| Abandoned cup with straw. |
… when suddenly I saw this:
 |
| What's that?! |
"I've seen that face before", I thought to myself, and then I knew: "I don't have to worry what to write about the abandoned cup, I can write about the doDo bee graffiti off to the side of the cup, that appears here as well!"
So, this is a post about the doDo bee graffiti.
If you look closely at the doDo bee, you'll see that its body is a heart:
 |
| Heart. |
And the signature is hard to read. Maybe it's JeDo. Or deDo. I don't know. For now, I'm calling it doDo!
Then tonight, I saw this, also on East 6th Street:
 |
| This. |
I announced to my Snapchat followers that this was another doDo bee, but on closer inspection, I see that this is not the doDo bee, but an imposter!
The doDo bee graffitier is going to have to start putting a registered mark beside his work.
Sound advice, from East Village Today®!

UPDATE 4/29
After discussing this in the comments below, I am prepared to say that the last picture is a genuine doDo bee!

parts of the graffiti and stencil look the same and other parts do not - a tough call, EVT!
ReplyDeleteI-)
There are certainly similarities, and if doDo is using a stencil…
DeleteWait, I think I see it now: the lines in the bee's body in the pre-stencil works are dark; in the stencil, they're knocked out and the thicker areas are colored.
Don't know that I like this change much.
I think the tag is "* jeDo"? Could be?
ReplyDeleteCould the "*" in the tag be a flower?
DeleteI met the artist once... The stencil and the draw its by the same person, the body its a heart and the star its the compass rose.
ReplyDeletethanks, anon! it is always to cool to meet the artist.
