No clue, just saw it on IG, came here to see if anyone is talking about it...

[Lroy]

I just saw that too ! An accident ? His last post was from the 11 of aprile.

I m shocked too !

[Terry Fuckwitt]

Very sad news😢

[inefficiency of]

Ah man. Total legend. Rest in peace man. 🙏🏻👏🏻

[Fast Eddie]

Is there any real evidence of this? I would not take that post necessarily as proof.

[Fast Eddie]

and the Laz post is gone...

[blurp]

post has been deleted

[Francis]

Hope he is back alive again.

[dreadware]

maybe Laz just wanted a bit of attention

[Gunny]

What did the post actually say?

Really sad news. Absolute Street Art Legend. His art was so wild.

Remember hearing a story about his Leonard Street Gallery show at the time. LSG owners tried to delay payment, they had a reputation for selling out shows and not paying the artist.

Bast made sure he used some of that Brooklyn charm to ensure he left town with the cash. Also filled the gallery with crazy Smurf willys. LOL!

Rest in Power Big Man

Think that was one half of the Connor Bros who didn't pay the artists. Anyone know if this story is true yet

[bonesy]

Man, opened this thread excited there was new conversation about Basto..... positive thoughts his way

[blurp]

Which part? Golding left more than a few artists empty handed.

That is true.

Also true, the best thing about Bast's smurf show was Judith Supine.

If it’s what you say, Laz is a real ... no words ! !
Indecent.

if so what a c*nt

This occurred to me initially too, but nothing about that IG post seems like a “jab”

Bit of a weird one. Has Laz been vocally negative about NFT's ?

he hasn't as far as i'm aware, and in my opinion he would be the first to jump on the cash grab train if he was given the chance...

yeh not at all, but he is a bit slimy

[Fast Eddie]

The easiest explanation is that it was just a mistake.

Cynical mistake then... If we can call that a mistake ! or he drinks too much wine.

Clumsy - about NFT or not - , a really bad joke and bad taste ( in the post he did not show the comments there was 16, but none appearing )

He is not a dumb teen no?  how could we played with the death of artists, or not.

Well, very weird.

Anyway...

[mose]

Have we confirmed this being untrue? I've heard from others that it is true.

[jayawesum24]

Confirmed by Allouche Gallery, sad news. RIP

Oh no. Awful news, Bast was special and a fave of mine from the beginning.

Truly sad.

[d.r. perseus]

Damn. The world is a little less fun with him gone. RIP
