WRK FEST 12 starring artist: Uncle Arlo

 He can help you build a store front or help you frame some quality art work. He has helped with the construction of two local shops Boot Prints and Blasfome. He has been painting for over a decade perfecting his craft and there are three things you can be sure of when you see Uncle Arlo.. 
1. He will have Red Cup with his signature "Arlo Palmer" for you!
2. He will be excited as heck to see you!
3. He will greet you with a patented Uncle Bear Hug!


This dude is a super hard WRKr, he lives by the motto "go big or go home" and he doesn't go home often. He drives an Acadamy Van and has been shot at as if hes doing a tour in Iraq, so ya know he's fearless. 


Arlo's done paintings for countless companies, bars, celebrities and Pittsburgh ne'er-do-wells alike. And we are proud to have him as a featured artist of WRKFEST'12!! thanks Unc! Hes been puttin in EXTRA WRK painting like a mad man to get ready for WRKFEST'12 so i hope yinz are ready! this dude is sick!
