This piece is unbelievable and a definite must see. I don't care if you grew up in the eighties or just have an affliction for them through contemporary mediums, but being in this space with this work transports you back to a lively, dare I say it, more carefree time. Read more and more photos after the jump.January 07, 2010 — February 13, 2010
