Reason #457 why I love New York City: Public art is inundated within the hustle and bustle of this urban jungle.

Albus Cavus

A collective of artists in New Jersey and DC. Some of the most mind-boggling, phantasmagoric public art that I have ever experienced. You can check them out at www.albuscavus.com or on their Flickr account.

I'm currently working on having them present a workshop for my students. Updates soon!
