Sighting of yarn of day over.
Laser Knuckles; must get some; start writing.
This, from Graffiti Research Lab, creators of GML (Graffiti Markup Language); laser knuckles let you draw by simply pointing at, well, EVERYthing.
Laser Knuckles (Prototype) from Evan Roth on Vimeo.
Nothing is sacred; everything in the built environment is yours—to trace.*

Tescia is the one flinging shoes in Bushwick…
Sorry it took me so long to pick this up.

Sidewalk-fitti (seen in Ridgewood):
And, my extra-favorite:
Curb-fitti! Call them Street Interventions in the Narrowest-possible Space!

Street Art: the discourse, as begun by Susan Farrell; continued by…?
Some of you may be aware of Susan Farrell, an academic out of the West Coast (U. of Oregon) who has been a champion of street art. If not, you should be!
