the dog and the cats here get along fine too, but I don't know if the cats would walk on a leash LOL. The dog doesn't like it, either ! the snoozing baby is adorable. Love the musicians. Long ago Antwerp had musicians like that, on street corners, but I think it got forbidden, a shame. It made people stop and listen, and when the song was over, sometimes we would talk... just like our animals are a contact point! Never thought about graffiti like that, but you are right - why not? some graffiti is art !

Thank you, brother. You made me think of a Dylan line: "Meantime, life outside goes on/All around you"

The helmet is called a "New Yorker".

I used to wear one.

In New Jersey.

I once did a pretty amazing non traditional advertising project for Time Magazine using 80s train bombing graffiti artists. We had to use the outside of 5 points in Queens to hang the canvases to be tagged. It was probably one of my favorite projects because I met some great people that I wouldn’t normally cross paths with.

Very cool, Kim! I hung out there a lot before the building was torn down and basked in the general vibe of freedom of expression.
