Famous Faces in Graffiti
New Zealand-based graffiti artist Owen Dippie (great name by the way) leaves his distinct style of wall art across the world.

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

His work of cubes, rectangular cuboids and other geometric shapes have animated the streets of Brooklyn, Vienna and New Delhi. Nihalani’s outdoor art has one specific […]
