STREET ART MURAL TOUR FOR FOCA MEMBERS

Yesterday I led another one of my street art mural tours in L.A. I had the pleasure of showing the murals and art of our wonderful city to a nice sized group from FOCA. We walked around the alley projects near Gabba Gallery and ended in the Arts District at the Container Yard. I love the excitement in people's eyes when they experience something they've never seen before!

Recent local story in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune about why we chose a 10 minute trek from the San Gabriel Valley to DTLA to promote our graffiti art and murals when we were younger (and older).

Check out the story, some great pics and opinions from several of my contemporary SGV artists.

AT THE SHOREDITCH CARPARK, LONDON

Had some good times in Shoreditch during my London trip with my COI Crew. 

Yes there are many street art zombie photographers and street art tours all day long which can get annoying, but there are also so many walls, spots, and art.  

Here's a cool spot we painted thanks to the homie Bonzai.

Check the lil video and Peep the flicks..
