Tuesday's parting shot

Tats Cru created a new set of murals on the SE corner of Second Street and Avenue A (their usual spot) several weeks back.

We tried, without much success, to get a shot of new panels... so thanks to Salim for getting the job done today.

BTW, U.K.-based artist Nick Walker joined Tats Cru to do the panel on the far left.

Tats Cru created a new mural this week on Second Street at Avenue A... paying tribute to Bittman John "Bimbo" Rivas (1939-1992), who coined the term "Loisaida" in 1974...

There are also street scenes that depict these COVID-19 times...

H/T KTMac!

Tats Cru getting fresh on 2nd Street

Tats Cru created a new mural today on the wall on Second Street at Avenue A... it's an ad for GrowNYC’s Healthy Exchange Project ... specifically the local Greenmarkets that accept SNAP/EBT...



There's more space reserved for the mural specialists ...



The members of Tats Cru have created several murals here in recent years, including one of Jeremy Lin... this wall has also seen at least two marriage proposals. Here and here.

Thanks to @billspector for letting us know about the new mural!

Report: TATS CRU member arrested at Ace Bar after smacking patron with beer mug

[TATS CRU mural on the side of 20 Avenue A]

Let's head to the Post:

Famed graffiti artist Davide Perre, known for his murals on city walls worldwide, was arrested this morning after allegedly hitting a man in the face with a beer mug in an East Village bar, police sources said.

Perre, 39, of Brooklyn was charged with felony assault after the victim was sent to Bellevue Hospital with blood gushing from his head.

Perre and his twin brother, Raoul — members of the famed TATS CRU from the Bronx — were at the Ace Bar on East Fifth Street when an argument erupted with two men. One of the men made comments about David’s wife and his brother’s girlfriend, and was then smacked.

Pin... what?

Just noting the latest mural by Tats Cru on East Second Street at Avenue A... went up this past week... an ad for Fancy, the social photo sharing website and app...

... and the logo is written over the Pinterest logo...

Here's a video of TATS Cru creating the Jeremy Lin mural on Second Street

Yesterday, we mentioned that ANIMAL commissioned TATS Cru to paint an Atlas-inspired tribute to Knicks star Jeremy Lin on Second Street at Avenue A.

Now here's a time-lapse video via ANIMAL New York....

So you may have heard about the New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin ... Anyway, our friends at ANIMAL New York passed this along:

In honor of this newfound responsibility – and crushing pressure – ANIMAL commissioned TATS Cru to paint an Atlas-inspired tribute to the man of the hour.

It's up on the southeast corner, where we've been seeing some marriage proposals of late... the mural should be up for another month...
