New, unsanctioned addition by STOP MEN above Storefront for Art & Architecture. #nycgraffiti
The all-caps words STOP
MEN are rollered out in large, 1-storey letters on the side of a building next to NYC's Storefront for Art & Architecture. The Storefront's ground floor facade is painted with a colorful mural by Denilson Baniwa. Pedestrians cross the street in the foreground.

I'd normally be annoyed at Reuters for doing a fake out where they focus on Rob from Massive Attack, before explaining that Banksy is actually the guy the Daily Mail named years ago, but it's so well written and richly reported I didn't care www.reuters.com/investigates...
reuters.com
In search of Banksy, Reuters found the artist took on a new identity
Anonymity has become part of a lucrative brand for the artist Banksy, but records we unearthed prove his true identity and show the new name he used to travel to Ukraine.

After last night's SuperBowl halftime, it seems appropriate to post this recent adtakeover in Williamsburg, Brooklyn titled "Love for Los Sures".

Detail of a poem as part of a bus shelter adtakeover:


"Memory of Los Sures" 
When Los Sures was Puerto Rican 
in the summer 
there was no sleeping
Celebration all night
because for the joy of living
is enough reason 
to love
dance
and sing
