Great billboard! Wonderful idea taking a photo of the wall. The artist may be famous. There is one graffiti artist that has sort of a cult following. I caught the bug and will look for his work when I'm in San Francisco and other places. That artist is known as Bansky. It's wonderful that this wall has no graffiti on it.
