in response to found manifesto/london plane

elaine: cooool! i love the vivid blue sky

in response to Airplane Wing Photos

Peter: everyone likes tree-bark textures. i certainly do. trees rule.

in response to found manifesto/london plane

Peter: hardly, if youre smart and know how to act. safety issues in nyc, especially the outter boros, are greatly overblown. its not the 1970s anymore :)

in response to My House in Bushwick

Anonymous (dynamic-62-56-58-56.park-s46b.dslaccess.co.uk): these boys probably, for instance

in response to The Black Sea: Water Slide in Varna

elaine: i can't even justify it, whys and wherefores, but it just seemed to hang, so i hadda go with it

elaine: greasy looks worldly wise. in the first shot he looks like he is thinking the bikes, in the style of a soviet poster, whereas in the second shot he knows about the bikes but he is saying something else to you, he is, perhaps, nodding, and saying 'yeah, pete, i...

RACHEL: I plan to attend school in Manhattan and live in a house in Bushwick. I am Japanese-American. I would be riding the J train between 9-11pm 6 days a week. should I worry about safety?

Peter: more Greasy:

in response to Cat in a Bicycle Junkyard

elaine: i think the phrase right mind is highly subjective here

in response to The Black Sea: Water Slide in Varna

Peter: totally. i mean, its obviously abandoned or disused, but even so... when it was operating, who in their right mind would slide down a slide into that weird enclosure at teh bottom? i guess theyve done it that way to allow one to slide in high or low tide, but...

in response to The Black Sea: Water Slide in Varna

Peter: if i were a bird, i probably wouldnt mind hanging out in a place like that.

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

Peter: nice. this was a cool idea. i like posts that have a creative twist to them, like this one :)

in response to found manifesto/london plane

elaine: hate to break it to you, but it's not all birds a'course, i don't know how many s/he has in there...

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

Peter: thats alot of birds! wow!

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

elaine: ok i will definately buy that, it's the best i have heard so far, and there are gypsies in kent all right. and there is precedent, in lowland scots the term gadge or gadgee for a bloke is straight from romany. well done, that etymologist!

in response to Falling in Love Across The West Midlands

elaine: and here is a pet bird location for ya

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

Jamie: Many consider the term chav to have come from nineteenth-century Romany language, either from chavi, meaning "male child" (chavo similarly meaning "female child", and chal meaning "boy"), or from chavvy, meaning "mate" or "friend" (usually in the sense of "fellow Roma", and hence used as a pejorative for all Roma...

jeeff: more in-depth answer: i use a wacom graphics tablet to allow me to draw onto my computer. i use adobe photoshop, corel painter and alias sketchbook pro for various functions. for reference, i use photos taken from my digital camera, as well as photos from images.google.com and in...

in response to Cat in a Bicycle Junkyard

jeeff: it's funny, when the promo posters came out for that movie, the day after tomorrow, they put the one with the eiffel tower up all over tokyo. everyone in japan just assumed it was the tokyo tower.

in response to tokyo tower

jeeff: here's a photo from my tokyo guidebook (let's go tokyo - highly recommended to travellers!). it shows the plane suspended in the middle.

in response to big architecture

buzz: thanx 4 the tipz this has been real helpful for me

in response to Wheatpasting: How to

Peter: heh heh!

in response to Anti-Climb Paint

Peter: wow, just wow. thats quite a structure... that last shot is nice, too, as you can see the repeating, dense complexity of the structure. ive never seen or heard of this tower before. now i have. thanks jeeff!

in response to tokyo tower

Peter: jeeff, i love entries like this. great photos, plus you get to read captions for them. it reads like a book. i especially love the fuji tv headquarters. that building is a trip... and i got a kick out of you mentioning seeing airplanes suspended between structures... i do that...

in response to big architecture

Peter: look what I passed again today, on the way to the train:

in response to Bajan Night Ryder Auto Club

Peter: ive seen that first one! before it faded, even... the part at the bottom were the feet of an owl-like creature, the top was clouds. apparently, the red/orange color that made up the creature faded/washed away leaving it as it looks. i forget where it is (on park or vanderbilt?)...

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

Peter: yay thats my neighborhood too! :D :D did you happen to catch the hennessy billboard before the ad was put up and it had graffiti tags on it? that was pretty cool. i love that area of flatbush and prospect heights in general...

in response to Flatbush Avenue

jeeff: tighty?

in response to Brooklyn: Inkheads

jeeff: vandalene sounds like something sold by art vandelay industries.

in response to Anti-Climb Paint

Jamie: i think it is originally a pikey thing, is it not?

in response to Falling in Love Across The West Midlands

Captain Svejk: I came across the stuff by accident, honest guv. It has the consistency of silicone grease and it's as nasty and black as the muck you get on bicycle chains or car hub caps. It's an absolute bugger to get off. Sand or sawdust would just mix in, even if you...

in response to Anti-Climb Paint

Captain Svejk: Hey, these are great. I've been looking for stuff like this - where's this thrift store?

in response to London & Venice, Rediscovered

arquitecto: Analicemos el asunto: "un hombre, solo, construye una catedral con sus propias manos sin licencia y en definitiva al margen de la ley". La ley existe por algún motivo, no por inspiración divina. Las catedrales románicas se construían por maestros canteros, escultores, constructores, ... que SI tenian formación, no tan restrictiva...

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Anonymous (cpe-24-90-253-77.nyc.res.rr.com): yo, why you sweatin my man inkhead's nuts for? theres a ton of great graffiti everywhere. Discriminate, and appreciate more. I like that flick of O! and cs, thats oro 1, rest in peace, cs prolly bigged him up there. say it nosy...yeaaahh eeeeehhhhh your bike is sooo cool, i have a 1962...

in response to Brooklyn: Labor Day 2004

stoopidoodoodumb: that is inkhead...not inkheads. this mistake is made by people who don't know shit about shit. Inkheads IHS is a crew from new york/miami that really came out in miami, but crushed it in NYC also. InkHead IHone is a singular entity, no plural about it sucka. woops, i said...

in response to Brooklyn: Inkheads

dee cap: miracles of miracles. i was back at the urban ore on saturday, yesterday. i took another photo of our elephant friend. and you know what? the elephant did take a step forward and the rider ducked under the wire. he ventured to walk up murray steet. unharmed
