LES


I love these whimsical Ads as well... Late 19th c. advertisements.... A theme?

LES



At first I thought these were old Advertisements painted on LES tenement buildings.... then when I saw two in a block radius I realized they were modern meant to look old. Very cool and totally suits the neighborhood. I love it. Ads are for Dewars White Label.

Avenue B and 9th Street



I love the use of an old newspaper as a poster! I've seen these all around the city and I think it's such a great idea. Had to snap it.

9th Street Between Avenue B and C


Every time I walk past this awfully designed poster I get so disturbed...  Right? RIGHT? Yet.... fascinated a little. It's too weird not to post.

St. Marks near Avenue A


I saw this guy every morning for a couple days painting this mural in the early mornings. I didn't realize it was an Ad until he finished. I think it's really cool. I just like the whole idea. And I like that it's tactile and sort of pretty. Advertising is just so smart these days.

East 7th Street Near C



I saw this opened on a stoop on East 7th near C. It had just started raining... I wish I had taken the book home and scanned the pages for the textures! So great. 

East 9th Street


Apparently there's quotes by this guy written on buildings all around downtown NYC. I found this one on East 9th Street near Fourth Avenue.
