Question: Artists Painting Urban Decay!?
I mean like paintings of graffiti on walls, old borded up buildings, burnt out cars and just like rundown shanty towns or something!. They all need to have artists that specialize in that topic though not just random pictures!.
I Need the some names cause i need to do a study on one artist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
