Popeye ready to flex his muscles on the Houston/Bowery Mural Wall



As we noted yesterday, Crash was expected to start work on the Houston/Bowery Mural Wall... you can see above how it was looking by the end of the afternoon... You can make out the familiar form of Popeye taking shape...

BoweryBoogie has some photos from yesterday showing the work in progress... Animal NY has photos and coverage here ... Per Animal, Crash (aka John Matos) "is not only a pioneer of graffiti on subway trains, but also graffiti on canvasses. In 1980, he curated the first graffiti exhibit at Fashion Moda in the Bronx and has painted with the best of the best."

sad that in the greatest city in the world, that this is really the only spot of continuously good street artwork....miami, philly, etc all have great graffiti and street artwork, nyc has this one wall, and a guy in union square who does sand artwork...no offense to "Chico" but nyc needs to stop up its urban artwork game
