The graffiti-tagged, ‘Sandy’ themed Swoon mural on the Bowery Wall has been buffed and is in the process of being painted by Maya Hayuk. She’s a Brooklyn artist known for creating elaborate, super colorful murals which “recall views of outer space, traditional Ukrainian crafts, airbrushed manicures, and mandalas,” according to her bio. So, it’s not […]
Snowstorms are important weather happenings for many graffiti artists. With the NYPD busy doing mundane tasks which require them to sit in heated patrol cars and occasionally flash on their lights and sirens, there’s not a lot of enforcement going on. This gives vandals plenty of opportunities to take advantage of otherwise hard-to-hit spots. Or […]
Graffiti artists REVOK and POSE have finished painting the Bowery Wall after what has to be one of the most intensive six days ever devoted to the spot. And it’s a masterpiece. It’s also a massive RIP wall dedicated to some of graffiti most’s talented writers who passed away such as DONDI, IZ, NEKST, TIE, […]
Graffiti artists REVOK and POSE made a lot of progress last night on the Bowery Wall, adding a few more tributes to fallen writers as well as a NYPD squad car being crushed. But it’s not complete yet. There’s still some work to be done and until everything is filled in and the lifts are […]
Since day one, we’ve been obsessing over the Bowery Wall that’s currently being painted by REVOK and POSE. As you can see, the font-based piece with several callouts to graffiti kings who have passed away is almost done. (Photo: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
REVOK and POSE are making steady progress on the Bowery Wall. Here’s what it looked like as of this afternoon. One thing that’s noticeably absent are the artists. As we noted, the Mad Society Kings will be working on their mural mostly at night cause it’s just too damn muggy and hot. (Photos: Aymann Islamil/ANIMALNewYork) […]
Just now, the ceremonial repainting of the Bowery Wall has begun. Next up on the highly trafficked spot — graffiti artists REVOK (Los Angeles) and POSE (Chicago). Coincidentally, REVOK and POSE have a show at Jonathan Levine opening on June 29th. They’ll begin soon. It’s too hot to paint during the day. Go home. We’ll update you […]
We stopped by the Bowery mural earlier today to check on the progress. CRASH told us that the mural should be completed by Saturday. There were only a few people hanging around — all either CRASH’s assistants or photographers. Enjoy! (More photos in the gallery.) (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
The ever-changing Bowery Wall is about to switch hands again. After a bunch of old school writers surprised street photographer Martha Cooper with a tribute mural over the weekend for her 70th birthday, the mighty CRASH is now getting started. Born John Matos, CRASH is not only a pioneer of graffiti on subway trains, but […]
Here’s the “MARTY” mural that graffiti writers LADY PINK, HOW, NOSM, FREE5, TERROR161, CRASH, DAZE, BIO, and FREEDOM finished over the weekend. The mural was a surprise birthday present for legendary graffiti photographer Martha Cooper, who told ANIMAL that “It was more awesome than awesome.” It’s only there for a few days, so take a nice, […]
