Maybe we speak for you too when we say that living in New York has got us jaded by a lot of the no-style-having slop we see scrawled across building facades and mailboxes to appreciate what we once were devout followers of, street art and graffiti. Yes, of course we still love and appreciate the art, those are our peoples, we just hadn’t seen much that had caught our eye recently until one of those above-mentioned mailboxes holla’d. Like, literally barked a “yo” at me from across the block! When I turned around to check who it was, I caught it’s gaze aimed right at my behind with those big-ass googly eyes.
Strategically placed, usually in duos these eyeballs grace the faces of so many inanimate street objects and have brought some of our favorite fictitious characters to life; Casper the Friendly Ghost, Hammerhead from Star Wars (below) and the loveable Cookie Monster (the brotha that hollered) to name a few.
The Googly Eye Cru (as stated in the iris) is popping up everywhere these days and from what we know is a crew of members littered across the country in Seattle, San Francisco, and of course, New York. Another thing we know: The members of the G.E.C. are predominantly female. Dope!
