"These cans are the third in a series titled, “Tools of Criminal Mischief,” and this print was created specifically as a print for 1xRun. I have a huge collection of vintage spray paint. The colors, the logos and the brand names have so many great things about them. Whenever people come over to my house, no matter who they are, they always want to ask me about my can collection and take pictures of it.

With "Graffiti" and "Street Art" becoming such huge buzz words, and affordable art being more accessible through sites like 1xRun, its fun to remember the tools that made a lot of it possible." - Roger Gastman

This RUN comes signed, numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity from Roger Gastman and 1xRUN.
