Banksy's Day 24 Artwork on the Gate of Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Hell's Kitchen

Banksy, on his 24th day of "Better Out Than In" street art residency in New York City streets yesterday created this artwork on the gate of Larry Flynt's Hustler Club at 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen. His caption of the work reads, "Waiting in vain...at the door of the club." Banksy is a pseudonymous United Kingdom-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. For street art lovers, Banksy's month-long street art show is a fun idea, part scavenger hunt, part mystery, part gallery show. His works around the city have consistently drawn crowds, photographers and confused passersby. Not far from the artwork is an enterprising fan who was banking on Banksy by selling magnets that feature an image of the Hustler Club gate art.

The Chrysler Building in midtown Manhattan is one of the most recognizable structures in Manhattan because of its art deco, terraced crown. There are two sets of lighting in the top spires and decoration, the V-shaped lighting inserts in the steel of the building itself, and the floodlights that are on mast arms directed back at the building. These images were made one rainy, foggy night from 43rd Street just west of Grand Central Terminal Terminal.

Mott Street (Chinatown)

Mott Street is a busy and narrow street in Chinatown that runs in a north-south direction in Manhattan. It is also considered Chinatown's unofficial "Main Street". It is one of the original three streets that formed the core of Chinatown in the mid to late 1800s. Mott Street runs from Chatham Square in the south to Bleecker Street in the north. It is a one-way street, southbound. Like many streets in Lower Manhattan that predated the street grid system, Mott Street meandered around natural features of the landscape rather than running through or over them.
