Still kicking myself for not getting this piece... Guess I'll have to make do with some drawings. Was not into his stuff previously but for some reason liking his stuff more now after the Lineage show.

beautiful piece - where is it from? Art Basel this year. For every piece I buy, there seems to be three that I can't buy because I bought something else.

oh, I LOVE that Art Basel piece!!! my first OG was a Sam Flores. He was supposed to have a show in the summer at Limited Addiction that I was something like #3 on the list for, but it seems that's no longer happening so not sure when I'll get to add another one.

this is the best piece i've seen from him in a while. he's gotten way too colorful for me as of late.
what's the size and what was the price on it?

Yah, i was debating but then he's been doing so many shows not and i haven't seen him do any graf stuff in a while although i am by no means an expert. You think i should move it to street section?
That's a beautiful one by the way charity...

Beautiful, always been a big fan of Sam's work. Just curious, how long ago did you commission this piece? I inquired recently and Upper Playground told me he is 2 years out.

Wow, that's tight. What do the crest represent? Are they both flowers.
Didn't realize Flores does commissions... Special favor? Or did you just email him out of the blue?
Congrats man....very nice piece with meaning.

that is so cool. i love your idea of the crests... are there any other parts in the painting that you specifically asked for?

Thats great toemah, sounds like it was quite a process but definitely worth it looking at the painting. I have one commission from another artist and it's definitely a cool feeling having an artist, especially one like Sam Flores do something specifically for you.
