The Dash Snow tribute has been painted over on the Lower East Side

After 14-plus years on a north-facing wall of 205 Allen St. at Houston, someone has painted over the tribute to artist Dash Snow. 

The portrait arrived about a month after Snow was found dead in July 2009 at the Lafayette House on Fourth Street. He was 27. 

Graffiti writer SEEDR was credited with the work, one of many that popped up around downtown at the time. 

As far as we know, this was the last of the portraits still in existence...

    Oh, that's too bad. That's sad. It was a nice little tribute. R.I.P. Dash, we will miss you.

    That's an unnecessarily shitty thing to do.

    There’s still a few SACER tags in places most newer street artists are not willing to attempt… take the Q train back from Brooklyn and pay attention before getting to canal . There’s also a few in places people don’t look on the fancy high line …
