Judith Supine Takes the Manhattan Bridge

It's three days after the fact, but Judith Supine still deserves an earth-shakingly loud shout-out for pulling the best street-art stunt of the summer. We already loved Supine's style—his collage creatures's disproportionate features, their vaguely anxious expressions, Supine's oft-flourescent-green skintones—but this past Sunday's feat has us completely bugging out. Look again at that above photo.

We've told you about Supine's background before, but in case you missed it the first time. Dude's got a long history of doing really mind-blowing shit: wheatpasting a Times Square army recruitment center, filming a short video that fast-forwards through his approach, inadvertently ending up on the Metro section of the New York Times as a target of the Spl—oh, you know who we mean.

So anyways, this past Sabbath, while you were still drooling on your pillow, Supine unfurled an awesomely large and detailed figure over the side of the Manhattan Bridge. And even though the piece apparently only hung there for a few hours (we'd love to get the tapes of those police phonecalls), the photographic documentation is just more evidence of the project's success. Supine's work has always been one of our favorites; this is just another reason why.

Miss us yet? No? Screw you too!

This stuff's been up in Williamsburg for a couple weeks, but Supine's stuff is so good, it demands multiple posts.

Hot Damn! Judith Supine's Bearded Bikini Lady and Crazy-Man Woodcut

Whoa. Such a good weekend for street-work hunting, our own personal version of exercise. We saw so much stuff wandering around that it was tough to figure out where to start, but these Judith Supine pieces are so great that we had to post them first. Supine's got a long history of doing really mind-blowing shit: wheatpasting a Times Square army recruitment center, posting a short video illustrating his process (yes, he's a boy), inadvertently ending up on the Metro section of the New York Times. Wooster popped up the bearded bikini last Thursday, but we're starting to realize that seeing street-art firsthand is like visiting the Grand Canyon or something — those snapshots look nice, but whoa-mama-shit, the reality's better.

That said, you're not gonna get the full effect from our snaps either. But check the detail on Supine's woodcuts, a material we'd never seen him use firsthand before this weekend. The one below on the Lower East Side has been there for about a month according to the date-stamp on the Flickr upload here. Up close, it looks kinda like Supine wheatpasted the painted paper on plywood, sawed out the figure's silhouette, then carved additional details into the piece after the fact. Either way, it's really 32 flavors of dopeitude. There's another really rad woodcut here too.
