only $20 !! a pop !! / & NOT an edition.
damn. I had to get me one !!!
is the friggin’ L train running ?
yes . . it’s Thanksgiving weekend !! Praise the Lord.
I’m on !! Jersey to Bushwick . . in a hard-core heartbeat.
everything is so damn fraught . . today.
bring on the DAMN . . DIY !!!
the more in-your-face, and HOMIER !! the BETTER !!!
radical contrarians unite . .
in a new age of rebel arts & crafts !!!
Red rover, red rover, let the insider / outsiders . . . take over.
right in the heart of still authentic Bushwick – a rebel heart grows.
re-purposed rusty old SPRAY CANS bearing succulents – line one shelf.
a seed grows in . . Brooklyn
a radical ‘graff’ artist & purveyor of Spray paint supplies . . blossoms into a pop-up pocket DIY gardener.
take an old empty spray paint can.
the rusting is accelerated by an immersive water bath, first.
then . . “let them dry. Spray (the interior) with a clear varnish by either 94 or Gold.”
then throw in some dirt, & a baby succulent, and you are good to go.
this one is . . . mine.
best $20 – ever !!!!!
BISHOP.
artist/store owner. entrepreneur and . . gardener.
damn, check out the rows & rows . .
of color tonality on the wall / if that ain’t . . ‘pretty little maids all in a row’ / OG ‘garden’ metaphor !!
I don’t know what is.
oh yeah. somebody on your list, wants this.
so, take that brisk trek over to outer Bushwick,
take that lonely $20 bill in your pocket, and fork it over. no brainer.
or better yet, if you are flush.
pull that dirty, well-worn, w-i-d-e elastic band, off that wad of $20s, or if it’s:
Real-fake Basquiat forger / Alfredo Martinez style $100 bills burning a hole in your pocket /
my sincere advice is: flash the cash,
peel off those greenbacks . . & buy out the store.
def, check out: LOW BROW ARTIQUE
they have other merch, including logo t-shirts, graff-centered artworks, Boundless Brooklyn water tower & billboard kits, ink markers and, hands-dpwn,
. . “the largest aerosol color selection on the east coast.”
to peer upon that wall of cans, is to tremble / every time.
