I finally made the time to see one.
What really astounds me is the level of detail. I mean, he can't spend gobs of time spraying it up, right? But he takes the time for little things, like overspraying the old tags to get a full "canvas". This one was big, too. As tall as me. Interesting side point: you can see the flood water line around Abe's waist.
It was just too cool. I'll soon catch the others. One sad note, though. I was told, but this is unconfirmed, that the ice box kite picture was painted over.

I think their days are numbered. I have to tell you, the work is pretty amazing up close. It'll never happen, but I'd love to see him in action. There so much fine detail in the stencil, I can't imagine how he frames it up. And you know he's got to be fast about it and not screwing around taking his sweet-ass time.
I'm going to put some more in the next couple of weeks. We've got to get you here to see a few.
