Wow.. these artists are so talented. Its really hard to keep the perspective and the detail right when you are doing such life size graffiti and these artists have done a great job.
Thanks for sharing this. Its a killer showcase indeed.
great collection. It’s inspiring to see artists working on excellent pieces without getting any payment.
The “Gangsta” images are not actually gangsta. They are mexican comedy actors form the 50’s ~ 80’s. Gangsta 1 is “Cantinflas” very famous in all Latin America ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantinflas ). Gangsta 2 is “Tin Tan” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germán_Valdés ) They were very famous, specially on the B&W TV age.
There was some good ones in there but I don’t see how some of these even made it up on here.
Wow! Nice Collection An the last one with GTA:SA character make me lol :D thanks!
