Tyrone made this awesome stencil art! In his words, "When I was getting out of the Army we were allowed to sign a brick on the wall as a farewell/rememberance type thing. I was determined to make my mark so I created a stencil from a sticker I purchased and stenciled it in 4 different layers on the wall to make the different shades needed. My brick puts the others to shame easily."
