Each piece is very different, from schools, to homes, to businesses, to right onto a township vehicle. each picture is sending a message to the rest of the people who walk by or view the work itself. that life is beautiful, nature is beautiful and all the people coming together and doing things together makes the world a good place. if more and more people came together to do these paintings on random buildings in and around neighborhoods more good things can come of it. each picture shows hardwork and dedication, how people live and different culture. hope and appreciation is shown on the recycling trucks with all the bright colors and crazy designs. there should be more of this art in the world.

This video is really powerful and sends a message to everyone, at either angle the message is sent to stop child abuse in different terms. telling adults that its not right if they are involved in abusing there child and at a lower angle showing that the kids being abused arent alone and have the right to call for help. its crazy that technology has made it this far already and that is a great way to broadcast such an important message.
