Elefunk : The Other Wall

So, you know the Ex Vandals crew came to Oakland to rock a wall. Well there was another wall adjacent to that and some of Oakland's (and two of Phoenix's ) finest came out to party with the Ex Vandals. Local artists Ernest Doty, Sean Griffin, Onedr and Nite Owl were joined by the father son duo of Such and Champ Styles. These 6 artists each brought their own special FUNk to the wall and paid tribute to a bygone era. Influenced by Kenny Scharf, Futura, Fab Five Freddy, Dondi R.I.P. , Lee, Keith Haring and the other artists of the Fun Gallery days, their wall held it's own alongside the wild Ex Vandals production.
