'A Murder of Crows' on East 2nd Street



Yesterday afternoon, local musician-artist-snowball-dodger Paul Kostabi started work on a new mural at Ideal Glass on East Second Street ...





… and he returned today to put the finishing touches on what he is calling "A Murder of Crows."



Back in May, Kostabi created murals on two roll-down gates along Second Avenue … here … and here.

Thanks to Fenton Lawless for the photos.

And here's a photo via Facebook showing one last touch ... the sign reading "Newer York."

    An important finishing touch is not included in these shots: He added a banner reading "The New New York."

    Thanks to Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, when I was a big fan back in their early day, I learned that a "murder" is a group of crows...Not that anybody asked! ANYWAY, nice, vibrant mural.
