Tribal Mural on Thompson Street, SoHo, New York

This new black-and-white mural on Thompson Street in SoHo, in downtown New York City, is painted in a pattern that reminiscent of the kind of tribal tattoo popular in the late 1990's The section of wall used to be a nondescript stretch of brick covered with a lame, unfinished tags that kept getting painted over and then cropping up again. The wall looksgreat with this massive mural work, but we would have preferred that the space was devoted to something artistically bolder, more original. Still, we're happy to see this kind of creative use of space on chic Thompson Street, now home two high-priced condo conversions, fashionable real-estate, celebrities, expensive restaurants, boutique hotels and small luxury stores.
