Summer Of Jim Joe

The Summer of 2010 is shaping up to be the Summer of Jim Joe, at least below 14th Street. In addition to reaching the subways, cell phone towers and empty roof lines in Lower Manhattan, the at large graffiti enthusiast seemed never to miss an opportunity to sign his name on every piece of disposed street furniture all over the Lower East Side, Little Italy, Soho and Chinatown. Whether offering a bit of wisdom, leaving an illustration, simply signing his name or encouraging you to call, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who has not seen Joe's handiwork.

View a photo album at NYC The Blog's Facebook page containing 36 photos selected to represent a decent cross collection of all Jim Joe's varied tags seen around Manhattan this year.

Keeping Up With The Jim Joeses

Seen high above Delancey Street, Jim Joe tagged both sides of this building, and the water tower for good measure! See his tags on the easterly side of the building below.

Jim Joe Is The Wurst

The work of Montreal born dope supporter and graffiti writer Jim Joe is ubiquitous on the streets of Manhattan. And not just the usual areas downtown...he even hits midtown on occasion. And as people tend to be to themselves, Joe is his harshest critic; he thinks he is the wurst.

Jim Joe Likes His Dope

Montreal born Jim Joe, downtown Manhattan's public penmanship scribbler, has as of late been very active. If you've been below Houston Street, chances are you've seen the ubiquitous '1-800-Jim-Joe' or simply, 'Jim Joe,' scribbled on any available surface. 

He's since begun elaborating his scribbles, leaving varying statements along many neighborhoods in the area. Above, Jim Joe declared his love of dope on Spring Street at Lafayette. Fortunately for Jim Joe, if he ever needs help kicking a habit, the New York City Department of Health can assist him.
