Faceless Charlie Brown mural is now headless

The brickwork continues on the east-facing wall of east-facing wall at 402 E. 12th St. near First Avenue.

As noted, a crew here is working on the bricks, though we don't know the extent of the project — it looks like the whole wall is under repair.

Jerkface created the wall-size mural back in the fall of 2014.

Your faceless Charlie Brown mural update from 12th Street

The Faceless Charlie Brown(s) mural appears to be going, going ... here on the east-facing wall at 402 E. 12th St. near First Avenue.

As noted, a crew here is working on the bricks, though we don't know the extent of the project.

Thanks to EVG reader Charmaine for the photo!

Good grief! Is this the end of the faceless Charlie Brown mural on 12th Street

From the tipline... a crew has been doing brick on the east-facing wall at 402 E. 12th St. near First Avenue.

We didn't spot any work permits on file with the city, so we're unsure of the project's scope... and whether this might mean the end of the Faceless Charlie Brown(s) on a pitcher's mound. TBD.

Honoring Puerto Rican freedom fighter Pedro Albizu Campos with a mural on 12th and C

Brooklyn-based artist Danielle Mastrion finished her mural yesterday on the SW corner of Avenue C and 12th Street that pays tribute to Puerto Rican freedom fighter and spiritual luminary Pedro Albizu Campos ... and directly across the street from Campos Plaza...

The mural is the first outside the newly renovated 656 E. 12th St., which the city officially unveiled on Tuesday. The renovation will provide some affordable housing options for the neighborhood.

For several years, the walls outside No. 656 housed the 12C Outdoor Art Gallery, which featured a rotating batch of murals curated by East Village-based artist and speaker Robert Galinsky.

Expect more new murals on the wall in the months ahead.

This work was unveiled via Galinsky Coaching, the Loisaida Center and L.E.S. CommUnity Concerns.

Sunday's parting shot

Currently on the wall outside the Second Avenue F stop at Houston: A 9/11 tribute to firefighter Robert W. McPadden by Clown Soldier. (H/T William Klayer.)

Here's more about him: 

Robert William McPadden‚ 30‚ firefighter‚ FDNY‚ Engine 23. McPadden was continuing his family's proud tradition of public service when he joined the FDNY. His father had served the department for almost 40 years‚ and his brother and sister are both police officers. While he waited for an opening in the FDNY‚ he earned a graduate degree in criminal justice and played a lot of Jeopardy. He and his wife had just bought a home in Pearl River so they could be closer to family and friends.

[Updated] Someone placed an ad for AMC's 'The Walking Dead: Dead City' over the George Floyd mural on Houston and the Bowery

The George Floyd mural by @fumeroism arrived in early June 2020 on the southwest corner of the Bowery and East Houston... and has remained in place these past three-plus years. 

Hopefully, it will return: The AMC ad looks to be temporary — some kind of peel-and-stick mural. "The Walking Dead: Dead City" premiered last night. 

As a reader noted, bad timing for covering the George Floyd memorial on Juneteenth.

Updated 6/20 

Overnight, someone peeled off the AMC ad to reveal the George Floyd mural once again...

A slice of street art for Two Boots

A Make-A-Wish moment on Avenue A

Rey Rosa (aka The Drif) created this mural this week outside 50 Avenue A between Third Street and Fourth Street.

It's a piece for Make-A-Wish Metro New York... Rosa is a Make-A-Wish alumnus. 

As ABC 7 reports, Rosa, a Bronx native, was born with HIV and spent years in foster care. He was recipient of a "life-changing" Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World at age 7. 

"What kid doesn't want to go to Disney World," he told the station. "It let me know there was more out in the world than the small space I was occupying." 

This space on Avenue A is curated by the Lisa Project, the 501c3 public art charity that Rosa founded with his husband Wayne. 

You can watch the ABC report here. 

EVG reader Newman shared this in-progress photo from earlier in the week...

A Prince for Houston

This mural of Prince by @dirtcobain arrived last weekend on the corner of Houston and Eldridge (on the Ridge Hotel). 

Prince died on this day in 2016.

This is the way

Here's a follow-up to last week's post and a look at the final "Mandalorian"-related mural by local artist-illustrator Rich Miller on the NE corner of Seventh Street and Avenue C.
