I've been meaning to say thanks for posting my pictures. So, thanks.

Also, I wanted to mention that while this particular graffiti piece wasn't signed (that I saw), internet research suggests it was done by somebody who calls him/herself Snacki. I'm usually not much on graffiti, but I think this is really well done.
