Blockbuster and Piece

Blockbuster

According to Eden Gallery (2021) a blockbuster is often done in a short time like a tag or throw-up but takes up a larger space. Instead of just using spray paint, rollers may be used because they take less time to fill in space. (para. 5) Famous artists associated with: Eggs, Nekst, and Katsu
