Founded and directed by legendary Bronx graffiti artist WEN COD, Boone Avenue Walls continues to transform the historic South Bronx Mott Haven neighborhood into an open air gallery — showcasing masterful murals and mesmerizing graffiti. The mural pictured above was painted by Oklahoma City-based artist Pyramid Guy. What follows is a small sampling of artworks we captured while visiting Mott Haven:
