David Bowie tributes on the Bowery and Bond Street


The tributes to David Bowie continue...

In case you didn't read about this one yesterday... during the blizzard on Saturday night, a group of Bowie fans added David to the street sign on the Bowery at East Houston...



You can read more about this at Gothamist and BoweryBoogie.

And not everyone is a fan of the addition. Gawker said that "the tribute is bad and makes no sense."

Meanwhile, another tribute arrived last week on a gate along Bond Street between the Bowery and Lafayette...



You get two versions of Bowie, depending on the direction you're headed... the above shot (going to the west) is from Aladdin Sane ... and there's an older Bowie on the other side ... (this photo is much better than the one I took, so...)


This installation comes courtesy of Scott VanderVoort, who previously created a tribute to Steve Jobs on the same fence.

...and you've likely seen these around... just as a recap...

    Oh, Gawker found something to be in poor taste? They're ones to talk!
