Overconsmer in the South Bronx
Overconsumer's stickers are everywhere in NYC, but this is the first piece of his I've seen (and it is up in the Bronx!)
Philly Sticker Art
The stickers in Philly are probably the best anywhere -- in terms of variety, quality, etc. I could spend weeks in Philly just sticker-hunting and still not document them all. I'm amazed at the care that goes into creating these stickers and the artists' abilities to collaborate.
COLE VALLEY HILLSIDE RESIDENCE
Resting on the hillside of San Francisco’s Cole Valley, this residence is a revitalization of a 1930's home into a more relaxing, modern masterpiece. It sits at the end of a cul-de-sac where the first thing you see while approaching is an exceptional use of planked wood siding and black steel.

Fresh Apartment with Vivid Colors in Hong Kong :The RAINBOW House
We recently received a welcoming and colorful home design by Max Lam, the Chief Designer of Moderne . According to the press release they sent us, the Rainbow House is a “830 sqf flat at The Cairnhill in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. The entire concept is inspired by a RAINBOW. The main colours of this home are green, yellow and red. The rainbow goes from the living room to the dining room, from walls to ceilings, thoroughly
decorates 11 feet high ceiling, and then goes over the hidden room door. The unique stainless steel lamps together with the colourful settings, contribute to a sharp and trendy environment. Max combined the two rooms into one, in order to enlarge the space. A green wall and an orange wall make a strong contrast, which lead to a conceptual differentiation between bedroom and study room. The built-in white shelves, desks and high cabinet in the study room are simple and functional. All the 60’s and 70’s contemporary modern classical furniture came from designer’s invaluable collection from many Eur
opean countries, including designer pieces by Joe Colombo, Rodolfo Bonetto, Olaf Von Bohr, Marc Newson, Anna Castelli Ferrieri, Giotto Stoppino, Erik Magnussen, etc. All these classics make an inspiring contribution to the playful and colourful Rainbow House.” Freshome readers, would you live in an apartment with this much color?

North Philly Graffiti
I revisited "the" wall on North 5th yesterday. It has been perfectly maintained. I just hope it won't be a casualty of the gentrification creeping closer and closer to the heart of Kensington.
Abandoned in North Philly
Certain areas of North Philly are gentrifying so rapidly that scenes like this are soon to disappear. Signs everywhere are offering to buy folks' homes. But I wonder where they're going and for what price.

The Prolific Katsu
Ever since Katsu made headlines ( at least on street art blogs!) with his massive MOCA tag, I've been paying closer attention to his work on the streets here. He seems to be everywhere!

In Toronto, AWOL CREW
A friend from Toronto -- who prefers to remain anonymous and give credit only to the artists -- sent me some amazing pics of walls. This is among my favorites.

In Tribeca
Tara is develping a sixth sense for cool street art. She found this one in the vicinity of St John's University on Murray Street.
OverUnder in Coney Island
It was already dark when Samantha -- by chance -- came upon OverUnder and Veng at work on a mural on Surf Avenue. I'm so glad she had a camera with her!

Pixo in the East Village
I've been increasingly noticing this Pixo tag. This may be the most conspicuous -- on the corner of St. Marks Place.

Recreate famous architecture using toothpicks
Soothing programs by best selling author and composer Max Highstein The Diet Solution Program
To create a famous architecture, an architect doesn’t need complex software. He doesn’t even need a pencil and a board.
All he needs is imagination. The material base it’s just a small detail. An architect has to be able to create using various materials, in original ways.
With imagination, an architect can use original materials to recreate famous architecture designs: toothpiks
You have no idea what u can do with some toothpiks.
Scott Weaver is an architect with huge imagination and patience. He recreated an abstract toothpick sculpture of San Francisco, which we all know, it is one of the most famous architecture designs in the world.

Yasmin Shoots 5Pointz
I finally had a chance to check out some of the photos Yasmin Jones, my City-as-School intern, took last week at 5Pointz. She has lots of great ones, including this fabulous Ka TVT piece.
Oyster | Studio Kawamura Ganjavian
Contemporary domestic spaces tend to be sleek and cool but often miss cosy intimate corners. Oyster is a versatile piece of furniture. When folded it is a cushion, when unfolded it creates a cosy and comfortable private shelter. + Designer: Studio Kawamura Ganjavian
