  1. Thank you for photographing the mural on Winthrop and Flatbush. I grew up passing it everyday and was so sad to see it’s been painted over. Now at least I can enjoy it again!

    • Those photos were only taken a year ago so it’s sad to learn that one has been painted over. I stayed in the area for a few days and it was an interesting part of NYC to be in. Thanks for your comment!

  2. I’m from south east London, and I saw the trains in Brooklyn in 1986 ( prospect park) and I’ve always associated the art with hip-hop, I wished I learnt how to do it ❤️, I love the culture and the creativity behind it, and the rebellious mentality and attitude behind it all . I want to get some one to do the name Desirée ( on behalf of my wife who passed) and for the name Ezira, for our daughter, hola back if your available ❤️💚🖤🙏
