Art print: RIP Sherita, Brooklyn's Pink Icon
One print of Brooklyn's late Sherita, painted in watercolor by Quinne Myers and printed on lustre photo paper. Available in 4"x6" or 9"x12".
Sherita was NYC's fuel oil advertisement icon. This lovely lady was painted on a huge billboard above the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Classon Avenue in central Brooklyn. With her bow-tied oil squirt hair, baby pink skin, and striking old-fashioned makeup, she was beloved by many generations of Brooklyners, even as she withstood graffiti and other damage. In 2024, she was painted over during rezoning* on Atlantic Avenue.
Banksy (allegedly) once said: "You die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time." My hope is that this print, my tribute to Sherita, allows her to live on forever in our hearts and homes, no matter where we live.
RIP Sherita. We love you!! 🙏🕯️✨🕯️🙏
