EXPRESSION IS ABOUT

Since  I moved to Mexico I've travelled most of the country by road from Oaxaca to California.   I've seen tons of graffiti, murals and  bill-board street art on walls announcing   different  shows that had beautiful hand painted  designs,colors  and lettering. Some of these works remind me of that festive -carnavalesque spirit.
