Nu credeam ca o sa ajungem aici, 20 de ani alaturi de STENCIL.RO. Am inceput din pasiune, fara planuri mari sau promisiuni. Chiar daca postarile sunt din ce in ce mai rare, STENCIL.RO a ramas in picioare, legat de street art, stencil si cultura urbana. Multumim tuturor celor care au fost, sunt si vor mai trece pe aici. Multi inainte.

19 ani alaturi de STENCIL.RO. Street art continua.
According to the BBC, a court has ordered Danish artist Jens Haaning to pay The Kunsten Museum in Aalborg, Denmark, 500.000 kroner. That’s just a bit under $77.000.
