It's been a year since the New York Times profiled Revs, NYC's metal sculpting graffiti kingpin. Looks like he hasn't slowed down-- Tenement City spotted the amazing "No Future" piece above this weekend in Greenpoint. The one next to it is from Soundklash's photosteam-- but it's not clear where it's from. And if you happen to be in DUMBO tomorrow, don't miss out on the classic red robot that's been running on Pearl Street for the last couple of years. Have you spotted any other robots around?
Related: the Revs page at Streetsy has a lot of his metal work. This Gothamist post has some more Revs links.
