The Roaring 20's

I don't know if it's the clothes, the music, the sepia colored pictures or black and white silent films that make me want to live in the 1920's right now, but there is something I find fascinating about this decade. The economy was thriving like never before and people seemed to really be living it up in ways that seem better than what we're used to today.

Boxi

Since we recently learned about Banksy in Contemporary, I thought I'd post some of Boxi's stuff too. He mostly works in Berlin, but was schooled in London.
