Honest Abe

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.

So awesome! Thanks for posting.

I'll bet the time is really in the stencil. Spraying probably goes quick: background to foreground.
