Gotham's Nocturnal Transformation
Following the vibrant energy of the Manhattan Graffiti edition, After Dark explores the city's transformation when darkness falls. Where daylight reveals colorful borough names and vibrant street art, night brings forth a different Manhattan—one that pulses with shadows and the vigilante spirit. The nickname "Gotham," first applied to New York by Washington Irving in 1807, has evolved through centuries to represent the city's darker, more enigmatic persona. This edition captures that noir essence—the Manhattan that emerges when streetlights cast long shadows and the urban landscape reads in silhouettes and glare. The graffiti language remains, but at night it reads differently—marks that surface only after closing time, when the city shows its other face.
