The Dude Company Special: New Pieces: Big Ups To BKLN

Dude’s Got Skillz

Damn, Son, some street arts artists in BK are seriously bringing it this spring, and the results are there for anybody to see in this gallery of the street.

Here are very recent stencils and wheat-pastes by one of the more enterprising new talents on the scene, The Dude Co. 
In this new series The Dude continues to pay homage to BROOKLYN, some of its distinctive landmarks, skater kids, and hip-hop musicians from all over.

Despite the subjects, none of it is POP, rather it can be startlingly sincere. In color, composition, and context you’ll have to admit he’s killing it.

It’s evident that The Dude Co. is a fan of New York, and with this new collection, some New Yorkers will undoubtedly be a fan of The Dude.
