Summer Art Stoop Sale

The artiest stoop sale flyer yet.

Found on Broadway below Union Square.

Where's Mani?

I don't know what this is about but it sure is charming. If Where's Mani? were a girl band, I would would want to hear their music.

Found on Broadway, near Union Square.

Leviticus - Part 22: Leviticus Explained

In his own words:

"Leviticus is a world famous artist producing superior quality oil paintings, public street art, philosophy books, builds "experiential" art venues, creates "experiential" orchestras and performs in "freestyle" concerts.

Leviticus produces hundreds of public street art pieces in New York City intended for public consumption and critique. This work is funded by the sale of his oil paintings.

Leviticus is changing the modern paradigms of music making by expanding the formal band structure, making it a more freeform experience, an all inclusive multi medium orchestra, utilizing all forms of human expression to harness explosive group creativity, while eliminating the audience dynamic completely.

Leviticus creates his own venues to produce his orchestras. The venue changes as the orchestra evolves and creates itself. The orchestra turns the venue into a living sculpture. The venue is than made available to the public to be used by promoters, event planners, and various groups that need superior space to house their agendas.

In 2004 Leviticus opened the Glass House Gallery in New York City. Leviticus closed it down in 2006 after recording 40 Glasshouse Orchestra albums. These recorded videos can be seen on Glasshouse Orchestra YOU TUBE."

I found this on Broadway, hanging from a traffic light post.

Keep The Ten Commandments

Crazed Christianity - just the way I like it. Both postings insist you to follow the Ten Commandments and listen to Christ Radio at 53AM.

Best line: "Teenages and people in Hell are suffering terrible."

There wasn't an intact posting of this one so I had to capture it in halves.

Best line: "A face of a woman was on a bats face on a front page news."

Found on Broadway above Union Square.

Leviticus - Part 15: The Videos

Found on Broadway, below 14th Street.

These are promotions for a series of videos on YouTube by the Glasshouse Orchestra, a Freestyle Family project produced by Leviticus. But "produced" overstates the videos which are as raw as anything else in the Leviticus output.

Found in Chelsea, in the gallery district.

The Hottie & The Nottie

Here are ten movies that could be released this year and still not beat The Hottie & The Nottie as the worst film of 2008:

Rambo vs. Predator
A Night At The Roxbury - the director's cut
Green Acres: The Movie
Crossroads 2 - either the Britney Spears or Ralph Macchio flick, doesn't matter.
Reign of Fire 2 - or any other movie about swarms of dragons.
Young Frankenstein - based on the Broadway musical.
Marmaduke: The Movie - The even more repulsive Heathcliff: The Movie was inflicted on audiences back in 1986.
Yentl 2: Shabbat of Blood
She-Hulk
Leonard Part 7

Meet Duchess

At first I thought this was some sort of furry event or American Apparel promotion, or both, but it's for Cats on Broadway, a musical. According to The Bruce High Quality Foundation site, "Set on the border between Bed-Stuy and Bushwick (Broadway, Brooklyn) and performed in the newly renovated Bruce High Quality Foundation Theater (1100 Broadway, Brooklyn), Cats on Broadway brings together an all-volunteer cast of performers, musicians, stagehands, and designers to reflect the emotional conflicts of the gentrification of Brooklyn while satirizing both the utopian reform schemes and self-pitying nihilism often associated with the artists responsible for gentrification’s 'first wave.'”

Doo Wop Singers Wanted

If you're going to form a band in a genre that predates the Xerox machine and Craig's List, it makes sense to advertise for members using neither. I hope that's not a cell phone number.

Found on Broadway, near some NYU dorms.
