Panic Rodriguez

Established by local community members in 2024, Welling Walls continues the transformation of Welling Court and its neighboring blocks into an intriguing open-air gallery. The mural pictured above was painted by Queens-native illustrator and muralist Annabelle Popa. Several more murals captured last week in the blazing heat at this western Astoria site follow:

While exploring the streets on and off Atlantic Avenue in the East New York section of Brooklyn this past Sunday, I came upon a wall of classic graffiti painted by several members of the long-running, Brooklyn-born Ex Vandals crew. Pictured above is veteran style master 2il taking a brief break from his work in progress.  Several more images follow:

Much respect to these pioneers who paved the way to so many–
