Broken Windows arrived yesterday and Disapearing Storefronts arrived today! I love the books and i will no doubt spend many hours looking though them. You should definitely come to Montreal because we have an amazing graff scene and awesome storefronts as well. Keep up the good work. I am very envious of your jobs!

I would love to show you around Montreal, it is a beautiful city and we have more then enough ill graffiti for another book! Montreal is a fun city during the summer time. We have the largest jazz festival in the world, it definitely a city worth checking out.
I am actually planning a trip down south this summer, the plan is to be in New York for a week and then Philly for a couple more. I can't think of anyone better to show me the city. I love New York so much, I was there for a week in 07 and have been wanting to go back since.
Maybe you could plan a trip for when there is the MOS competion in Montreal.

Happy late new year!
