One reason that supports my claim is street art takes a lot of skill because if it's a huge painting like image…

this is Ivy. Sorry I couldn’t answ-” She hung up and threw her phone back into her purse. Would it kill Ivy to answer the phone just once? It’s not like she’s ever answered the phone before. Mareike stomped down the street, dodging the crowds of people. She usually had fun at these street fairs, but today she just wanted to go home. Ivy’s the reason I’m here, she thought, if only she actually bothered to show up. Mareike kept walking only to be stopped by some college kids running one of the…
