According to Gawker Dash Snow has died of a heroin overdose.
Dash Snow emerged as one of our generation's torch bearers in the New york art scene- at least in terms of his personal mythology. Born into art world royalty, Snow left home at the age of 14 living on the streets and building his legend, a legend that materialized itself in photography, spray paint, and collages with his own semen.

God loves a cheerful giver.
Hard to get a proper erection when yer shits a mess..
RIP Snow.
i have no sympathy for this dude. to paraphrase metallica, his lifestyle determined his deathstyle. i don't understand why you want to glorify this shithead.
to paraphrase Metallica ...
never heard of him.
Well now that he's dead I'm sure he'll be HUGE!
i would rather listen to the worst metallica song than know that this worthless shred of human debris existed.
Whoa, NSFW linky there
I've always thought his work was overhyped but it's still sad to see a creative person go at this young age.
Chris is 100% correct here
It seems silly to me that a depraved life with almost no redeeming qualities can be fully justified with a bodily fluids, a polaroid camera and a pronounced disregard for other people.
peter, agree, see GG Allen.
I wish he could come back for the mere time it would take to splooge in the face of all you haters. R.I.P. Sace.
My boy Mike says he was a really nice guy, actually.
Hey, kids, you can be an ARTIST!
I love how trust fund babies who come from very very wealthy and prestigious families decide they want to lead a decadent life...and of course overdose. I mean art is subjective, so if you like him or not, who cares. Its quite another thing that he overdosed. Talk about snooze. Can we please get some sad lonely misunderstood artist to off themselves (albeit accidently) differently.
@chris - nothing wrong w/ metallica. just reminded me of this girl I dated years ago who actually said something like "I guess it's like when Gwen Stefani said in that song ..." \
@STAGEMOMZ - "Sacer"
A bit of Vice Magazine died today. Who cares.
His brother dated an Olson Twin, do ya'll care now?
Very sad. Depressing in every way right down to the baby left fatherless. There are things money can't fix. Dash Snow sported an annoying hipper-than-thou art-world persona, but his artistic talent was undeniable.Unfortunately, he was not only a brilliant artist but a drug addict as well. My condolences to his family, friends and Secret. No hope in dope.

Sri - you are on crack. kid is better off with no dad than that dad
I guess I'm getting old because I can't relate what I learned about the exact definition of art with taking drugs and pretending to be filthy hamsters.
Next week's pool party: Hamster Nest Camp
Eddie: no. Additions create serious problems within a family but there are many people with addictions out there which are - within their own limits - wonderful parents.
thanks for the info. i said this one specifically.
Nice one Jules, very nice one.
Chris, have some respect. Jesus.
This person had friends and family who loved him, he contributed something new to art and he defined a culture.
His death, and the way he died, is painful. You gotta get that hate out of your heart. It's worse than dope and it takes longer to kill you.
