The remains of Brooklyn’s disappearing industrial waterfront
Graffiti artists had begun covering the empty warehouse in elaborate murals, and in 2016, a partial vacate order was placed on the buildings next door for illegal dumping of asbestos and other hazardous waste. Several other major violations were also cited in 2016 at the property’s southernmost warehouses, which had become a canvas for large-scale graffiti works. None of these violations appear to have been resolved, and the entire campus is currently being left wide open to the elements.

Vagabundos & Dragonfly by Venom
Yesterday I had the opportunity to paint at a cd presentation of a locally known band, Vagabundos. Besides the great music, all kinds of acts were there, including a fire-show, all kinds of water themed games (the weather was blistering hot), several top dj's from the underground dub-scene, good food from a Brazilian chef and free for those with a red wristband. :-) So there. It was a great day. :-) Edit: pesky form again. :-)
