OMEN street art Originally uploaded by NaruwanI've blogged about street art by OMEN before. An obvious talent. It makes a change from those stencil graffiti which you used to see all over the place in Taichung. Don't get me wrong, some of those stencils are great but OMEN really does it for me. The one above is one he did outside the art museum. Great stuff OMEN. Keep 'em coming.
I have met Omen. He is from Montreal. I've heard complaints from people who have worked with him though. But he certainly is talented. That is doubtless.
