"Return of the Quinquela", Barracas, Buenos Aires, Argentina
One of the largest graffiti art murals painted is in the Barracas industrial neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is entitled ‘The Return of Quinquela’ and features a portrait of Argentine painter Benito Quinquela Martin as its centrepiece and it stands 100 metres long by 13 metres high. Quinquela Martin was famous for his landscapes featuring dockyard workers in the port of Buenos Aires. The giant artwork measures more than 2000 metres squared and covers three adjoining buildings across the Matanza-Riachuelo River in Barracas. Painted predominantly in aerosol, the masterpiece has been recorded as the “biggest mural in the world” by The Economist and also the longest mural in The Washington Post.

My exhibit includes homemade airsoft guns and metalworks made by blacksmithing and metal casting. I like to hike, camp, play hockey and invent things. I have five pet chickens named Wookie, Athena, Butterfly, Speck and Dumpling, as well as a dog named Lola.

These are the pieces of metal which weren't holding the bones in my elbow together. To be fair the elbow bones hadn't held up their end of the bargain and grown back into a solid lump of bone. The screws that are broken were broken inside my arm and all of the metalwork was moving about.
All of the bone and metal fragments have been replaced by a solid metal radial head.
