David Garibaldi Gallery
In
the 18 months since 21-year-old David Garibaldi left his day job to
become a full-time artist, he’s covered tremendous ground and a lot of canvas.
When times were tough, he once traded a mural for rent--a three-story underwater
scene visible at 26th and N streets in Midtown.
These days, Garibaldi paints murals on commission at businesses like Ink Eats
