Public Art and NYC go hand in hand. John Matos aka CRASH is regarded as a pioneer of the Graffiti movement. He successfully crossed the divide to the galleries of the East Village in the 80s. Crash curated the iconic exhibition, “Graffiti Art Success for America” at Fashion MODA in 1980. Graffiti artists took art to the streets of a dilapidated NYC and the trajectory was up! NYC needs Artists. Artists built this city. 👉TAG BELOW an artist that you feel had a lasting effect on NYC through Public Art. 👉SIGN UP for our Mailing List for exclusive content and NEWS on the rollout of our Documentary MAKE ME FAMOUS—a romp through e 1980s NYC art scene. 📸 Crash painting a mural outside Fashion Moda ‘80s #crash #graffiti #graffitiart #graffitiartist #keithharing #spraypaintart #johnmatos #ericclapton #downtownnyc #artnerdcandy #graffitiphotography #oldnyc #vintagenyc #streetart #hiphop #newyorkcity #ny #stylewars #wildstyle #wildstylegraffiti #subwayart #urbanart #beyondthestreets #makemefamousmovie #eastvillagenyc #amsterdamart #edsheeran #subwaysurfers Graffiti artist, John Matos, known as Crash, paints the side of a building in NYC.

Graffiti Guitart. In 1997, Eric Clapton met street artist John "Crash" Matos and was inspired by his artwork, a mix of abstract and graffiti based street-art. Eric had "Crash" paint an unfinished Stratocaster body in 2000 and "CRASH 1" (also known as the "Over the Rainbow" Stratocaster) was born. Clapton has owned and played a number of Crash's guitars over the years. Some years later Fender Custom Shop commissioned Crash to hand paint 33 Stratocaster & Pro Junior amp sets with a Strat Masterbuilt by Greg Fessler and matching Pro Junior a guitar/ amp combo and exclusive original artwork #crashcaster #crashart Many other guitarists are great art collectors including #georgemichael #markknopfler #ritchieblackmore and #sting In 1996, Crash painted an Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster and gave it to the artist as a gift. In total Crash has created 5 guitars for Clapton, though only three of them have made public appearances. One of Clapton's "Crashocasters" auctioned for $321,100 by the name of "Crash-3" and was used extensively during the first Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2004 then Fender ordered 50 graffiti designed guitars from Crash and named the line "Crashocasters." In 2015 Ed Sheeran commissioned a collaboration between Crash and British artist Teddy M to create the 'Crash x Teddy M' Strat debuted by Sheeran at Wembley Stadium in 2015. BTW Eric has made more money through his art acumen than from guitar concerts selling a Gerhard Richter painting for $74m that he paid $3m for. The world’s great guitarists are all artists, yes, but they’re also aesthetes or art students, #jeffbeck #ericclapton #peterframpton #davidgilmour #sydbarrett #keithrichards #ronniewood for example. I have asked the world’s great art student guitarists to design guitars, guitar finishes, artworks, advertisements and logo identities. Guy Pratt @guyprattofficial of Pink Floyd and Saucerful of Secrets even designed logo visual identities for me in 1994 on the theme of a James Bond logo for the Trace Elliot T Bass variants #art #ouevre #cannon #artistmusicians #artstudents #boomers #guitart #guitartists #guitarists #ericclapton

I found my old mini! Around 2010 or so, while in process of selling my old mini, I discovered I was selling it to a well known urban artist John Crash Matos. Just found out where it ended up today.

Featuring a fantastic Strat Masterbuilt by Greg Fessler and matching Pro Junior this is a brilliant guitar / amp combo and a very exclusive original artwork #crashcaster #crashart .
