Homo Riot comes to Halifax

About a month ago, I extended an invitation.

The invitation was to the artist known as Homo Riot to send me some of his work that I could share it with my fellow Haligonians. Since that post was written, I recently did my own part and purchased some of Homo Riot’s shirts, which I have proudly worn about town.

Lo and behold, what do I find in my mailbox this morning?

Let the #GlobalHomoRiot in Halifax begin.

Note: this is not an admission or promotion of vandalism.
