  34. Thanks so much everyone! To answer your questions-I only put my paper pieces up on abandoned buildings or empty warehouses (there's tons in brooklyn!).

    I sometimes get crazy neighbors that look out their window and think I'm painting on the walls and they scream at me. I show them that it's just a piece of paper and they feel silly for getting so worked up over nothing ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I've always been so bad for packman, like really bad.
    But maybe I'm best for this packman.

    Kisses Dear!!!
