Moneyless Roma 2015

We talked to Moneyless in the Fall of 2014 about his signature geometric style and what might be in store for 2015. He mentioned a new direction, something he was searching for as well as a move towards something new. Well we now know atleast what direction he is headed with his first mural for 2015 painted this week in Rome. Moneyless has taken to reduction with his signature marks further minimizing an already stripped down aesthetic. Very impressed with Moneyless and his ability to always move first before its too late, progressing as well as deconstructing even the most signature of marks. Bravo GF
