    Having grown up in the NYC area in the 80's and 90's, the "Graffitti" was one of most interesting aspects of the city to me. No one believed me as a kid when i said people sleep and live in shantys in the tunnels and subway terminals. Then the film Dark Days came out and confirmed what I'd seen....

    I've never really seen shitty artistic graffiti, which doesn't relate to gang tags, violent remarks, and racial discrimination which is strongly negative. This artwork makes a bleak world look a little prettier. It's a great way to express who we are as humans especially as graffiti has been with us since the beginning which is seen in cave painting.
