I love how instead of letting vandalism continue you’re actually motivating people to do art instead.
Thank you Bere!
This one has got to be my favorite one cause of the sentimental story behind it continues to inspire!
I love how in each piece of art you create you tell a story, you add things that draw people in by the smallest detail, as to where you can stare at it for hours without a bore, because you just keep finding more and more symbolism and love put in the painting each time. Your work never fails to amaze me, rather its something simple or astronomical.
I like that you try to inspire others instead of doing thing that are not right, this is my favorite!!
I like all the bright colors and shapes which really makes it pop out.
