Artists worldwide have been finding different ways to pay tribute to NEKST, the late MSK-affiliated graffiti writer who paved the way for so many creatives today. Banksy is no exception. The mysterious, faceless street artist posted a GIF on his website of a spraycan/candle hybrid with the simple text, "R.I.P. NEKST." As the community mourns him, it's nice to see someone with as much influence as Banksy pay their respects, too.
