The Penistrator shows off his stroke outside Mars Bar


The Intern of EV Grieve (IOEVG) returns to my good graces with this masterful photo taken outside the Mars Bar the other night... This is NOT the Faux Penistrator that we've seen of late... No, this is classic Osment Penistrator.

Anyone missing a dog around Second Street between Avenue A and First Street? Per a reader: "I was surprised last night by a dog trotting past me with a collar but no leash. Cute little white and brown spotted thing. Couldn’t really catch it or anything but felt bad if someone is looking for this guy."

First blow of 2011: Faux Penistrator(s) on the loose

Despite the Great Snowstorm of Dec.26-27 2010, we never spotted the handiwork of the renowned Penistrator. However, after the light snowfall the last two days... well, see for yourself on this hood on Seventh Street between First Avenue and Avenue A...



Meanwhile, a reader sent along this shot from inside a StuyTown elevator.



Might this all be a warmup for the incoming snow expected on Wednesday?

Gonna be a long winter: The Penistrator strikes first snow

As I first reported, we had just a dusting of snow Monday night hereabouts — a dusting ... but that didn't stop you know who from making his or her first appearance of the young 2010-11 winter season...



Thanks to a tipster for this photo, taken on Bleecker and Jane Street in Marc JacobsVille. Uh-oh ... a little off the beaten path for this icy pork sword, don't you think? ... During the first snowfall of the 2009-10 season, the Snow Shaft Bandit stuck to his or her usual East Village confines. Now a migration to the West Village? Or — shudder — has the penistrator spawned copycats in other neighborhoods?

Oh, boy... it's gonna be a long winter with this "snowfitti" vandal on the loose... Eyes open, people. Eyes open.

NYPD raises Shepard Fairey threat level to 'high'




Heh. No! Just the NYPD protecting the Houston corridor for the Obama motorcade this evening...



Many thanks to EV Grieve reader Anna for the photos...

Thankfully the Penistrator didn't deface Shep's work for the President to see...

Hard to keep a good plywood peepee down

Someone (Hello, Penistrator!) really wants to draw a big dick on Shepard Fairey's mural on Houston and the Bowery... here's the latest...

Exclusive: The Penistrator didn't act alone



Given the behavior of some Smurfs cast members this spring .... authorities released the above photo... perhaps as a cautionary tale of some sort.

Balloon porn discovered in Tompkins Square Park

Thanks to EV Grieve reader Blue Glass for this shot... yesterday at the Carnival for Tompkins Square Middle School in Tompkins Square Park.... some mischief, perhaps, with the balloons... And at an event for kids. For shame. Maybe the Penistrator was making a non-wintertime appearance to keep us on guard...

Is a serial vomiter targeting the new Cooper Union building?

First, I apologize for this photo.

However! In the name of crackpot conspiracies news!

In the last month or so, I've walked by the new Cooper Union academic building and have noticed that someone had, well, barfed in the shadows at least six different times, usually on Friday, Saturday or Sunday mornings (duh) .... the first few times, well, ok, chuck it up chalk it up to its proximity to an ample number of students, tourists and bars...but after the fifth time, this is a trend.



There are many places to vomit in the neighborhood. Like in the bathroom at McSorley's. Or on the F train. Or my front steps. Why here so many times? Does someone have an issue with the new building? Is it just an inviting place to yak? Or, worse, after this neighborhood has had to deal with the Penistrator, is a Vomitrator now on the loose?

Penistrator clues: Haley Joel Osment owns one baseball hat, probably

So, you remember all that business about someone who looked something like Haley Joel Osment drawing a snow peepee on East 12th Street last January... (it made international headlines...)



Of course, there were some people who weren't convinced that this, indeed, could be the star of such motion pictures as "Artificial Intellignce: AI." Like, for instance, one commenter, who we'll call "JM," wrote: "maybe it's just some fratty white kid in a ballcap."

Last night, an anonymous commenter left a message on that post, saying: "the only way you can actually tell its him is from the hat. there are tons of pics/videos of him wearing that hat all over the place."

It's true, we found. Look! He wears a hat that looks similar to the person who was drawing a snick (snow dick) on that windshield...







P.S.

Belated kudos to New York magazine for naming the Penistrator one of the reasons to love New York in 2009...

(Updated) The Penistrator, or a clever imitator, returns

With this weekend's snowfall, we expected as much...On Avenue A near Fourth Street...



Unfortunately, much of the possible evidence was tainted before we could properly examine it.



Bob Arihood also captured some of the Penistrator's work from the weekend storm.

UPDATED:

While out and about earlier, we found more handiwork from this shameless snoffiti artist...
