Pushing It Forward — Illicit Creatives Making Their Mark in Brooklyn Open Spaces: Notice, Rams, Rakn, Qzar, Vods, Timer, Carve, Dase 429, Sokem, Sickpay and More

April 9, 2026

The strikingly bold rappel graffiti featured above was painted in Brooklyn by NYC’s Notice and New Zealand’s Rams MSK. Following are several more images of unsanctioned artworks — in our ongoing series, “Pushing It Forward…” — that have made their way onto Brooklyn’s open spaces. While some have surfaced within the past few months, others have been part of Brooklyn’s cityscape for years. All were recently captured.

North Philly Graffiti: Saoka, Imse, Busta, Desilmula, Michael Pistash, Tameartz, Seoz, Rams, Medic, Alex25, Veer & Easy B2B

January 2, 2020

Always a treasure trove of first-rate graffiti, North Philly’s 5th Street and Cecil B Moore, along with its immediate surroundings, has expanded since my last visit. There are now additional walls — curated by Tameartz —  in the new performance and event venue, Sunflower Philly. Featured above is the work of Philly-based Saoka DRR with Imse DBR to his right. What follows are several more murals that I came upon last week in the general location:
