Bushwick splashed last night with Brooklyn’s Mural Day, coloring NYC’s spring on Troutman Street. Artist Mia Chen sprayed walls as 300 watched, a $10 ticket fest of cans. It’s borough hues—pure BK vibe, paint hot. A kid tagged a star; a pro threw a face. ‘Brooklyn marks—this is it,’ Chen says, shaking cans. The blocks turned canvas.
The day’s fresh—March 30’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing curbs by noon. Chen’s a Williamsburg painter; last night’s crowd hit max—colors popped. A latecomer nabbed a spot; fumes wafted—NYC grit glowed. Walls hit five—art ruled. #BKMuralDay trended; Queens wants a spray.
Some griped—’Too messy,’ sniped a normie, dodging drips. Wind flicked—ladders held; vibe held. A rival’s pitching a Greenpoint tag, splitting cans. Still, 400 stayed—strokes reigned. Bushwick’s never painted so bold.
Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a night glow if spring bites. ‘NYC’s skin—this paints it,’ she says, packing masks. The day’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets hue. It’s a mural rush; catch the next. Bring a brush—walls call.
