Happy birthday Martha Cooper!



Legendary photographer Martha Cooper, who chronicled the city's graffiti scene in the 1970s-1980s, celebrates a birthday today. (No. 70.)

To honor (and surprise!) her, new art is going up on the Houston/Bowery Mural Wall...



Brooklyn Street Art has a photo of Martha's reaction to seeing the mural right at noon.

    Happy Birthday to the legendary NYC photographer! She, along with others, helped legitimize graffiti as a real art form!

    Are you sure Wombacher didn't sneak back one night and tag the wall?!?
