Read aka Reader, OYE, Booker, Bones and more

One of my favorite NYC walls is the one on 207th Street and 10th Avenue, directly off the 207th Street stop on the 1 line. Under the curatorial direction of South Bronx native Crane, who works up in Inwood, it hosts a range of veteran writers, along with their guests — often from out-of-state or abroad. I headed up there this past Sunday and was glad that I did! Pictured above is the work of UK-based Trik-09, who has been writing graffiti since 2005. Other images on the wall include the following:
The legendary Manhattan-based George “SEN-One” Morillo (I tried to move the glass panel that had temporarily made its home there, but it was too heavy!)
Veteran NJ-based writer Ree Vilomar and Uptown wall curator and writer Crane
