This is beautiful and reminds me of other stuff I've seen. Like:

They're not as inspiring or heartwarming as that one, but still I love graffiti like this. Have you seen any of Banksy's work?

oh my god i LOVE those, especially the one about falling for someone you've never met. And I've never even heard of Banksy, I don't think! Enlighten me!

I KNEW you'd appreciate that one!! ♥

I'm so glad you love him, he's truly amazing. He's like, anonymous too. Nobody really knows who he is, and I love that. It's not about the recognition, he just wants to make art.
He went into the Louvre once and hung up his own version of the Mona Lisa but with a smiley face over her face, and it caused this whole thing. Just, ugh. Amazing.

He has a website, and if you wanna see what else he's done apart from graffiti, he has some awesome drawings up there. http://www.banksy.co.uk
