Gamma Acosta
When we arrived in Denver there was a great mural just round the corner from our apartment which I intended blipping. It looked like this:

But after a few days it had been painted over and a new image started to emerge. Two days later(this morning) I passed Gamma who was working on final touches of the image in my blip. He was a nice guy and as we got talking, he told me that this was his wall and he could do whatever he wanted on it. This was just a quick one, he said. Freehand, freestyle, no projector, just spray paint. He seems to be in demand...flying to Belgium later today for street art festival, and then to the UK at the Bristol Upfest for the end of July.
A few links of his favourite piece and of him at work if you're interested. I felt quite privileged to meet him.
