Bay Area artist Jeremy Novy has a cool project where he places stencils of payphones in now vacant phone booths. Might as well put something there!
In a similar series, he renovates boarded up buildings by adding pretty windows. Check out his renovation of the State Street Theatre in Milwaukee.

For Improv Everywhere’s latest mission, over 2,000 people walked “invisible dogs” down the streets of Brooklyn on a Sunday afternoon. The leashes were on loan from the current owner of 51 Bergen Street, the factory space where the invisible dog toy was invented in the 1970s. Participants of all ages spread out from Red Hook to Brooklyn Heights, very seriously walking their very silly dogs.
Washington, DC artist Mark Jenkins caught the attention of passersby with his “Sleepers” series where his trademark dummy figures (made of tape) appeared sleeping in odd places. Jenkins’ project was done in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art.
I’d like to take a second to welcome Alex Scordelis to Urban Prankster. Alex will be writing for the site from time to time starting tomorrow. Be on the lookout for his byline. You may already know Alex as the co-author of Causing a Scene.
