#crashone

NYC artist John Matos, aka Crash, got his start with painting when he began bombing trains alongside older teens, but says he didn't come by his name "Crash" until after accidentally crashing the school computer. As a kid he says his summer reading always consisted of comic books, and "memories of my childhood at New York City beaches always centered on Coney Island." When asked to participate in the Coney Art Walls project in 2016 he decided to combine those memories and "make the idea of reading at the beach the central theme of the mural." Crash cropped different images from some of his favorites including Captain America and Superman, and used Betty from the Archies for his central figure.  @crashone @coneyislandartwalls
