wall art Disclaimer
I freely acknowledge that I have photographed the work of other artists. Wall art is ephemeral. Most if not all of these works have deteriorated, been tagged or overpainted. My photographs may be the only record that they ever existed. I sincerely affirm that the names of their creators are unknown to me. If and when I am reliably informed of an artist’s identity, I will happily credit their work. If a dispute arises, the image in question will be removed from this site.
