Graffiti Paper At The Contemporary Museum Honolulu

On December 5, 2009 I visited The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu.

http://www.tcmhi.org/

At one of the entrances, there was what I might call a sheet of Graffiti Paper.


Graffiti Paper

TCM (The Contemporary Museum) asked the Question: What do you collect?

I couldnt resist adding something about things I collect.


Mystery And Fascination

Of course with hindsight I now realize i should have mentioned Mail Art as well.
