"Peg Leg" Sticker, Winter Version, NYC - Detail

pegleg_detail.jpg

Here's a detail shot of the winter version of the ubiquitous "Peg Leg" sticker in downtown NYC. (To view the context photo, see the image below or on the next page.)

Background Note
We've noticed "Peg Leg" stickers appearing in lower Manhattan and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, since last summer. Usually the lettering of the moniker comes in warm orange and yellow hues. But last week we found this snowflaked winter version of the "Peg Leg" sticker on a lamp post on Varick St. in Soho, New York City.

By the way, we've got the Nikon Coolpix digital camera workng again, so we snapped this image with a proper hi-res cam insteading of using the lower resolution built-in cam on our Palm Treo 650 cell phone.

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.
