Fun Friday 06.18.10 : We Have a Winner!
Contest Winner for “For Your Eyes Only”
You guys are good! And so many got so close in guessing the full list of “Eyes” last week.
So here are the answers:
The big sticking points for most people were Number 2, which a lot of people guessed was Os Gemeos, and Number 4 which some thought was Neckface or Royce Bannon.
But don’t feel bad if you didn’t get them all – nobody did. Our winner is Sandrine from Montreal, Quebec, who was the first person to guess 7 out of 8 correctly (she guessed #4 was Neckface). Congratulations to Sandrine and your original and signed piece from Chris of Robots Will Kill will be in the mail Monday!
Thanks everybody who participated. We’ll have another contest soon!
Where Are You Getting Up This Weekend?

Ya Hearrrd? BSA on HUFF PO
Yo homey, still doing a Snoopy dance on the subway this morning because your favorite Street Art blog was up on HuffingtonPost.com yesterday. Arianna Huffington is one of the few straightforward truthtellers in a storm of darkness year after year, and this is like when it is your turn at Double Dutch and Malcolm McLaren happens to be walking up your block. Okay, big difference is I don’t wear striped red disco shorts and grew up on a farm upstate and never heard of Brownsville or Buffalo Girls till “Duck Rock” came out —but otherwise it’s totally the same yo.
Leave a comment at Huffington Post and tell them how good BSA is at swinging those ropes! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/17/blog-watch-brooklyn-stree_n_615922.html

Trusto Corp, Kid Acne and EMA Trample Through Brooklyn
January 8, 2010
Artists, Brooklyn, On the Street
Aided by Kid Acne’s small army of sword wielding vixens and EMA’s genteel mustachioed dude, Trusto Corp left some words for thought on the streets of Williamsburg.
Geez it’s great to be back home in the freezing bitter city! What have we missed?
Went parading through the ever-changing Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn yesterday and BAM, we’ve been hit! Always keep your eyes peeled in Brooklyn, even as you hobble up the street shaking from cold, avoiding patches of black ice. It’s amazing how sometimes things come in threes, like the Three Muskateers, the Three Stooges, and of course, Triple XXX ratings at your local porno theatre.
Kid Acne, whoever that is, must also be a fashion designer or a costume designer or just fancies laddies who play dress-up – because this new fleet of pastie-ups are chic and sexified, and possibly violent. EMA rings in that old-world charm with the oval locket portraits of a guy who is probably part of a barbershop quartet. And don’t ask me about Trusto Corp – these very seriously realistic looking signs have a variety of sentiments that range from encouraging illegality to insulting me for being fat. Which I’m not!
That SO cannot be true! I am in Williamsburg! By DEFINITION I must be cool. Right? Right? (Trusto Corp) (photo © Jaime Rojo)
Kid Acne's ladies are now carrying swords all the time, have you noticed? Makes me think of that Tina Turner song "What's Love Got to Do With It". ("I've been thinkin' of my own protection") (© Jaime Rojo)
You might want to trim that - looks like trees are growing! (EMA) (photo ©Jaime Rojo)
Is that a threat or a promise? Either way arms are involved (Trusto Corp) (photo © Jaime Rojo)
Nice hat, what's your hurry? (Kid Acne) (photo © Jaime Rojo)

And they're all topless, did I mention that too? (Kid Acne) (photo © Jaime Rojo)
You got me. I don't write the news folks, I just report it. (Trusto Corp) (photo © Jaime Rojo)
The mailman better watch his hands! (Kid Acne) (© Tristan Eaton)
Oops, must have fallen during that last roller-derby match. (Kid Acne) (photo © Jaime Rojo)
Awwww, the sling is blocking the bare breasts! (Kid Acne) (photo © Jaime Rojo)

And so is the life of these signs. Half of them are already gone! Weird. There used to be more of these boardy type pieces around - I think the department of Transportation must take them down, or fans. (Trusto Corp) (photo © Jaime Rojo)
