Graffiti Street

Graffiti is officially sanctioned here. Any graffiti artist is welcomed to express himself and the only rule here is respect better work than your own. As such, the graffiti here changes all the time since one will always think that one's work is better than the other.

Just could not resist the temptation to try...
