Out and about with Rhett the Rhino
While we don't always know why papier-mâché sculptures are randomly placed around the neighborhood... we have answers about those one — aka Rhett the Rhino.

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.
P.S.
This April 2012 EVG post has more history about the address, 106 Avenue C.
P.S.S.

Highlighting 'Free The Nipple Day' on Avenue A

Here's more about the work via an Instagram post by wall curator The Lisa Project:
Happy Women's History Month 2023. This year we wanted to spotlight the now decade-old "Free The Nipple" campaign created by the multitalented artist/actor, equal rights activist, and snappy dresser Ms. Lina Esco. As "Free The Nipple Day" is Sunday 3/26/23.To celebrate we tasked Street and Sticker Artist Jim Tozzi to paint his brilliant work. His funny culture-mashing take on an iconic character, "Bert's Tit" was the perfect way to keep body equality in the conversation.But at the end of the day, we hope it makes you smile, laugh and remember a woman's body is hers, and hers alone…

A new era for the old Bad Pussies wall on 3rd Street and Avenue B
Photos by Stacie Joy
On Saturday, Italian muralists Jorit and Tukios started a new project on the SW corner of Third Street and Avenue B — outside Mama's Bar...
Here's a look yesterday at the final mural of Talib Kweli and Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) — aka Black Star...
The two had permission from the building's owner to do this mural (it was not commissioned) ... which replaces the longstanding Bad Pussies mural that had been nearly tagged out of existence.
While visiting NYC, Jorit and Tukios have kept busy, creating murals of KRS-One on Second Street at First Avenue and Malcolm X in First Street Green Art Park ... as well as Muhammad Ali on Sixth Street at First Avenue...

Thursday's parting shot
EVG reader Garrett Rosso points out that for the first time since its arrival in late 2014, the "Alphabet City" mural has been tagged on the SW corner of Avenue C and Sixth Street ... on the (rather mysterious) RCN Cable building.
The ABC mural is the work of Brooklyn-based artists The Yok and Sheryo. And there was a little bit of controversy when this mural first arrived.

Sunday's opening shot
In recent weeks, some folks have been creating this NYC streetscape mural on Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B (near Minca) ... not sure who's doing it (the piece is not signed) and if it's complete yet... seems as if new details are added every few days.

Caturday's news: 'Bad Pussies' mural tagged on 3rd Street
In the last day or two someone tagged (defaced?) the "Bad Pussies" mural on Third Street at Avenue B...
The mural has been here since at least 2007 (the earlier Google Street View goes back) ... and some previous EVG coverage here.
