In 2008 Mist and Tilt came over to my new apartment and gave me the best housewarming present ever – a huge mural on my living room wall.

There were hours of spray paint fumes (we had to open all of the windows to prevent from killing every last braincell we had) but the risk was worth it just to watch Mist and Tilt work together. I had never seen a piece be created from start to finish before, so I was amazed and totally entranced for the 8 hours we spent confined in the room. From that day forward every time I looked at the wall I thought of how much fun we had and how inspired I was watching them work together with little words but such cohesiveness.

We always joked that when I moved we would have to cut out the wall and take it with us. Well, we are moving at the end of the month and concrete isn’t going allow us that luxury. Our landlord told us we had to paint over the wall before we left, it sucked, but we always knew it would not last forever. Nothing ever does, especially in the world of graffiti.
