Sace – Dash Snow’s Alter Ego
When I first met Dash everyone called him Sace. It was ‘99 and he was a hot little number, very chic in his tattered tees and had a Lionel of the Thundercats hairdo. We were neighbors and I would see him quite often at the deli on 6th street and Avenue B. He would come over and light up ciggies in my apartment, never ask as if it was ok to smoke them inside. I would yell at him about it and his smoking in general. Then I would roll up a joint and we would smoke that instead. In those days Sace was the king of downtown. Often criticized that he didn’t really stray far from this neighborhood when bombing. If you are gonna paint anywhere in the city, why not downtown? Afterall EVERYONE in NYC comes downtown, not everyone goes to the Bronx or even the UES, forget Bay Ridge or Corona. Besides he painted more downtown than some who are considered ALL CITY and he got up all over the world – some writers never even leave Brooklyn! After the jump, please find pics of the mark Dash blessed us with, done illegally on the streets for all the world to see and enjoy…… RIP Sace, Graffiti’s golden boy. Moments like this never last…. Gone but never forgotten.
RIP Sane, Semz, Dondi and IZ.

Legends Never Die. Rest in Power Sace.
“Besides he painted more downtown than some who are considered ALL CITY and he got up all over the world”
Indeed, because there are “downtowns” in other places too. Like Paris, where he came thru and smashed the buildings in what I imagine to be the eqvivalent quarters.
Rest In Peace.

respect to sacer, but on the real you no nothing about the graffiti subculture. Graffiti aint about only staying downtown you neo-yuppie buffoon. Its bigger than painting in “downtowns” across the world, its bigger than bombing in small ass neighborhoods like soho, and its sure as hell bigger than this fucking blog. Get real you pretentious fucks..
Wait, why exactly are these tags special? look like average stupid boring shit to me.
but then again, 99.6% of all graffiti is completely fucking retarded, so maybe they are good…
This kid was no golden boy in graffiti. He was a toy and down with a homosexual’s crew that was never taken seriously. He was rich and chose to be a junkie. How pathetic. He allowed his so called friends to exploit his drug use with a bunch of stupid art fag photos that were even displayed in the Whitney museum. Where is the honor? None. …
Dear EatadickblouguewhospellsblogwithaU
Firstly you criticise blogue for their spelling, but you can’t even spell blogue correctly. Get real.
And did you call one of the most respected graffiti writers of her generation a neo-yuppie buffoon and pretentious fuck alternately…?!!
You need to invest in an alarm clock, some good Colombian coffee, and wake the fook up.
As a terribly sad aside, rest in paradise Sace.Irak.
Peace and hugs all.
