October 8, 2004 Critter Characters
Like characters out of a children's book, these illustrations of
anthropomorphic animal characters look like they were drawn with a
Sharpie pen. They appear without any context other than a graffiti-covered
surface. We haven't seen these critter drawings anywhere else so they
may be a one-off attempt at artistic expression or amusement. If you weren't looking
looking carefully enough, you'd probably walk right by these without noticing them--the critters are small and
appear on the side of an old, dirty school building on Rivington Street in the
Lower East Side.These illustrations are also yet another example of one
layer of street art and graffiti "layering" over one another, at once
defacing the surface and graf or art underneath and yet annotating the
predecessor's work.
