& Erase
This mural was painted during the 2019 SpraySeeMO Mural Festival by Bulgarian duo, Arsek & Erase! Find it on Double Tap VR Arcade bar in the River Market next to Strange Days Brewing Co.
The mural features icon elements of Kansas City culture while showing off the street art duo’s unique Euro-centric style. If you look for it, you can see the amazing collaborative addition by Brazillian artist Alex Senna, who added his own iconic bird characters to parts of this mural!
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Distinctive features of their works are fresh colors, fun and diverse characters inspired by nature and their surrounding environment. Their works can be seen in Bulgaria, as well as almost all European capitals, Russia, China, Taiwan, El Salvador and the United States [Shout out KC!!].” - throwup.it
“In the beginning we used to tag our names but shortly we realized that if you paint graffiti it’s good to have a secret tag that no one can easily recognize the person behind it. The First tag was Erase and then Arsek is a derived name of heresy by just shifting the letters and adding a K which has no general meaning but we just like the order of the words…. Like most artists we started with classic graffiti letters and in the early years we experimented different styles from wild style to 3d style intertwined with different characters. After that, we just realized that the characters were what attracted us the most and we started developing different types which we imposed in our style. We also experimented a lot with colors, which according to people are again, one of the things that distinguish us.” - the Artists
