Happy Birthday, Jean-Michel Basquiat! If walls could talk—or rather, if they could laugh—they'd probably thank you for turning their dull bricks into vibrant masterpieces. Your graffiti didn't just decorate New York City; it gave the Big Apple a colorful personality boost that even Times Square envies.From street corners to galleries worldwide, your art has boldly challenged conventions and inspired countless artists to pick up spray cans (and occasionally annoy city officials). Today we celebrate not only your groundbreaking creativity but also the timeless coolness you've brought into our lives. Here's hoping heaven's got plenty of blank walls—paint on!
