The Graffiti Friend of EV Grieve (GFOEVG) sent along this link from Animal New York... graffiti writer NAW tried to add a little something to the new mural at Houston and the Bowery... which didn't go over well with the security guard on duty...
Graf on the street has to be fast, given how stiff the penalties are. That's why you see so much of the simpler, tag-based graffiti. You can't stand on the corner of Houston and Bowery and take your sweet time painting a masterpiece, in plain view of everyone.

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

Oh no, it has a security guard!
Sorry, but I couldn't care less about graf "artists" whose repetoire is limited to tagging their name.
iT's sorta ugly and meaningless

Says a lot that this piece is getting tagged over while the Os Gemeos (master)piece was never touched.
Perfect touch for the forth corner of the "new" Bowery and Houston.Whole Foods DBGE Pulino's and Shepard. Its like a down town Times Square
