GOING UP !!"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

yeah for sure, we jumped at that prospect !!
\nso this past Sat, June 18, 2011 – we took the bait and strolled by.
\nhappily the rain had stopped its relentless pounding.
\nand yeah we caught:
\nAD DEVILLE – aka SKEWVILLE – at the site – of his 100 ft. long mural, sponsored by BROOKLYN STREET ART (BSA).
\nlocated at 82 NORTH 11th Street – bet BERRY & WYTHE in WILLIAMSBURG. 24\/7 viewing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

AD told us he had been working on the mural since the weekend before. even through the rain.
\nhe said: spray paint dries fast, and . . . “if the rain is coming straight down – it’s good to go”. !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

it was a pretty big project.
\nhe said “his bro showed up for about 2 hours and did the top black part.” ha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

dig that real !!<\/em> NYC water tower – on Brooklyn skyline – to the left !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

my fav part ?
\nthe BROOKLYN BRIDGE . . . person-i-fied !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

it was real cool – how the rea<\/em>l brick wall – got incorporated into the mural as well – even when painted flat black !!
\ncome on !! great little face, or what ? looked like a time-piece, a clock face – for some strange reason. too.
\nmore like the man-in-the-moon, than the ‘honeymooners’. more mechanical, and sweet than human.
\nfor sure. more old school than sci-fi, no ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

loved the ‘syringe’ effect, too. spoke to NYC grit . . . and ‘survival’ – between the lines. <\/p>\n

life above the grid – being managed by the skyline, itself !! like some run-away RICHARD SCARRY book.<\/p>\n

it kinda looked like the bridge ‘hand’ – was throwing the needle away ?
\nor was it placing a building into the grid ?
\nno matter, how you took it – it spoke to New York, and its resilient, not to mention – landmark-loving denizens !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

passersby were also digging the yellow plane – a sky-writer, for sure.
\nthe primary colors were trademark – SKEWVILLE.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

AD DEVILLE running some finishing touches along the mural’s lower length . . .
\nSKEWVILLE . . . also did the seriously fab – shark fin border – at the bottom edge . . . <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

you can look down the street toward the East River and see the Manhattan skyline – just beyond !!
\nthat’s also where that ‘needle’ inspiration – comes from. those old-school city skyscrapers !!
\nI guess those are SKEWVILLE sneakers, hanging from the old overhead wires !!
\n. . . and, there’s even – an American flag blowing in the wind !! a little bit of ole glory red, white and blue.
\nagainst the golden spires and hot, hazy horizon.
\nLAST EXIT TO SKEWVILLE . . . Brooklyn-side, NYC.
\noh, yeah. <\/p>\n
