating around on the front cover of the book.
No one does that kind of public art in DC. Thank you so much for sharing some of your city's incredible magic. Bravo!
That's very cool Steve.
ReplyDeleteDennis finds the 'you' written on the stone unbearable romantic.....sigh...
ReplyDeleteI love this sort of "recycling".
ReplyDeleteI found an art book in Williamsburg that somebody left similarly, for whoever wants it, for free.
All the best,
