TOMORROW! I will be re-painting the Beastie Boys Paul’s Boutique mural in the Lower East Side for the 3rd time since 2014!
This mural is part of curator @leroylive ‘s ongoing efforts in the Hip Hop Recognition Project to get streets renamed in honor of important figures in Hip Hop History & get this corner renamed “Beastie Boys Square”
Leroy’s efforts include getting Linden Boulevard in Queens renamed “Malik Phife Dawg Taylor Way” for A Tribe Called Quest; Renaming the corner of Fulton & St. James “Christopher Wallace Way” for the Notorious BIG in Brooklyn; “Wu-Tang Clan District” in Staten Island and “Sylvia Robinson Place” in Englewood NJ for Sugar Hill Gang.
This mural is painted on the original “Pauls Boutique” aka Lee’s Sportswear featured on the Beastie Boy’s classic album, Paul’s Boutique, now @wolfnightswrapsusa
This is the 3rd installation of the mural; the 1st black & white version was in 2014 + the 2nd full color in 2017. Special appearance by Brooklyn’s very own @beastiecaddy as well 🙌🏽🎨 #beastieboys #paulsboutique #hiphoprecognition #lowereastside #daniellemastrion

Happy 25th Anniversary to Illmatic 🙌🏽 “Lemme take a trip down memory lane...” Throwback to 9 years ago (tonight) painting a portrait of @nas live at Funk Box NYC at Sullivan Room (rip #VoodooRay - he brought me on to paint this night 🙏🏽) I painted Nas back then for the 16th anniversary of my favorite album of all time - Illmatic. Cant believe the album just turned 25. The most classic, perfect album from that era that I still listen to almost daily. Congrats @nas for making such a classic. Zoom into my iphone zero to see the reference 😂 “Deep like the shining, sparkle like a diamond, sneak an uzi on the island in my army jacket lining, hit the earth like a comet- invasion...” Photo by @powerquevedo 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 “ #nas #illmatic #illmatic25 #az #funkboxnyc #VoodooRay #hiphop #queensbridge #livepainting #daniellemastrion

Shocked and so saddened to hear whats happening to Notre Dame! What a tragedy...my heart goes out to Paris. I think all New Yorkers understand how this feels. At least no one was inside...💔 Visited Notre Dam for the first time 14 years ago in 2005 with @deannarose2 . I remember seeing how this wasnt just a church- it was a heartbeat, a cultural point. I oriented myself around the city from that spire. As a lover of history, art history, and travel this building was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The gargoyles, that spire...no words. BUT- parts of this cathedral have been rebuilt & reconstructed many times, including the spire, hopefully, they can rebuild again 🙏🏽. 😢😢 #paris #notredame #tragic
