Art Watch Aakash Nihalani Create an Ornate Stop Sign in Dumbo

Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 3:05 PM

One of our favorite street artists, Aakash Nihilani, previously spotted on ice cream trucks and charity chairs, recently made an elaborate, uncharacteristically ornate addition to a Stop sign in Dumbo (pictured, at the intersection of Bridge and Water). Keith Haskel shot Nihilani in his backyard creating the piece (titled "STOP POP and ROLL") from tape and cardboard, walking it to Dumbo and installing it. Check out the video after the jump.
