Baltimore artist GAIA has returned to RVA again this year to contribute a piece to the 2013 Richmond Mural Project. Having previously worked with us for the G40 Street Art Festival last year (his piece is on a wall at 11 W.

Browsing through their selection, I’d get excited just looking at the newest stuff from Matix, Diamond, and Nike SB. Although I’d happily settle for whatever was similar to it on the racks at Marshalls, I wished getting the styles I wanted was a little...
