RIP Dash Snow.

why oh why??????????????????? 

i was entranced by the boy wonder that was Dash Snow from Day 1. his art was edgy and breathlessly cool. quintessentially below 14th street cool. 

i first saw and really read about him in Purple, from which the above images were taken. i then proceeded to find out everything i could about him. i became obsessed. he was a complete mentalist. a free spirit whose life was sadly over-ruled by drugs. like so many good men. 

the New York Magazine wrote a great article about him:
