Miami and the just-ended Art Basel 2013 is a holy magnet, a veritable showcase for big murals and pieces (and a few taggers here and there naturally) and we thought you’d like to see a few walls we missed before all the Miami excitement fades with the intense sun.  If you get a chance to tour the works in Miami in the next few months we recommend the trip – and a skateboard.

New stuff here from Peter Kirill, Bezt, Jaz, Entes y Pesimo, and Nychos. Dang!
