Mr. Brainwash at New York Design Week Brings Extravagance

Taking over boarded construction sites and gallery shows is Mr. Brainwash at New York Design Week. Admittedly, I think the best work of art is graffiti and anything abstract. Street art has become such a huge phenomena, and with good reasoning--badass attitudes mixed in with guerrilla warfare artwork is just sensational.

Mr. Brainwash at New York Design Week mixes in spray paint, animals made out of tires, oversized paint cans, quotes and snappy statements. The best part, according to Notcot, is the "life size NY taxi packaged in matchbox packaging with a Toys R Us price tag."
