But...... we also had some space downstairs where we thought "You know what would make this so much better?" Yep... getting some good graffiti art inside. So a couple weeks ago, I invited a couple graffiti artists I know to transform the walls. The project is only halfway through being painted, and so far it looks amazing.

One of the artists we invited who didn't end up coming has a backyard shed painted at her house in Burlington.. and it looks great (though who knows if all the neighbours approve.. hehe). (And another one of the artists we had paint knows who the "Keenur" kid is.. and thinks he's an idiot). Its a whole different mindset.

Yeah definitely...there is graffiti as an art; and then there are idiots that go around writing their 'names' on stuff...
