Fresh work by Haculla (a.k.a., artist Harif Guzman) in his usual spot on an old garage door on Lafayette Street, next to Cafe Select and across from Petrosino Park in SoHo. This paint job references the “pimped-out” D.I.Y. car sub-culture, which overlaps several American ethnic, music-based and hobbyist sub-cultures. “All cherried out” and “More ounce to the bounce” complete the picture, as does the signature “Haculla Lives.”
Massive fresh Haculla (a.k.a., Harif Guzman) wheat-paste street art at one of his preferred spots, on a wide door a few meters away from Swiss brunch joint Cafe Select on Lafayette Street in SoHo, across from Petrosino Square, in downtown New York City. Love this.
Visitors to the seventh-floor terrace at the New Museum in New York City will treated to this massive “fuk art” message by Haculla on the side of a building up the street, on the Bowery. Cheeky.
Fresh art work from Haculla at the usual spot near Cafe Select on Lafayette Street in SoHo / Nolita. IHere the artist uses imagery from the Statue of Liberty and celebrates New York City (and state) under the heading “Empire State.” The standard fanged and mustachioed Haculla character is superimposed on Lady Liberty herself.
Haculla wheat-paste street art on Wooster Street in SoHo, in downtown New York City. This artwork riffs on iconic imagery from the cover art of a 1980′s Bruce Springsteen album and single, “Born in the U.S.A.” The phrase “Born to Run” references the name of saxophone-infused pop-rock classic hit by “the Boss” from another album a decade earlier.
Haculla is among our group of favorite wheat-paste street-art creators working the downtown New York City landscape. Here’s some recent work we found on Broome St. featuring imagery of rock icon Janis Joplin.
“Don’t trip Kate” wheat-paste street art by Haculla in downtown New York City. The “Kate” is super-slim model Kate Moss.
Recent wheat-paste street art by Haculla on Lafayette St. in SoHo / Nolita in downtown New York City. We love the phrases pasted on the image of model Kate Moss: “Rich girls will break your heart” and “Poor girls will take your money.”Beautiful stuff.
Artist Haculla strikes Broome Street with a pair of wheat-paste street art posters, one of which does the mash-up of illustration and hyperbolic supermarket tabloid with screaming headline “My Twisted Night with Brit” (Brit, of course, being controversial pop-music star and regular gossip-press fodder Britney Spears). Love the lines “Lies4Sale Ha!”
Haculla has been one of the most visible and prolific creators putting fresh artwork up in downtown Manhattan, New York City, in the past year. We love this stuff! This artwork is on a building on the northwest corner of Broome and Bowery streets next to the recently posted Ahn San Suu Kyi piece by Shepard Fairey.

New York Street Art: Street artist Haculla stikes agaiin with “I’m Still Standing” on Spring Street in Nolita, between Elizabeth Street and Bowery. This fresh wheat-paste street art piece is based on a famous photographic image of legendary American actor James Dean walking through New York City’s Times Square (once fatalistically referred to as the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”).
