John&Yoko Monogatari

Genji Monogatari

I found this piece of street art painted on a stripe of grey plastic tape and I pulled it off a black steel gate housing and put it on a cardboard and brought it home and restored the chipping enamel paint and I have been wanting someting by this guy since I saw his cloud sign on the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan bridge and he paints clouds and they sort of remind me of the clouds I used to throw into drawings in College after reading all 2,000 and whatever pages of The Tale of Genji which was illustrated with cloud filled pictures from some floating world , but his metal signs are glued onto the sign poles with industrial adhesive and therefore difficult and conspicuous to remove and I thought I might get arrested for vandalizing vandalization and this tape was a more or less moveable feast and how perfect to find it after yoko’s sky hole and this thing was about the size of a book mark any way, so it read like a bookmark in the street …. the heel is mine.
