Up in Smoke

This smoke-shop got in trouble for painting this. The rabbit used to have a pill on his tongue but they had to paint over it. This mural was created to deter graffiti artists from tagging on the building.

Building Owner: Mike Mahaney
Location: Englewood, CO

Artists' comments on the piece:
"Our art tries to inspire, take a second out of people's lives and say, 'Wow, this is cool,"' said the artist, known as Wiser. "It takes them back to a time when they were a little kid."

Wiser and his partner, Keith White, owners of yournameingraffiti.com, work with the city of Denver on its anti-graffiti campaign. The murals, or graffiti art, deter kids from painting vandalism graffiti, Wiser said.
