Whilst in New York earlier this September I was taught about the mosaic man after mentioning to a family that I had seen mosaics on lamp posts, bins and building all over the east village.
I was told that his name is Jim Powers and that he had been morphing ordinary street surfaces into lively sidewalk art for the last 20 years. they told me thqat the mosacis I had seen are part of the now infamous “Mosaic Trail” that spans from the Lower East Side running from Broadway down Eighth Street to Avenue A, to Fourth Street and then back to Eighth Street.
I am really impressed by this work and am amazed that I never knew about it before my trip...
