Checking in on the Standard East Village plywood grafitti

The plywooding of the Standard East Village for its renovations finished up early last week... We wondered how long before someone tagged the wood... We noticed one little squiggle on the East Fifth Street side on Wednesday...

...and by Saturday...

The previous regime here at the Cooper Square Hotel was pretty speedy when it came to removing any tags, though that was on a permanent fence and not just construction plywood... The Cooper Square folks also commissioned four graffiti artists for that mural project on the hotel's south side...
