Title: ROA Masterpiece.I’m often asked: “Who is your favorite graffiti artist?” and yes, I often reply Hebru out of Chicago but there is another who has a special place in my heart of all street hearts. NO, it is NOT Banksy! Don’t get me wrong - Banksy is talented, illusive, and an icon but there is just something about ROA’s work that lights a fire inside me. This Belgain born superstar has it all… from gigantic character/animal studies to his outlook on street art - he is nothing less than the real deal. I still remember the first moment while riding the L in Chicago when I spotted his work… let me just say that if I would have been driving that train we would have come to a complete stop! You can’t help gasp for air when you take in a ROA piece, there is just something beyond magical that happens.Get to know ROA - I’ve posted his bio/interview, as well as his Tumbler and flickr accounts below.
