After 5 Pointz we went over to another part of Brooklyn near Lorimer Street - there was a shop there that Simon had asked to go to, and there were a few murals that I'd seen earlier that I thought he'd like.
The shop was called the Cotton Candy Machine - it was just down the road from Fette Sau (or favourite BBQ place!) near some great little junk shops and bars. The shop was set up by Tara McPherson, it actually used to be her studio - and now sells loads of her work as well as affordable prints of other artists that the shop represents.
They had some fantastic prints in all sorts of styles, by all sorts of artists - there were some great gig poster and some really lovely screen prints. Abi and I found a lovely long print for the apartment and Simon bought a couple of prints too.
The people in the shop were so friendly and really passionate about the artists they represent - it was great to hear about some local artists and it was nice that Simon got to go, he said he goes on the shop's blog a lot and had been wanting to go for ages.

Now that I know where it is, I think I'll be popping back for some more lovely prints!
