PaperMonster is a stencil graffiti artist whose vivid and intricate pieces explore the beauty behind the eyes and facial expressions of women. Born in Puerto Rico, PaperMonster incorporates stencil and pasting techniques to create pieces of art on any surface by incorporating pop culture icons, Asian typography, patterns and texture to present vibrant emotions and stories. His work allows the audience to take his creations for pure face value or explore deeper into each piece. http://www.juxtapoz.com Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:27:35 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 /19099-april-3rd-venice-ca-rogue-status-x-abztract-event-featuring-papermonster In less than two weeks Abztract (HERE) and Rogue Status (HERE) will be holding a one night art event.

My art travels the globe and interacts with hundreds of people that I may never meet in my lifetime and that in itself is pretty magical.
