Blight the powers that be — "Read More Books"
Check out the work of graffiti artist "Booker" (aka "Read More Books") in the footprint of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards plan.
Booker's signature skulls can be found over the Vanderbilt (not "Atlantic") Railyards from Carlton Avenue looking north to Atlantic Avenue.
The artist, who got his start in San Francisco and now works in NYC, also writes "hoodrich," which appears on a building on Pacific Street that Bruce Ratner and the State of New York are planning to sieze via eminent domain. The remaining residents, plaintiffs in the federal eminent domain lawsuit, hope to save their homes.
