Artist d.billy installed this sign in Central Park recently. Be there Thursday at 2 PM with a magnifying glass to check it out! (Though be careful not to melt the participants.)

d.billy added tags reading “past,” “present,” and “future” to three payphones in the Times Square subway station. So if you’ve ever wanted to give the past of the future a ring, now’s your chance.
Brooklyn street artist D.Billy recently executed two new “conversions” in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn artist D.Billy has created several site-specific installations around the city using balloons as his primary medium.
He writes:
Using colorful media such as twisting balloons, party streamers, and artist tape, I have begun to add visual representations of sound effects to public spaces as a sort of dimensional graffiti. After embellishing the found scenes and photographing the results, I leave my additions in place to engage passers-by for as long as the materials hold up. For me, this process encourages a reexamination of surroundings and objects that are usually taken for granted, and injects a hint of the fantastical surreality that I have established in my other work.
Or, at the very least, I hope someone thinks these things are kind of funny.
