Guerilla Art Buzz

It seems as though Sammo's street art is generating some positive buzz in the community. Apparently the art has been discussed at a Vicksburg Village council meeting, It was written up in the local paper (shown above) and Sammo has been approached by the Kalamazoo Gazette to be the focus of a feature article. We thought at some point he would be approached for some sort of news story. We didn't anticipate it happening as quickly as it did.
