Dr. Atkins Goes Tagging

Graffiti found on the Manhattan Bridge walking path...

The last one is a little hard to read and I didn't want to over Photoshop it. It says:

jello 0 carbs

cheeseburger
11 carbs

mushrooms
12 carbs

New Yorkers should be on the lookout for a particularly thin person with a can of spray paint and an evil glint in their eye.

At the York Street stop platform in DUMBO is grafitti that reads "bagels = carbs". I had no idea there's more "carb" grafitti.

Someone has tagged over some of the carb graffiti with "No C.A.R.B. (Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Bush)".

First of all, I appreciate the nice tribute here on your blog, which a friend found and eagerly informed me of. Unfortunately, future public carb updates will have to take on a different form, as I was arrested for writing graffiti just a few days after making the Manhattan Bridge pieces. Be on the lookout, however, for printed carb charts around the city, as well as performances (naturally) in the Chelsea gallery district.
