Featured above is Queens-based artist Chris Cortes at work. What follows are several more images of artworks on cubes captured this past Sunday, August 17th — the second day of this annual event, produced under the curatorial direction of Sharif Profit.

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.
