NYC Street Series: "Lafayette Street Girl"

Air Massive sister website Global Graphica, as usual, has some awesome new photos of street art and graf from New York City and Paris. Their recent post and photo on a street artwork called "Lafayette Street Girl" just caught our eye. Here's the text from the site (photo courtesy of Ivan Corsa, aka "Supercore") ...

Love this. That instance when you experience that mix of surprise and excitement you feel when you see a clever or beautiful piece of street art (or art in general, or anything, for that matter) -- that's what we felt when we saw this wheat-paste of a girl's face on Lafayette Street in Soho, New York City. (We've dubbed her "Lafayette Street Girl.") Note the the Sharpie marker tag/graf scrawled on her forward. Since we snapped this shot a few days ago, we've seen this wheat-paste elsewhere downtown, more precisely, we saw her in the chic Nolita nabe, where apartments and lofts are now very valuable New York real estate.

So true.
