Streets: Crash Mural on Bowery & Houston

After a great post Sandy inspired mural by How & Nosm (covered), it's time for a new artist to take on the iconic Bowery & Houston wall. Graffiti legend and fine artist Crash aka: John Matos (featured) was tasked to put his street & Lichtenstein inspired hybrid style on this marquee location for New Yorkers to admire. Pulling from his deep arsenal of urban experience, Crash lived up to his name as he hit the ground running. As you can see above, from the concept sketch that he shared with us, that his composition centers on the renowned spinach eating cartoon sailor Popeye. Check out a detailed first look at the creation below.
