| "Ize" Up in Meatpacking District, NYC »
Here's an "up" by "Nuke" on good ol' Crosby Street in Soho. Crosby has quite a bit of graf for Soho, that is -- at street level -- largely a spruced up shopping distict for the masses. The street is the last of the old school Soho lanes that still retains some of the character of the grimier industrial Soho, even though the the roadway is surrounded on all sides by upcales boutiques, media offices, design studios, day spas, a Bloomingdales, a Starbucks and dozens upon dozens of mega-hugmongous luxury lofts and apartments that are home to celebrities, like Lenny Kravitz and Courtenay Love, who appreciate the relative privacy and quiet, back-alley vibe of Crosby Street. Thank you, "Nuke," for the extra Crosby Street flava'.

What is Street Art?
Many people know street art when they see it. But what it is and what it isn't sometimes is unclear and often debatable at best. A definition of street art may be helpful. According to the Wikipedia's entry on the subject as of July 11, 2008, Street Art is defined as follows:
Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term Street Art or the more specific Post-Graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.
