dumbnyc – thanks for the photos, but you have to just go see it in person. The photos don't do the artwork justice. Especially with the woman's face that is painted as well — there is just so much detail and color and depth. And to think it's all done with spray paint is just amazing.

Casper, your comment makes me want to walk over to dumbo tonight and make some “street art” in your honor. I also hope you were just being wity…because it’s easy to say that Dumbo is much more of a place for artists than yuppies and their condos…and art galleries that host exhibitions of the so-called “vandals”. Fuggedaboutit!!!

dear dumbo residents, please open your minds and stop judging each other based on superficialities. what we don’t know about each other far surpasses what we could ever possibly guess or what we think we know (and are usually wrong about). a truly diverse neighborhood (this is what we’re looking at) is rare and precious, lets keep it that way via tolerance. some opinions are inexperienced, some are materialistic, some are visionary, some are practical. it takes all kinds… stereotyping is the result of a lack of imagination and dumbo need never suffer from that.

Adam, FYI your wall has been restored to as good as new in less than 24 hours after the “lazy” tagging. Good for you artists, keep it going!

Um, thinking grafitti isn’t such a good idea is a capitalist, Republican idea?

And without pinstriped lawyers and overbearing Wall Street types (who aren’t all robotic republicans with no appreciation for or experience with art and culture BTW) who would buy all the DUMBO artists’ art?

tim was serious? I thought “novelty ghetto” was the hint he was being facetious.

vegetarian with leather boots? there are several reasons people choose vegetarian diets, not all of them related to the ethics of murdering animals. weak metaphor.

Kind words, kind words.. especially from Melanie. That kind of open-minded, pioneer spirit is what Dumbo is all about. I’d bet $1000 that Melanie doesn’t have a Bugaboo, and instead uses a sling to carry around her organic diaper wearing, home-schooled baby. Lovely.

Commenters like Tim are a blight on this community. This type of hyper-capitalist, Republican neanderthal is pouring cold water on everything that was good in Dumbo.

We mustn’t let gentrification destroy this neighborhood. How long before we’re all submerged in a swamp of Bugaboo-driving nannies, pinstriped lawyers and overbearing Wall St types. The whole point of Dumbo was that it was different, we have to keep fighting to keep these people out.
