RETNA Replaces FAILE at Bowery Graffiti Wall

A short time ago, work began on the new mural at the Bowery graffiti wall. And as you might imagine, the corner quickly became a scene. The requisite gaggle of photographers gathered to watch the new paint job.

We are told this latest mural is the handiwork of well known LA-based artist RETNA, whose real name is Marquis Lewis. According to his website, the nom de plume was derived from a Raekwon song.
