For the third consecutive year, dozens of talented artists graced the walls of the Welling Court neighborhood of Astoria, Queens with a diverse range of images. We visited several times this past week beginning with the day before the Welling Court Mural Project, organized by Ad Hoc Art, held its official opening. On our most recent visit, we had the chance to observe and speak to neighborhood residents – all of whom expressed tremendous pride in their neighborhood’s visual landscape (and curiosity, as well, about the artists). Here are a few images whose progress we observed:
New Jersey-based Joe Iurato aka .01
Ecuadorian native Toofly with See One to the left of final image
Brooklyn-based Chris Cardinale
Brooklyn-based Katie Yamasaki with background by Caleb Neelon
Munich-based Flying Fortress with Deeker, Dark Clouds, Cost and Keely in final image
Singapore native Sheryo with Never and The Yok in final image
