Graffiti Alley

On my way to work every morning, I walk down a pedestrian alleyway that runs between two stores. The stores are nothing special; a Citibank and a restaurant called Central Kitchen. Over the past few months, the alleyway been painted over dozens of times by really amazing graffiti. I'm assuming it's sanctioned, as the graffiti is pretty professional-looking and stays up for weeks at a time. The art isn't limited to spray paint. There are posters as well. Here's a sampling from over the past few months:

First it's two images of rich Uncle Pennybags with fake "Community Chest" and "Chance" cards. The "Chance" card here reads "Your hedge fund is up 14%..." Nice.


Next, the boxer "Boom Boom" Mancini, who's somehow related to Pedro, I think...
