The newest graffiti artist I've come across is a talented individual named Phlegm whose latest work is entitled 'Whale of a Time.' The piece has a whale next to a huge barge carrying buildings and features a whimsical character looking through a telescopic device.
Phlegm has also done a lot of other pieces in a similar style that's just as eye-catching as 'Whale of a Time.' Check out the featured gallery to see this interesting work.
