3D Insects and Giant Birds: The Graffiti Art of Mantra
“Graffiti is my background, my family, my culture,” states Mantra, a French graffiti writer who travels across Europe spray-painting creatures of the earth on walls. “I’m sensitive to nature, all little whispers and cries you can find in it.

Bling-Bling Graffiti by Felipe Pantone

Over time, VESOD has transitioned into a professional artist with work […]
