Secret Walls “The Art of Competition” made its way back to NYC on Saturday evening, October 26. Jason Naylor, Lamour Supreme, Ross Pino and Jappy Agoncillo were divided into two teams and electrified the wildly enthusiastic audience with their live painting. Special guest judges, along with a decibel meter measuring audience reaction, determined the winner of each battle. By the evening’s end Jappy Agoncillo and Lamour Supreme had beat out Jason Naylor and Ross Pino. Street Art NYC contributor Ana Candelaria was there to capture the action:

The hugely successful event was held at No Ones Home venue, co-founded by ex US soccer player Kyle Martino. Hosted by Che Anderson with live sounds from local DJ Gianni Lee, the event was provided with support from its tour partners: Monster Energy Ultra, POSCA Paint Markers, Rabble Wine and more.

With Lamour Supreme’s completed shutter for the legendary Katz’s Deli, the 100 GATES Project has reached its goal of transforming 100 LES shutters into artworks. Produced by the Lower East Side Partnership, the project has been connecting artists with LES businesses through original murals on roll down security gates since the summer of 2014. Beginning today, September 15 through Sunday the 18th, the 100 GATES Project – in coordination with Tiger Beer –invites us to come out for a self-guided walking tour of the gates while enjoying Tiger Beer specials. Pictured above is Lamour Supreme captured at work by travel and street photographer Karin du Maire.

Promoting the Ink Master Rivals show on Spike TV, two tattooed arms have made their way onto a huge billboard on Broadway between 51st and 52nd Streets. Featured on the right side of the billboard are several eerie, brightly-hued characters fashioned by Lamour Supreme — as pictured above:

And the left side of the billboard showcases a crew of Sheryo and the Yok‘s delightfully zany characters:
