We spotted these multi-colored yarn hearts on the chain link fence at 23rd and Valencia while shilling Sex Pigeon T-Shirts Sunday. In a way, this sensitive street artist has more balls than Banksy, since wrapping all that yarn must have taken at least 25 minutes of hard labor. Spray paint and stencils? 10 minutes. Tops.

There I said it, Banksy. Crochet a giant rat into a chain link fence and maybe I’ll change my mind.

P.S. Does anyone still want those shirts by the way? We can drag them out to that same intersection when the weather’s good. Just don’t look at us like we’re the scum of the earth when you walk by like 90% of the people on Sunday did, ok?

I checked through some municipal codes, and I’m happy to report that this move is legit. DPT is bound by law to honor it, I swear. Go to town.

OMFGNYC saw this and said: ”Don’t cry for me California.”

I see it and say, “Possibly a relative of Forlorn Candy Corn?”

Even better than the real thing? Because there is only one busload of tourists photographing them instead of three busloads? Am I right?

This is way better than that dumb Arcade Fire video everybody is telling you to watch today.

Wait, I know. Hey, Oddfellow, you dropped your feather.

Bold and brazen, she wasn’t fazed in the slightest by my photographic documentation of her criminal act.

Should I have stopped her?

UPDATE: Several of you have requested that I remove “Tubby” from the title, so in the interest of preventing a civil war on the server, I have acquiesced.  I’m not saying I agree with the morality police, and I’m probably still a jerk for posting it in the first place.  These facts remain despite the update.  I must say though that I don’t find it “hateful” (a very strong word) to call someone (who is spraying one of the ugliest tags I’ve ever seen–on my street no less)  “tubby” in a photograph where she can’t be identified (back to the camera).

Please continue to discuss in the comments; the ability of our readers to engage in rational discourse is my favorite part of this blog.

That stuff ain’t cheap! Maybe we should all try a little harder to appreciate the monetary lengths graffiti artists go to to keep our streets looking rad.

Apparently if you stare at it long enough, you’ll see a sailboat.

Relax your eyes.
