Clayton Patterson Lego Figure

Lucy van Pelt said: "How can you say someone is great who's never had his picture on bubblegum cards"?

While true in the 1960s, today, in the 21st century, you know you've made it when they make a Lego figure out of you!

Presenting (on St. Mark's Place), Clayton Patterson:

Clayton Patterson Lego figure.

Lego riot in a public station
gonna fight and tear it up
in a hyper nation for you

More obscure references than you can shake a stick at!

Leave LegoMan Alone!

I post about this small piece of wall on East 4th Street so often, I'm thinking of starting a new blog devoted to it!

I think I'll call it: thissmallpieceofwall.com

Everyone knows the LegoMan / IsThatPhoebe / Humen Bote / Eiffel Tower Postcard / graffiti wall, right?

Take a look are what happened to Lego Man:

J.R. "Bob" Dobbs face sticker.

There's a J.R. "Bob" Dobbs face on him! Who even knew sub-geniuses were still a thing?!

Five short days later, the sticker was gone:

Sticker is gone.

But the cat was out of the bag, so to speak — LegoMan can no longer remain unsullied:

Sullied.

It's like My Favorite Martian meets Bender!

Humen Bote

This morning, as I walked past the East 4th Street Lego Man again, something jumped out at me.

No, not a mugger! It was the very groovy skeleton graffiti sticker!

See it?

Here is a close-up:

Close-up.

My first thought was to write "Groovy Skeleton and IsThatPhoebe, sitting in a tree…", but then I found out something amazing: The groovy skeleton is done by an eight-year-old boy!

It's true! His father wheat-pastes them up around the city!

Thanks to JodoNYC, official graffitier of East Village Today,  for that information.

Watch Out, Lego Man!

I was walking down Avenue B a couple of weeks ago, when I saw Lego Man about to step into a hole:

Watch out, Lego Man!

Not just a hole, but a hole directly above cellar doors!

Last week, on East 4th Street, I saw him again:

Watch out, Lego Man!

Lego Man is here to warn us of the dangers of eating ice cream and walking — it's almost as dangerous as texting and walking!
