Last weekend you may recall I went to see the new Banksy at the Bowery Wall. My NYC blogger friends, Justin and Lynn of Madhatters NYC, wrote a great, informative post on the history of the Bowery Wall that I highly recommend.
The Bowery Wall is an NYC icon. There’s another mural wall just a few blocks south that has yet to reach icon status. (I’m tempted to make a Tiffany and Ivanka analogy here…but I don’t want my blog sullied with their dad’s name…)
Rivington Street Wall
Just a little street art toddler, this wall has been dedicated to street art since only 2014 thanks to Coburn Projects. There is always some colorful work featured here. Currently Nina Pandolfo is the featured artist.
Doe-eyed doll heads, this work calls to mind Snapchat filters and Margaret Keane’s Big Eyes paintings. Hitting that sweet spot of cute and creepy, you can find this work at Rivington and Bowery on the Lower East Side. Walk two blocks down from your Bowery Banksy visit and check out this street art Jan Brady!

Thanks so much for sharing our post! We’re familiar with this mural. Perhaps TOO familiar, since it’s located across from Morgenstern’s, one of our favorite ice cream joints in the city 😉
And I totally agree with the Big Eyes reference. There are probably some Japanese anime influences too!
