Over the weekend, a group of graffiti artists painted Boricua-themed pieces to kick off the annual Puerto Rico Day Parade festivities. The march may have started on 5th Avenue, but the celebrations spread throughout the city.

Subway graffiti pioneers CRASH and DAZE have just finished their collaborative mural on Mulberry Street for the L.I.S.A. Project. Both started painting trains in the mid to late 70s and by the 80s, were part of a small handful of artists who were able to transition from transit property to the galleries. To this day, they […]

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 […]
Today is Martha Cooper’s birthday. In tribute to the stalwart graffiti photographer, LADY PINK, HOW, NOSM, FREE5, TERROR161, CRASH, DAZE, BIO, FREEDOM and other graffiti writers are currently working on this mural, to be finished later today. The mural was a surprise. They told Martha to come by 12 and there it was. “It’s more […]
This evening, there was a major traffic accident on the Williamsburg Bridge. Actor, stuntman, and all around camera operator Dean Neistat witnessed it and managed to capture the shots of the aftermath. “I saw this car crash on the Williamsburg Bridge tonight,” he tells ANIMAL. Three cars were involved and according to him, “one flipped over,” but […]
