Street Story - UTI

We had some really nasty things to say about this production, but since the negative perps have packed their bags and vacated the premises we'll cut the shit and get back to celebrating the dope art in Oakland !

Resek and Skil and friends are at it again. Taking over large walls in downtown Oakland and dropping ill pieces in the guise of a comic book layout - dope !

(FYI - don't ever work with the Love Oakland Group or whatever their next name may be. They are narc's and work with OPD and have been responsible for vigilante violence on local writers. So if you rep the streets, stay away from those assholes...a legal wall production is not worth compromising your integrity)

Ok, the PSA is over,  now check out the dope walls !

Down in Hiero Land

Today we journey into the cuts in East Oakland to visit some of Resek's work. We start with the Hieroglyphics Building and it's Egyptian-esque theme. Pretty dope stuff by Resek!

full wall

hella digging this one !

 Across the street were a few more walls that needed some funk, so Resek brought out the homies Skil and Kufue to accompany him on his quest to cover the streets.

Estria Battle 2013 !!!

Oh man, they are back in the town and they sure didn't disappoint ! After missing 2012, Estria and Bam along with the Estria Foundation brought the Estria Battle back to Oakland where it belongs ! They invited some sick talent from around the country to compete next to some of Oakland's finest writers! No words necessary for this one! The pics will do all the talking. CBS crew was well represented on the walls and in the winners circle. Respect to Vyal from Los Angeles for taking 1st place, again ! and Big -ups to Dytch 66 also from Los Angeles taking runner-up status!  Both did some incredible pieces! Let the flicks do the talking from here on out ! DREAM was the theme. R.I.P.

Vyal  (Los Angeles)

The man from  Tijuana getting busy

Tijuana steez (um, yeah, we don't know his name and the Estria page is lacking that info. sorry)

Glow (San Diego)

Joker (San Francisco)

TooFly (NYC)

Dytch 66 (Los Angeles)

Likes (Chicago)

Irot (Oakland) in action

Griffin (Oakland)

Slokes (Austin)

Doves (NYC)

super bad etiquette...fuck your camera phone. don't step in front of real photographers asswipe!

Kufue (Oakland) this one gets our vote!

Bounce (Berkeley)

Exhaust (Chicago)

Woier (Los Angeles)

Toons (Sacramento)

Agana (Oakland)

Pemex (Los Angeles)

So now that you've seen all the flicks, who do you think won this battle?  We're slightly partial to Kufue / Doves / Woier / Griffin / Bounce in addition to the actual winners. That Joker piece is hot ! Sloker kills it. They're all sick !!! Leave your comments below !

TMT Wall

We were kind of partial to the AOD - PI wall that was originally there, but like trees dropping their leaves every season, walls should be repainted at least once a year. TMT crew came through and rocked some proper old school steez!
