This street art is located on the exterior of a laundromat in the Lower East Side. Tom Bob, a New York City artist, is famous for reimagining urban objects into whimsical scenes. A gray cartoon mouse emerges from behind a large, bright yellow ramp painted to resemble a giant piece of Swiss cheese. I so admire people who have the vision to transform a structural element such as this ramp, into something eye-catching.
There once was a wedge on the street
With moon-craters painted so neat..
A mouse, eyes so bright,
Took one cosmic bite,
And launched into June on swiss feet.

Wonderfully clever, as is the limerick.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteNeat art, and the sidewalk could really use a pressure wash.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Lower East Side...dirty and gritty are part of its vibe.
DeleteThat is very clever!
