Even more Pushwagner at To Glass Vinotek

Complete your tour by visiting To Glass Vinotek, where you can see another Pushwagner. (If you’re hungry, the To Glass restaurant is on the floor above.) The work was created when Pushwagner visited the wine bar during the 2011 film festival. In the early hours, Pushwagner asked for something to draw with, the wall was adorned, and the artwork signed at 3:15 am.
