3 Floyds Plus A Few Dozen Cans of Spraypaint Equals...

Is it just us, or has there been a lot more graffiti around than usual? Taggers have been everywhere (when they're not getting killed running from the cops) and the skill level seems to have been going up as well, at least from the work we're seeing on rooftops during our daily commute.

Well, if you're planning on attending Dark Lord Day at 3 Floyds in a few weeks (and if so, remember our survival guide!), you might have the chance to check out their newest brewery decoration which is along the same spraypainted lines. Although, we imagine that between the filming and the access, 3 Floyds actually intended on having this piece created.

If you only watch one video of the creation of a mural about a leather queen standing atop a pile of skulls while wolves howl aside her, make it this one:
