"My name is Paes164 and I'm a professional artist. I've been painting since a teenager, and I've been doing it for 20 years now. Find me at Paes164.com (p-a-e-s-164.com) My Facebook is facebook.com/paes_art. I would say a blockbuster style is just a very clean basic way of getting people to see your work from afar. It would start off in trains, a lot of train lines are about a couple hundred meters away from highways, people would do big blockbusters, so people could drive by and not subways but freight trains, you know. And the highway, simpler way just to get up and get up big and fast and colorful and get it done. Blockbusters, straight clean block bold simple letters. You know about as far as it's gonna go, corners or maybe tilt them, just very straight, very clean, very big, you know blockbuster in your face no matter how far you are "
