A mural grows on St. Mark's Place
And a new mural is going up on the formerly green wall here outside Foot Gear Plus on St. Mark's Place at First Avenue... it's an ad for Village Kids Footwear, which is around the corner closer to First Avenue...
...speaking of green, this addition has already been painted over...

A marriage proposal by mural on Second Street (and she said yes)
Multiple readers/tipsters sent along word yesterday about a marriage proposal on the mural on East Second Street at Avenue A... as this photo from RyanAvenueA shows...
And later, Ryan (different one!) notes that the Caitlin of the mural said yes. Hey, he's not even on his knee!
The Late Adopter has a nice shot of the mural too here.

A Royal corner of the East Village
During the weekend, Chico worked on a new Kate-William mural on Houston at Avenue B. (See our pictures from Saturday here.)
Chico was finishing up the mural yesterday afternoon...

As BoweryBoogie noted in his coverage yesterday, Harlem-based liquor depot Branson B. Champagne is sponsoring the mural, which will only be up for three weeks.
The new murals replaces the Loisaidas album art...
...which at least one person took issue with...
Fourteen years earlier, Chico memorialized William's mother here on the same corner...
...art that was eventually vandalized...

Mural fiber
In recent weeks, you've likely seen two murals going up on East Village buildings...
On East Third Street between the Bowery and Second Street...
...and Eighth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C...
[Photo by Sara Louise Tucker]
Here's what's going on...
This is part of a nonprofit event titled Artists Work and painted by Overall Murals. Via email, I spoke with Angel Saemai, a partner of Overall Murals.
The Third Street mural is based on an illustration by French artist Jules Julien while the Eighth Street mural is an original work by Spanish illustrator Gary Fernandez.
"The goal of these installations is mainly to bring cool contemporary artworks and enlarge them into mural form — making them accessible to all people and for their and the neighborhood's enjoyment (hopefully!)," she said.
Saemai said they only choose blank walls so not to paint over any existing artwork. So far, she said that feedback from East Village residents has been positive — "both for adding some color and life to the area as well as for the artworks themselves."
And you can watch a time-lapse video of the painting here at Hugo & Marie.
"We hope to make this an annual thing and make murals for different neighborhoods," she said.

A mural grows on East Third Street
EV Grieve reader Aaron passes along these photos, noting the progress yesterday on the wall adjacent to the Project Renewal facility on Third Street east of the Bowery...
We stopped by ourselves to take a look ... a Project Renewal employee was unsure what the final mural will be ... and wouldn't let us onto the property to ask the man painting the mural...

Nuyorican Poets Café is expanding; plus, looking at the Big Doves mural next door
In its East Third Street report last Friday, The Wall Street Journal noted that Nuyorican Poets Café "is in the process of expanding its three upper floors with the help of a $500,000 grant received from the city. The money is going toward developing additional performance space, a classroom and a multimedia lab."
Meanwhile, in July 2009, I did a post about Ezo's Clash-inspired mural being painted over... granted, the mural was nicked up...still, as a Clash fan, I was sorry to see it go...
Anyway, been meaning to point out the new murals here. These arrived last summer... Excellent work from Big Doves...

Paul Richard puts up a larger sign on Shepard Fairey's mural
On Monday, we posted a video of Paul Richard hanging a sign on Shepard Fairey's Bowery/Houston mural... the sign was quickly removed...
And this past week Paul Richard put up another, larger sign, as you'll see here...
That, too, has been removed...

Shepard Fairey's Houston-Bowery mural is illegal, maybe
The DOB slapped a Stop Work Order on the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery... As AnimalNY noted, there are two options: obtain the proper permits for the "small building" or tear it down.
Here's a shot of the structure on the corner before Fairey's work went up...
Anyway, as an AnimalNY commenter commented..."its funny, that means no repairs to any damage like holes or torn off panels the guy who tossed bricks at it should go back, stop work order means no repairs under threat of criminal charges. you can only do emergency work if there is danger and with approval from the DOB."
So will the mural be vandalized again in the short term?

Vandalized Shepard Fairey mural unvandalized on Houston
Yesterday, the entire blogosphere a few of us (BoweryBoogie and DNAinfo ... and me) pointed out the lastest hole in Shepard Fairey's Bowery-Houston mural...
And just like that, the Fairey Swat Team has made all the repairs...
Previously... Jeremiah discussed the ongoing vandalism issues with the mural at Houston and the Bowery... (You can read those here, here and here.)
