Until last Wednesday, it had been a few months since SVTHST and I had been exploring. Anticipation and expectations were high when we met up at his place that morning. We bent over his kitchen table mapping out our plan of attack; we knew we wanted to hit some spots by the 405 freeway as well as a few other random places I had scene on the drive over. Once the plans were finalized, we headed out.
The first location, a spot we had been to many times before, lasted us about a solid hour. It was as if the artwork were reveling in the spotlight, begging us for each flick of the camera. When we had exhausted the site, we moved on.  As we were driving past an empty lot with scattered splotches of graff, we decided to make a little detour. We pulled over, got out of the [Car brand?], and walked along the train tracks until reaching the art. We flicked some quick shots but kept moving; it was well into mid-day and it was getting hotter and hotter.
We finally arrived at our last location at around 3 PM. It was exactly what we were looking for: bombed-out walls and full productions— Perfect for panoramic shots. It seemed as if every turn of our heads led us to a new fresh piece. We must have spent a few hours capturing the resulting shots, posted below. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

It had been a few weeks since I had had enough free time to go exploring. Feeling the itch, I phoned White-Mike to see if he wanted to join. Sure enough, a few days later, he was in the passenger seat of my Cadillac. It was around noon when we took off for this stretch of rail lines that I pass every morning on the way to work.
As soon as we finished climbing up the embankment, we knew we were going to get some great digital and 35 mm shots. For the next three hours or so, we strolled along the tracks in the dusty LA heat, taking shot after shot after shot. (We recorded the whole journey with a GoPro; enjoy the videos posted at the bottom of the page.) When we were satisfied, we got back in the car and decided to grab something to eat. On the way to [insert restaurant name here], we happened upon a graff-covered abandoned building in a construction zone. Just as we pulled over, a train rolled to a stop some hundred feet away. We hopped out of the car, whipped out the camera, and booked it over to the train. We got there just in time to capture some sick shots of several of the cars. All in all, a great day of flicking— Enjoy the shots below.

We had the GoPro strapped to the backpack and just let it catch everything we saw no fancy edits or cuts just straight from the camera with a little added love.

I mentioned this to Clown while he was tattooing my calf one Sunday afternoon. We discussed a multitude of possibilities, but then finally agreed: why hesitate? We'll just bomb the whole trailer! 
Clown and I spoke to my boss, the owner of the studio, and then began planning our design and color scheme. At 8 AM, the following Sunday morning, we met outside the trailer. Clown was already setting up the ladder when I pulled in. Once Mews arrived, it was go-time. I placed the GoPro on the tripod, and set up my camera. I wanted to capture shots of every movement and every stroke. The process of creation is just as important as the final art piece. 
After a few hours, we received a call from Kano, who happened to have an art space on the next block. He came over, took one look at what we were doing, and picked up a can. Around the same time, Mews got a call from SPE136; we still had an opening at the front of the trailer, so we invited him over. Our two artists had quickly become four. One thing I love about graff, is the way it spurs collaboration. As classic rock blared from the speakers and the sun shined down on us, we couldn’t help but smile— We sprayed away, knowing we couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon.
The next day, my boss was blown away by what we had done. He asked us to paint the shitty old shed and we didn’t hesitate; we made plans for the following week. When 8 AM, next Sunday morning rolled around, I was greeted by Clown, and his two buddies SELF and STRAE. After catching up and figuring out who would do what, we got right to work. For hours, all you could hear was the shhrrr of spray-cans. Halfway-through, Kromahtaic, our friend from AUS, came over to catch some of the action with his camera. When the three of them finished the shed, they moved onto the dumpster. Five hours later, the deed was done and the time had come for everyone to go their separate ways. To see the time lapses from the two Sundays, look under the photos at the bottom of the page.

When he touched down and got settled in we hooked up and headed out to the first spot. As we came up to it you could see the artistic gears turning in Krohmatik's head as his eyes opened up to the walls laced with letters, characters and colors top to bottom. He pulled his camera up to his eye, took aim and fired away. The clicking became constant from then on as we captured and documented every step it seemed. With each hole in the fence we ducked through, the endless tracks we followed for hours, it was unbelievable to see Krohmatik interact with the the scenery through his art and to hear the amazement and disbelief in his words about the immense amount of work there was to see.

After a full and successful day we headed back to the studio to unload our gear, drink a few beers and see what we captured. We hope you enjoy.
