I would love to go to one of the galleries that features Blade’s work. Graffiti artworks has always been fascinating to me. This will be one of my to do list!
Damn! I would’ve love to go to this event, too bad that it already passed. I really hope that they will hold something like this again, someplace that’s near me. I’ll definitely go to it when it does.
