Pictured above is New York–based artist Brandon Sines‘ visual ode to NYC featuring his beloved, magical creation Frank Ape. What follows are several more homages to NYC off and on Houston Street that I captured this past Sunday.

The legendary Bronx-based artist John “Crash” Matos salutes the late Keith Haring in his ode to Downtown NYC. This mural also appears on the walls of the Ridge Hotel directly off East Houston Street.
