Sevillian Operations

So how does street art in Seville compare to NYC? Most certainly in quantity. The river bank houses a graffiti collection that rivals that of 5 pointz in Queens-and unlike 5 pointz, these artists aren't commissioned to scratch up walls. There aren't too many wheatpastes or installations to be found, but, these Sevillians sure can paint.

Cereal Killers

Who doesn't love cereal?!
This is a fun mural up in Williamsburg, combining what must be the artist's greatest life passions; art and cereal. If you ever thought those sweet voiced cartoony mascots had a dark side, well, you're not alone. 

Up on top, Sunny runs an operation that turns grapes into raisins.
 Obviously, a guy like that is packing heat.

 
Trix are for kids, not gangstas!
Even though he's armed, silly rabbit only got to eat 2 bowls of cereal in his lifetime, once in 1976 and once in 1980.
 
Wendell, Bob and Quello
Wendell is the guy who's been cooking up the cereal since 1987. Bob and Quello are just freeloaders.



There's only room for bird in this biz.

Snap. Born in 1933, he's older than crackle and pop.



I vant to eat your cereal!
Count Chocula has been a cereal vampire since 1971.

Buzz Bee
Born in the 70's disco era, Buzz Bee never leaves the hive without his white sneakers.
If his voice sounds familiar, it's because he shares it with "Phillip J. Fry" from Futurama, and the Red M&M. All three are voiced by Billy West.


Cap'n Crunch
Since 1963, Cap'n Horatio Crunch has been sailing the SS Guppy. His mission is to keep his cargo of crunchy cereal from falling into the hands of Jean LaFoote, the Barefoot Pirate.

L.C. "Lucky" Leprechaun was born in 1964.
He was the first to put marshmallows in cereal, and has been voiced by the same man, Arthur Anderson since 1964.
Quentin Tarantino is fan, putting a box of lucky charms at the end of "Kill Bill Vol. 2".

Family Dinner With Fumero

Artist: Michael Fumero
Born and raised in NYC, Mischael Fumero attended art school at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. There he began developing his family themed drawings. Anxious to have his art seen by the public, and discouraged by the lack of oppurtunity in the gallery world, Fumero came up with his family around the table drawing and began pasting it up all over New York City. He drew this design from his own experiences of the kitchen table bringing family together. He emphasizes that a strong family unit nurtures and creates strong individuals.


Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Matt Groening

Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.
Robert Frost


   Father: Don't you think our son gets all his brains from me?
   Mother: Probably, dear. I still have all of mine. 

                            Michael: G.O.B., you've found a woman who believes in you. You should make           
                     a commitment to her because life is short. Listen to me, I would give anything to be
able to have that again, you know? A family. Nothing else matters.
          Lucille: Michael?
           Michael: It's mom. Hide.

       Barry Zuckerkorn: It would help if you all showed up, looking like a loving, supportive family.
    Lucille: For how long?
                  Barry Zuckerkorn: Ten minutes tops.
                  Lucille: See if you can get it down to five.


          Michael: What have we always said is the most important thing?
         George Michael: Breakfast
               Michael: Family.
                  George Michael: Oh right. Family. I thought you meant of the things you eat.


Families stick up for eachother in Williamsburg.


Non family piece by Michael Fumero, unless of course it's his ancestor.
