Taxis splash down the streets; New Yorkers stride with their heads down, leaping over puddles, carelessly bumping into each other. Everyone wants to get out of the cold, out of the rain, into the warmth.</p> <p>Ten stories above — on a long, skinny platform hanging from the facade of a building at Canal and Mercer in downtown Manhattan — it’s a different story. Climbers’ ropes secured around their torsos, Jason Coatney and Armando Balmaceda stand in a melange of open paint cans and brushes. These two muralists of <a href="http://colossalmedia.tumblr.com">Colossal Media</a>, the largest hand-painted advertising company in America, are heavily layered in sweatshirts and raincoats. But in this industry, c’est la vie. Paintbrushes in their fingerless-gloved hands, earbuds in their ears — “I like to start out with Miles Davis in the morning,” Coatney smiles, his breath visible in the frigid air — they begin yet another workday in the sky.</p> <p><a href="http://storyboard.tumblr.com/post/40092817630/wall-dogs-the-midair-muralists-who-paint-new-york">Read More</a></p> </blockquote>http://not-right-now.tumblr.com/post/40107666369http://not-right-now.tumblr.com/post/40107666369Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:04:24 -0500colossalmediawall dogstoryboardtumblrmuralmuralistpaintersignpaintingadvertisting<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/583c30a657e530a7b2ffebe980057d1d/tumblr_mg4kr3S0gG1qzlop1o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/032d1599037d38b79e279053008c3d78/tumblr_mg4kr3S0gG1qzlop1o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>A while back I got to shoot with <a href="http://killingiteveryday.com/">Brian</a> for the <a href="http://www.12ozprophet.com/news/our-man-flint1">Flint</a> for 12ozProphet collaboration.
