Wall Lords

To make up for my lack of blog posts, I leave you with a plethora of pictures from the last artsy-fartsy event I went to: Wall Lords Philippines 2010. Eight different graffiti crews from Manila fought for a spot at the Wall Lords Asia championships in Shanghai this weekend!

How exciting this must have been for all of them and especially for the winner! It was a very packed and sweaty event, and I had to convince my friends who were with me to stay so we could watch some more. Not to mention, the whole place smelled like spray paint! But it was so much fun!! How can an event with live painting where you can watch each and every step until the final product be anything less than a Saturday afternoon well spent? :-)

If I'm not mistaken, she was the only girl in the competition! Great job, too!

There was even a battle for who could "throw up" a word best. Could barely see anything at this point, but so exciting to see them work within their 3-minute time limit. :-)

Only got to see them at the last minutes!

I just love how in each of the pictures, you can spot, though minute, details that contribute to the final look of all the murals. They're not obvious right away, but if you really look closely, you'll find them.

And as you can see, by the last pictures of each of the crew's work, I couldn't get any clear ones anymore. Too many people at that point!

Congratulations to Pilipinas Street Plan (PSP) for winning! We actually hired them a couple of weeks ago to paint a wall for a music video, but since it hasn't come out, I can't show it yet. They were very nice guys and I'm so happy for them for winning and representing the Philippines in Shanghai! :-)

Thank you Marco and Gino for sticking around with me!! Hehehe :-)
