Haters, Rejoice: Sace Tribute Buffed Over
Sace Tribute Goes Up On Houston Street
This morning, the TWIST-Barry McGee wall on Houston Street was covered up by a tribute to SACE. SACE was the tag used by the artist Dash Snow, who died last year, while he was part of the IRAK crew (he also went by SACER). Street art experts we spoke to think that ADEK, who tagged the Domino Sugar Factory earlier this year, was behind the tribute. Graffiti photographer Martha Cooper calls it a "grand finale" to the TWIST piece, which replaced Shepard Fairey's work.
Os Gemeos Mural Complete, Dedications Added
Yesterday word went around that there was some unwanted tagging going on the Os Gemeos work-in-progress mural on Houston Street. It didn't take long for the brothers to cover it up with a dedication to their old friend Dash Snow (an old photo of the three after the jump). There are actually two dedications to the late artist (who also was known as Sace in his tagging years), and one to Iz the Wiz (you can see his tag on the subway car in the mural). And with that, the mural is finally complete!
