Photos from the July 5th opening of Pirate Utopias at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in London. The show, which runs until July 28th, features works by legendary New York graffiti artists José Parla and Futura. José Parla was featured in our special Street Art issue back in the fall of 2005 and Futura graced the cover of our July/August issue in 2005.
