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...

Dash Snow tag discovered, covered

Roger's Garden on First Avenue between First Street and Second Street is now closed for renovations, as I pointed out last week...



The market was always open 24/7, which meant we never really saw the rolldown gate... But, with the closing, the gate was finally pulled down... where the Intern of EV Grieve (IOEVG) noted there is SACE art — the tag used by the late Dash Snow ... we went for a photo before the gate is painted over...




Meanwhile, workers have put up plywood around the store...
