No, I haven't posted here in over a month. That's crazy. I've been ridiculously busy. For those of you that know me, you know how busy that actually is.
Also, Art Basel was last month, so, yes, it took a while for me to get these photos up on the web. There are a lot of photos though, so it's probably worth it.
Check out the full set on flickr.
Here are some highlights:

There is a lot of really nice work that shows up though, so I went through and pulled out some favorites. Here they are, with commentary.
Grime city. I love when street art type stuff gets mixed up with raw scribbles like you see in this scene. It's great. I especially love the character poking his head out and surviving in the background.
Amazingly, I never saw this in person. I'm just never around there when I'm in Manhattan anymore. I'm always in fancyville these days and never make it much further south than, say the 20s or upper teens.
I think I need an intervention.
This is a great photo. The KEM5 piece is nice, but the whole thing comes together as a photo.

Here are a few I posted last night:
This guy goes around crossing out writers while muttering about "ghetto welfare gang bullshit." He's kind of an unstoppable force.
