Artists Emerge From Hibernation

This was a long, cold Winter in the East Village, and a lot of street artists were inside, staying warm. Now that the temperatures are rising again, they're emerging from their caves, and getting back to work!

I was walking across East 2nd Street yesterday morning, past where street work is being done at Avenue B, when I saw this:

Street art on concrete slab.

Apparently, the workers liked the painting so much that they put up their equivalent of the red velvet rope: the yellow caution tape!

"Stand back from the painting, please"… in the East Village Today!
