BSA Images Of The Week: 08.27.23

August 27, 2023 Artists, BSA Images Of The Week

Welcome to BSA Images of the Week!

Rhyming and Stealing:
Trumps Furrowed Brow and a Wallaby’s Bounce

COVID returns,
a haunting refrain,
a city once healed,
now facing new pain,

Manhattan’s rich streets,
where fortunes are rife,
High prices, no mercy,
cut deep like a knife.

Bob Barker’s last bargain,
His century bright
When fighting for Fido
The price was just right

So Bloop’s in Ibiza,
and Martha hits Mostar
Ford’s running with money
but doesn’t get too far

Six new BRICS nations,
Allegiances knit
Concur with A. Oliver
The dollar ain’t sh*t

From southern Atlanta,
US history spun,
Trump scowls in his mug shot,
His efforts undone.

R. Rainbow sings Barbra,
Says its all funny, gurl,
and you’d like to laugh
but most likely hurl

But a wallaby at Coney,
over the weekend is happy
rescued from the boardwalk
with “a nice personality”

Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring: De Grupo, JPS, The Postman, Savior El Mundo, DrscØ, Hektad, Buttsup, MCA, Fumeroism, Ottograph, and Lysefjorden.

BSA Images Of The Week: 09.12.21

September 12, 2021 Artists, BSA Images Of The Week

Welcome to BSA Images of the Week. Our hearts and minds are heavy and quiet this weekend as we contemplate the two decades and lost lives and liberties since September 11, 2001.

It’s impossible to know what the world would have looked like had those fateful events not taken place twenty years ago, and only a handful would have predicted that it would have been used as a springboard for more wars that cost more lives. As the country pulls out of Afghanistan so badly and obviously, a real examination of the soul is taking place. There is no real purpose served by trying to extricate the pain of loss locally from those sufferred globally as a result of the events of September 11th, except for us New Yorkers to reflect on how our city is forever changed. Thankfully, New Yorkers prove time and again that we are also forever determined to overcome and to come together.

Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring BAT, Below Key, BK Foxx, Chris RWK, Chupa, De Grupo, Early Riser NYC, Fumero, Futura, Hand Up, Manik, Modomatic, Naito Oru, Pope, Rezo, and Toofly.

Street Artists At The Fairs For Armory Week NYC 2014

March 4, 2014 Artists

Not quite spring, the Art Fairs are arriving in New York ahead of the tulips. We strolled the impossibly long aisles and peered into the booths to find the folks who have at other times been called “Street Artists”. This weekend they’ll be fine artists, and the list is quite a bit longer than years past as the professionalization of the street continues.

Shows like the Armory, Scope, Volta, and Fountain are good testing venues to see the commercial viability for many of these artists and some have foregone representation – preferring to foot the bill on their own. Since walking the streets to see their work requires multiple layers and hats and gloves – traipsing through the fairs can be far preferable than dirty old Brooklyn streets. It’s also nice to see how some of these folks look in a tie or a blouse – or even just hit a comb. Here below we include some possible gems for you to hunt down.
