Guerilla Nouveau the movement:
Guerilla Nouveau was hatched during the birth of Skrastin’s Photographic/Graphic career.

With Guerilla Nouveau’s birth his work finally had an identity, Skrastins named the movement after his Photographic/Graphic arts company “Guerilla Nouveau.” Skrastins a student of Pop art believes this is the new wave for the art form. Due to pop arts creation in the tumultuous 1960’s social climate and the similarities to the late 2K’s social climate, this is a firm breeding ground for Pops resurrection.
