I bought my pair from her Society6 Shop  & I luv, luv them! I feel like a walking piece of Street Art.

I also bought them in Paths of Color [turquoise, blue and green] but I’ll show those at another time!

I tested the look with various shoes & ended up with a short heel, which is better than these sandals.

“B Side” of Wild

The south side of the underpass features lots of Graf Writing.

Write #4

Graffiti signatures.

Write #3

I don’t recognize all, but some I do. Could this be “Bacon”? I’d be surprised if it’s “Blackburn”. but I’ve been wrong before.

Write #5

They’re works of art in their own right.

Write #6

I’d love it if someone wrote in & just told me what I don’t know.

Write #8

The piece on the right is by “Horus”

Write #15

Write #13
