There’s a difference between being wanted and being missed.

These images were stenciled with spray paint on different locations in the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City.

    […] Stunning visual commentary: spray-painted images in various locations within UP Diliman send a strong message. […]

    What a nice image. This is a real art. Hope we can have this too in our school University of the Philippines, Tacloban City Campus

    Thanks for dropping by, UP Tacloban (that sounds sooo weird). :-) May more grafitti artists come your way.
