Thursday's parting shots

Stencil-art legend Blek le Rat (@blekleratoriginal) created this tribute to his favorite artist, the "Shadow Man," Richard Hambleton, outside 50 Avenue A between Third Street and Fourth Street...
Blek has a new show starting tomorrow at West Chelsea Contemporary on 10th Avenue ...

Richard Hambleton was an unsung genius of the same era and community that gave birth to Haring, Baquiat, and many other greats. There's no Banksy without Hambleton. This mural is a wonderful tribute, but unfortunately, I don't expect it to last long before it's tagged and defaced by wannabe street artists who have no idea of, nor respect for, the true artists that paved the way.
