ADDITIONAL NOTES:

these ufo graffiti tags are favorites of mine to collect. most of the ones i've found are in industrial north williamsburg brooklyn and manhattan's meat packing district...

you can also see an alien make a cameo behind charlotte (kristin davis, above) in the new sex and the city season 6 promo (quicktime) on the brooklyn bridge, so i guess there's at least one in DUMBO that i still have to find. stay tuned...

I first remember seeing one of these tags outside the Subway (fast food, not MTA) on St. Mark's. They've gotten a little more sophisticated since then. nice shots, btw.

A collage of those would make a great poster. I'd buy it.

Quite a few of them look very similar to each other, I wonder if the same person did them.

i'd bet big money it's the same person --- well, at least the same team; it could be 2 or 3 people, but i think it's one. they're always in the same neighborhoods and they are very much the same: no mouth, three "lights", mostly six or seven tentacle-things, tho there is some variance:

there's the simple ufo, then sometimes it's colored in with some changes in the detail, and then there are really illustrated ones...

is this differentiation that of various individuals or of time available due to street location and population? it's a mystery...

I saw a really elaborate one while driving west down atlantic ave on the left near bedford stuy. i love them and would love to use them in some art, although i'm afraid to be tracked down at beaten by the artisits... haha.

I always look for these UFO guys when I am in Williamsburg, they make me smile. They always turn up in the most unexpected places!

UFO 907 hit Bangkok recently as well. I'm a New Yorker who currently lives in BKK, and was surprised to come across a few of these here. See the URL for a photo.
