Burcs

Gavin Sheehan

Ask any shop owner what they think of graffiti, the majority will start listing complaints from being an eyesore to simply destructive to demanding those responsible should be locked up with the same who would assault and rob.

When looking over our slew of screenprinters and designers navigating through the art scene, you find an array of talent who have mastered the four-color press. Not to mention saviors of local bands looking for colorful and affordable promotion. But today we're looking at one specific artist who has been pushing himself to make even the most simplistic statement or pictures stand out to their fullest.
