Going All City SW was a Success
This major Graff Aholeks even took place at a Giant yard in Phoenix this year and it was a huge success. We don’t put this event on for money or recognition; we put it on for all the writers to have a place to be able to paint what they want and show off the skill they have been working on their whole life. I know there’s many paint jams across the world and festivals with live art but there’s something special about an event put on by real Graffiti Writers for real Graffiti writers. We accept the muralists and street artists but all in all this jam is put on to make the true Graff heads feel at home. Being a Writer myself that has been a full time artist for so long I have seen everything from greedy promoters to regular joes’ who see an opportunity to exploit and make money off our culture but none of that matters here. We are all here to paint and network with each other. There’s much more I could say but I’m getting tired of typing so please enjoy the video and photos and also make sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel or buy some merch from my online store. Everything we do comes out of pocket and we do not have any sponsors paying for anything. Thank you and come back soon.
Going All City NW #2
We traveled to Washington to paint for the Going All City Paint Jam the first week in August and found out the wall Faust, Savvy, Huray and I painted was buffed due to some politics with the owner of the business not liking what we painted. We brushed it off but the beautiful people of Everett wanted us back to paint again and Scuttlebutt Brewery had the perfect wall for us. Thanks to Hyper and Bri Mattes we were able to come back for a Round 2 with two of our team members from Texas; Laced and Cease. We ended up deciding in our group chat that we would paint a comic book style piece of our alter egos being super villains. The wall was a hit and thanks to our good friends Big Ant, Grimlock, MoLov Photography, Melanni, and Socal Gal we were able to capture the whole trip with amazing photography and a cool Youtube video that will be uploaded real soon guys I promise. We even had time to visit some tourist spots in Seattle like the famous Space Needle, Pikes Place Market, The Gum Wall, and even had a chance to check out MoPOP Museum which is home to the worlds dopest pop culture experiences showcasing Hip Hop, Rock N Roll music and a whole lot more- definitely something you have to check out if you get a chance to visit.
I want to send a big shoutout to everyone who helped out with this giant project and it was because of everyone getting together for this that it was all possible. Thanks again from me and the rest of the Graff Aheloks.
