Some super, bright new type created by EINE in Miami last week.

Saturday at ICY SIGNS (200 Livingston Street, Brooklyn), Stephen Powers and Todd James will be exhibiting 5400 sq. feet of paintings and signs from MOCA’s Art in The Streets show. Looks like a super event. If you can’t make it, check out this great talk with Powers from VICE, or read more about Powers’s newest public project, Love Letter to Brooklyn.

Amazing prayer wheel by Faile spotted in Williasmburg recently. Love this stuff, particularly Temple. See more prayer wheels here.

Really enjoying Stephen Powers’s Daily Metaltations, updated just about daily at the artist’s blog. And if you haven’t seen Powers’s Love Letter to You project, stop what you’re doing and look right now. Update: Photos of Powers’s inspiring studio space at The Selby (2/22/11 at 1:30pm).

Thanks to some unseasonably warm weather, the snow in Brooklyn has finally melted, leaving behind mounds of gray garbage and swirling dust clouds — the result of weeks without street cleaning. El Celso’s fluorescent street art, inspired by Peruvian chicha-style posters, offers a welcomed break from the gray on Metropolitan Ave.
