the next basquiat
March 7th, 2006 by Lawrence David
so i found out a couple of weeks ago that my cousin, francis estrada, made his way into “time out new york” (one of the trendy nyc weeklies that hip new yorkers read). i thought i’d link to his slick interview, to provide proof that there are in fact cool people in my family. oh and see some of his art here – he’s gonna be the next basquiat … without the heroin overdose though, hopefully.
an excerpt from the interview:
What neighborhood do you live in? I live in Rambo in Brooklyn.
What’s that? [Laughs] It’s “Right After the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.â€
Apart from geography, how does it differ from Dumbo? It’s a neighborhood that’s hard to classify. If you live in Dumbo, people assume you’re an upscale, conservative young professional. In Rambo, you can be whoever you want. Rambo is limbo.
