Dozens of first-rate writers and muralists from NYC and beyond brought their tantalizing talents to East Harlem’s 44th annual Graffiti Hall of Fame this past weekend. Walls and cubes fashioned in a wide range of styles graced the now-lengendary schoolyard on 106th Street and Park Avenue. The dynamic production pictured above was painted by graff masters Delta, Syerok, Taste One, Blaze and Part One,   Several more images of artworks captured this past Sunday afternoon follow:
