It’s been more than three years since we first spoke with Blek Le Rat about having him come to New York for a visit. We’re absolutely thrilled that in early December Blek will finally be returning to New York to be a part of the Wooster on Spring project.

The photo above is of a massive 6m x 8m poster done by Blek of a homeless beggar as a reminder to the people of London that there will be thousands of homeless people in the city this coming Christmas.  It went up this week on the outside of the Leonard Street Gallery. The poster and other works by Blek Le Rat are on view at the Gallery until December 6th 2006.
