That looks like a lot of fun, I look forward to seeing the work you post under that tag. I'll definitely follow this account too.

When I was 17 my parents bought a new home and basically demolished the inside. My dad gave each of us kids a can of spray paint and let us go to town. We destroyed the walls with our art/tags etc. It was a blast. Then, he gave us hammers and sledgehammers and let us demolish the room. I remember that Kurt Cobain had just died and I was full of all sorts of rage. It was a pretty cool thing for my dad to do. I think there are pictures somewhere.

It reminds me how last winter my parents decided to open up the first floor of the house and conveniently left on vacation leaving me home alone with the contractors.

We got a bit drunk with some friends and went to town on the wall about to be destroyed with sharpies and a sledgehammer. It make for some funny pictures I sent my mom with my head thought the wall. "Look what I do with the house while you're away mom!"

The funny part was when the contractor walked in the next morning and told me that I destroyed the wrong wall. Nice try Sergey, but I know perfectly well which wall to destroy. Fun times :)
