Turning Vandalism Into Art

At first sight, it appears as if some vandal punched this spider and broke the glass, knowing that the shatter effect would create a web for the spider, at Stromboli Pizza on St. Mark's Place and First Avenue:

Yellow spider on broken-glass web.

Thinking about it for a moment though, it's clear that some clever artist put a spider appliqué on top of the already-broken glass!

All the world's a canvas… in the East Village!
