I came across Rebecca Adams‘ work on BOOOOOOM! this week. And Since I haven’t lifted anything from that site in a while, I thought I would share. The dramatic lighting in these quasi-photo realistic paintings, coupled with the monochromatic format really does it for me. See more here.

Some really good new stuff has gone up in the city in the past week. I took the opportunity yesterday to snap some of it. One of my favorites, is the Invader piece above. I also included a shot of the finished Hurricane Sandy tribute piece below, for which Swoon contributed the central figure.
And…. some additional invader pieces.
As an FYI, Animal posted the locations of each of the Invaders, over here.
The funny part about this, is that I walked right past this spot an hour before when I was snapping the new Swoon piece down the block. Anyway, here is a view from across Houston Street, of Banksy’s Reaper installation. Since I had my cam with me, I shot this quick vid. When we first started observing, the reaper in the bumper car was driving to the soundtrack of a live accordion player. Then, smoke machines went on, and so did the track “baby don’t fear the reaper.” That is the segment in the video below.
With only a week left in the month of October, and after yesterday’s efforts were apparently thwarted by “police activity,” Banksy put up this gem today. It is definitely my favorite, to date, from the “Better Out Than In” campaign that the artist has been waging on the City of New York. Not only is it a beautiful piece, but the context is everything. It is located on one of the roll up doors at Larry Flint’s Hustler Club.

Swoon is currently working on a Hurricane Sandy themed mural, on the famous Houston and Bowery. She is one of my all time faves. Photo courtesy of Animal.
I spent some time upstate last weekend in God’s country. The leaves are in their full autumnal glory right now. The weather was surprisingly mild (shorts and t-shirt). But that didn’t stop us from building a fire in the evenings.
I got this idea from a friend a few years ago. When I use the cam on my phone, I tend to snap 5-10 frames. So when I lumped all of them into a video, it came out like a flip book or stop motion. This vid is actually a bit over a year worth of images from my phone. Each image appears for .3 of a second, yet still comes out on the long side of 10 mins. Anyway, this is probably the most personal thing that I have posted since Jan or Feb of 2012. So, try not leave any hate comments.
1 year worth of iPhone photos. from Jacob Breinholt on Vimeo.
I’m seriously digging this new piece in Austria by Bezt (from Etam Cru). Especially, I love the subtlety of the fish.
In other news, Banksy put up a pretty dramatic piece in the LES today. It is my favorite so far, from his ‘better out than in’ campaign. The funny part is that he took down a Hot Tea piece that used to be on that gate. What is also funny, is that I snapped a photo in that same alley earlier this year.
So, everyone has probably heard now that Banksy is in town. I wasn’t able to see this piece that went up yesterday. It was buffed pretty quickly. Actually, Animal has the full story. Anyway, the piece above went up this morning about 5 blocks away, and I was able to snap these images. I’m excited to see what he has lined up next for the “Better out than in” campaign.
I feel like I have reposted enough stuff from Boooooom! lately, that I may as well just stream Jeff’s RSS right into this page hahahaha. Anyway, I am really into these drawings and painting by Mandy Tsung. Check out some more of Her work over here.
