New Paint for Sculptural Drips on Park Slope Building

We go away for 26 hours from Park Slope and everything changes. At least on the facade of Mark Ravitz’s building on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope between 2nd and 3rd Streets.

That’s right, Ravitz repainted the drips to match the cyclops-octopus sculpture in the window

It’s big news around here for those obsessed with Ravitz’s drips, which have been many colors in the years I’ve lived here.

“My drips,” Ravitz writes on his website, “are an abstract expression of an other worldy entity making an unexpected appearance. They have made thousands of people smile.”

You got that right, Mark.

The drips on Ravitz’s building at 200 Seventh Avenue (between 2nd and 3rd Streets) have been blue, gold, mad cow, brains, florescent green brick, red and gold and glossy black. Now they’re painted like the cyclops-octopus sculpture in the window. Go here for a history of the drips.

No pictures yet. But it is so cool.

Have I mentioned that Ravitz is trying to rent out the storefront int he building?
