Emek Thievery Corporation Plexi Glass Piece

Emek ‘Thievery Corporation’ Edition of 100 Size: 18 x 24 Inches $100 Each

Here is one of the best pieces I have seen in quite a while, this is Emek’s latest piece for one of the best bands in the world… Thievery Corporation gig in Philadelphia one or so ago. The cool part about this piece is the wicked subway map vibe I get from it!
