Welcome viewers! The streets of New York are chock full of culture and art, so I welcome you to indulge on the creativity and expression of the local artists. Whether it is crime or declaration, it is art.

These lampposts seem to provide the public with a colorful and playful sight on their way to work. Whether you stop and look or not, these will always catch your eye as you wait to cross the street.

As you walk throughout the city, you find that a majority of the art in areas of business where there are no empty walls to serve as a canvas, much of the art is in the form of stickers on posts near the streets.

This intriguing image makes one stop and think, what could it possibly mean. There is an obvious split between the outer and inner human being, but what is this art trying to tell us? Are we fragile on the inside? Is our stomach tied in knots? Is this picture depicting anxiety or sadness? Maybe it is a representation of mental disorder. Or maybe it is simply skin over bone.

Whether you understanding the meaning of art or not, it is an experience. Walking through the streets of New York is an experience. I thank you for viewing my gallery and welcome you to view more works of art on your own. Step outside and take in the creativity, the beauty, the mystery.
