fight the vampire squid: #occupywallstreetmollycrabapple: My attempt at creating a funny little stencil/protest sign for Occupy Wall Street Not filling things with girlthings and curlicues is deeply against my nature, so I suggest artists actually good at the Bold and Graphic try their own.  But hope mine works. Use, post, stick on everything, make into stickers, spraypaint on walls, put on signs.  And thanks Matt Taibbi for the vampire squid-ness DOWNLOAD BIG VERSION HERE HERE’S HOW TO MAKE A STENCIL DOWNLOAD VECTOR VERSION HERE

i want to go see this. nickkahler: Jimmy Bumble and Leonard White, Brooklyn Griffin, 2011 (via nytimes) “Perched high above an industrial stretch of East Williamsburg, a menacing robot nine feet high and seven feet wide surveys the street below, watching cars steal past graffitied factory buildings as if they were prey. Its fierce head sways and dips when a wooden rudder protruding from the back of its neck catches the breeze. This is the Brooklyn Griffin. It almost never was. An earlier edition was destroyed on orders from an unsympathetic building manager.”
