Joshua Allen Harris has created some fantastic New York street art: a playful adaption of Marilyn Monroe's famous scene in The Seven Year Itch in the form of animals made out of shopping bags positioned on subway street grates that cause them to periodically inflate and animate.
"I remember driving around the valley as a kid, staring tiredly out the window of my mom’s Mazda Protegé, disgusted by the graffiti that littered Rosco Blvd, the three-letter gang tags haphazardly sprayed upon the walls often crossed out and covered over by a rival gang. I remember thinking it to be like dogs marking their territory, and I always thought it looked ugly.
"Twenty years later, and for some reason unknown to me, I don’t see nearly as much of that junk graffiti. What I do see is a movement of artists using the urban landscape as their canvas, blessing cities with a sense of wonder and awe. I’ve just recently entered this rabbithole and I am enamoured by the beauty and baffled by the vision of these clever zealots.
So why not take a second to revel at the imagination and vision of these captivating urban artists. Let the yarn bombing and graffiti animation begin… Oh, and don’t forget about the inflatables. You’ve got to see this.
