Welcome to the East Village — home of beer

We've been watching the ad mural for Modelo come to life on East 12th Street at Avenue A … (former home of the "Girls" mural).

Last Saturday!



A few days later!

Today!



Not sure who these folks are in the ad… People who some ad executives think live here … people who some ad executives want to drink Modelo… people who are just random people on a mural…

Beyonce, Ben Affleck, Jimi Hendrix and Angelina Jolie.

It looks like a meeting of Hipsters Anonymous:

"Hello, my name is Pabst, and yes I am A Hipster."

Anything's better than that dog butt that I had to try and avoid looking at for so many years. Even if it was a Chico.

This is how corporate America or at least Madison Avenue sees us. They even included a "Prince logo" looking tattoo because "ink" is so cool and alternative, right Justin Bieber?

What's with the guy in the middle? Is that some kind of Elvis or werewolf hairdo or is he wearing a Robin Hood hat? And the ad agency insisted on the fedora on the other guy because COOL!

I wonder if Jimi Hendrix were alive today if he would be into corporate sponsorship?

Supremo from Rebelmatic is definitely the brother in the photo... Real raw poc far from a hipster or what have you. Cool. I was in the commercial that pays homage to punk era nyc, haven't seen it though. Those are folks that were in the same commercial.
