<p>Dash Snow <a href="http://www.papermag.com/?section=article&#038;parid=1002">once said</a>, &#8220;I&rsquo;m not a businessman. [But] my business used to be and still is thievery, to some extent. I came across a camera, which I thieved when I was 16 and started taking pictures.&#8221; And he certainly took a lot of pictures, but <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/tag/dash-snow">Snow</a> was also a prolific vandal, a model, and a multifaceted <a href="http://nymag.com/arts/art/profiles/26288/">contemporary artist</a>. It&#8217;s almost impossible to fully encapsulate his capacity for creativity, but below is a sampling of the <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/2009/07/dash-snow-1981-2009/">late artist&#8217;s</a> eclectic body of work. <span id="more-23687"></span></p>

<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sace.jpg" alt="sace" title="sace" width="200" height="149" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23786" />Writing <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=sace%20irak&#038;w=all">SACE with his IRAK </a>graffiti crew, Snow bombed walls and rooftops, most heavily in lower Manhattan where many of his tags and throwups are still seen. </p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash-snow-polaroid.jpg" alt="dash-snow-polaroid" title="dash-snow-polaroid" width="200" height="203" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23743" />Shooting photos with a camera &ldquo;made of wood, palm leaves and cocaine,&rdquo; Snow gained wider spread notoriety for his <a href="http://www.tinyvices.com/dash_snow.html">Polaroid photos</a> riddled with sex, drugs, and violence, supposedly his only memory of the night.</p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash-snow-eat-shit-and-die.jpg" alt="dash-snow-eat-shit-and-die" title="dash-snow-eat-shit-and-die" width="200" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23746" />In 2006, those provocative Polaroids found their way into the <a href="http://www.whitney.org/www/2006biennial/artists.php?artist=Snow_Dash">Whitney Biennial</a>, where there were shown alongside his <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45086211@N00/106095145">installation</a> &ldquo;Eat Shit and Die&#8221;:  a mirrored record ringed with a line of cocaine and a $1 bill.  </p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash_snow_police.jpg" alt="dash_snow_police" title="dash_snow_police" width="200" height="125" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23745" />Snow continued creating and exhibiting collaged works throughout his career, including &ldquo;<a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/dash_snow.htm">Fuck the Police</a>,&rdquo; a semen covered collection of <em>Post</em> headlines on NYPD violence. </p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash-snow-post.jpg" alt="dash-snow-post" title="dash-snow-post" width="200" height="236" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23744" />The artist also <a href="http://www.peresprojects.com/artist-works/dash-snow/4534/">continued favoring</a> the <em>Post</em>, smearing patriotic colored glitter and semen on a cover trumping the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.</p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash-snow-ag.jpg" alt="dash-snow-ag" title="dash-snow-ag" width="200" height="133" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23749" />Already often in front of the camera for his own photos as well as those of others like Ryan McGinley, Snow was photographed for <a href="http://razorapple.com/2006/07/24/dash-snow-the-new-face-of-ag-jeans/">several</a> <a href="http://razorapple.com/2007/01/25/dash-snow-wears-the-pants/">print</a> <a href="http://razorapple.com/2006/08/15/modeling-aint-easy/">ads</a> for AG Jeans that appeared in 2006 and 2007. </p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash-snow-nest.jpg" alt="dash-snow-nest" title="dash-snow-nest" width="200" height="169" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23748" />For one of his biggest exhibitions, &ldquo;Nest,&rdquo; Snow collaborated with fellow artist and friend Dan Colen to turn <a href="http://www.deitch.com/projects/sub.php?projId=219">Jeffrey Deitch&rsquo;s gallery</a> into a giant hamster nest, shredding thousands of phone books and splattering the walls to recreate their past drug-fueled hotel room decorating.</p>
<p><img src="http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dash-snow-3.jpg" alt="dash-snow-3" title="dash-snow-3" width="200" height="134" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23750" />Snow&rsquo;s characteristically explicit images of late were <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/2009/05/brooklyn-museum-adds-snow-to-their-collection/">recently gifted</a> to the Brooklyn Museum which planned to show them as part of an exhibition of contemporary works this fall. </p>
