overunder: Living Walls Atlanta Part I

Now this is how you put on an event! For 2 weeks Catherine (White Cocoa) and I sweated with the best of 'em in good ol' Atlanta, Georgia for Living Walls. The humidity and the mosquitos took there toll on us but the amazing people and artists at Living Walls definitely made up for it. Throughout the first week a dozen city and community-supported murals popped up as well as tons of smaller works on abandoned structures. In fact, Atlanta seemed like an artists paradise due to the overwhelming amount of under-utilized and long forgotten structures. Since a boarded up building was always within rocks-throw we had no trouble distributing our wheat pastes and having a chance to spot works of friends. Here are a few pictures of our stay.

Our view of downtown ATL and the Oakland Park Cemetary.

"The shadow of america waves just as much as it wavers but the silhouette is as beautiful as any god damn thing i've ever mother fuckin seen. Period." Uh, what's this all a boot buds. For the record, I'm as much a patriot as a poet. Meaning my poetry sucks and these words are more so notes of my surroundings. Like this one is about a gigantic shadow from a flag covering a hillside. Pretty cool but probably had to be there.

Overgrown everything in Atlanta. Loving the lots!

Labrona paste up with dangling shit overhead and flying motorists just to the left and right.

Good diners with all the regulars. And you know I ordered biscuits and gravy every chance I got.

REMED (Spain) came through a while back and laid the sketch down for this banger.

I already love it but can't wait to see it after the color.

You can't have a painting event without ROA (Belgium). Amazing spot and best use of a fire escape.

LNY (New Jersey) master blaster piece in downtown.

Over, under, and around obstacles on this Braves A.

Street Journalism! How much more hood does that sound compared to 'Street Art'?! Big ups to SARZ on the billboard.

Thanks for letting me paint a big letter on your building Stone! Next time you fly to Atlanta and ride MARTA into the city watch out the right hand window to see this amongst some other gems.
