Coming soon....WE ARE ROBOTS by Paco Excel

Paco Excel born and raised in California with a background in graffiti dating back to 1989 was first a member of graffiti crews TDK/Oakland and then AWR/Los Angeles, still painting graffiti all over the world is now enjoying the world of pop art. Inspired by an old friend/graffiti writer named Dalek, he is now painting his interpretation of what he believes humans are becoming; ROBOTS. In a world controlled by computers, cell phones and social networks displayed on monitors, he believes that we are becoming less and less connected with humanity and more with technology, hence the subject matter. WE ARE ROBOTS.
