In his signature illustrative style, Sheffield-based Phlegm was busy these past two days gracing a huge wall in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn with his mesmerizing characters, books-in-hand. These images were captured yesterday.
And here’s a close-up:

Brilliant pictures. Great to see a brand new Phlegm piece – thanks for posting them.
The objects in the figures’ hands look more like phones / tablets to me. I wonder if it’s another comment on people’s use of technology, like this previous piece in Sheffield called Isolated together? http://hairbyslice78.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/isolated-together-by-phlegm/
That is so interesting! I’m hoping they’re books. But you may be right! Lois
An unusual connection there with another piece of Phlegm’s work – he painted a mural in Bantry which is on the Sheep’s Head Way walking route in County Cork, Ireland. I wonder if this Sheepshead Bay has a historical connection with people from Cork’s Sheep’s Head peninsula?
