Tiger Jesus Stencil
What does a giant, ferocious feline and the Messiah have in common? Well, if you walk down Rivington St. (which seems to
be increasingly the focus of our Nikon cameras in recent weeks) in that gray zone between SoHo and the Lower East Side, you'll
find out. On the south side of the street, between Bowery and Chrystie streets near the foot of a tenement building is afixed
an amazing piece of multi-colored stencil street art, in the form of a plaque, bearing the images of both a tiger and
Jesus. What a combo!
