Artist: BOODA
Location: Graffiti Alley
This piece is dedicated to MASK, a notable Baltimore graffiti artist who passed away last year. BOODA, an exceptional Baltimore street artist, signed the piece in the top right-hand corner ” Much love From: Booda, Adrienne, …, Tyke, We miss you!”. On the left side of the piece, it says “RIP” and underneath that it has the names “Mask” and “Drak”. Drak was another accomplished Baltimore street artist who passed away a few years ago. Drak has several pieces inside Graffiti Warehouse. No doubt about it, Baltimore is full of artistic talent! Wondering what piece is underneath BOODA’s?
