This beautiful old style postcard mural by artist Jim Kovic is on the corner of Ocean and Peninsula Avenues in Sea Bright, NJ. Sea Bright is a cute little seaside town with a beautiful beach. It was hit very hard by hurricane Sandy in 2012 but got nicely back on it's feet. Worth a visit!

Street Art: Live your Dream

Live Your Dream, Bowery & Spring, Manhattan, NYC, USA

OK, so this is technically not street art. It's good old graffiti. But I still love it because of the message. It was on the Germania Bank building at 190 Bowery which has been a graffiti and street art covered private residence for years.

I spotted this birdie on the bay side of one of Sandy Hook's fantastic beaches. The 7-mile stretch of ocean and beaches are about an hour's ferry ride from Manhattan. Definitely worth a visit!

Bar Nana, Chelsea, New York City, USA

Interesting street art on Bar Nana's entrance on Gansevoort Street, Manhattan. The style inside the club, which combines South American and French influences, is worlds away from the entrance.

Street Art: Old Woman


Old Woman, Bowery & Spring, New York City, USA

190 Bowery is an interesting building. The Germania bank was built around 1890 and has been a graffiti and street art covered private residence for years. It's just been sold and will probably be turned into condos in the near future. The graffiti and street art on this building are incredible - especially if you move in close and focus on detail, like this old women's face.
