Graffiti in Guatemala 2

Much has happened since the previous article of Graffiti in Guatemala, and finally 2007 was the year of the graff in the country, many new writers have joined this movement is pulling even with more and more strength, and that in 2008 continue to grow

In this article I would like to show some of the things that have been made in recent months, and also mention several that I think have been highlighted in national graff scene, though now they were born several crews, which most stood out throughout 2007 were Zkills Urban Crew (UZC) and Kultura ESKUADRON of Suburban (EKS), painting several productions throughout the year.

The most prominent writer in the non-legal another could not have been more than DOPE, who would fill the streets with her and besides Dopezilla already has two videos where we can quickly see how it is that makes her excellent work unfortunately do not have sound but told me that the next videos will "soundtrack".

His fame grew this year, even other blogs outside the graff commented on their work, so I am thrilled that the graff is being accepted much more than in previous years, if not then let them know their work with the two videos that were comment.

Another writer who has also spent many pumps paint was Sonar, who became popular because their tag began to appear almost everywhere, it has now begun to paint rooms and is on track to

During these months were also held several events and a few more interviews and reports from national graff, generally were small university audiovisual works are appreciated because they show this art quite differently, of how others see this type of art .

In the first video interviewed Woser EKS and GTGraff, was shot during the Festival mural at 4 degrees north, maybe show up painting along with Zame, SPN007, Tools, and Chuck Royale5, lasting a little over 3 minutes.

In the second interview two of the writers who have more time painting in the country and are only a few of those who have always fought for the graff not die in our town, they are Woser and Zame GTGraff EKS and there are also some scenes Muralists Festival and other productions that were made during the year, I must say I liked the most this second video, not only for editing but for general input, lasting almost 6 minutes.

Also a few months ago there were two events of graff in El Salvador, to which were invited Guatemalan writer, although I was not the first time for reasons I prefer not to remember, in the second if I could attend to represent Guatemala along with Zick03 , The Bear, Dope, Zame, Woser, Royale and SPN; take the opportunity to thank Rage, Zero and Little Anime who received us over there and the Municipality of the City to promote events like this to educate the public that graffiti is art

These are the pictures of the pieces from Guatemala, unfortunately the majority of Salvadoran writers did not finish their parts that day because they had the opportunity to follow the following weekend, something we could not do more than anything because issues monetary

Another event that took place recently was the second festival of Hip Hop, which does not participate because they had to submit sketches for painting, which I do not like, but the good thing was that they were other writers who represented their respective crews these are the photos of the pieces, which I liked best was that of Woser, 3d is gray, the door is the best

And good to finish (because as it is already quite long article right?), A video more than a small painted cross EKS illegal! between the Miraflores shopping and Tikal Futura, but I could not finish because I thought it was legal and in the end we had to leave early to avoid problems someone there to charge this small piece of the recording, the first is the incomplete look jejeje

So this is all for now, although recently there were some conflicts between writers seemingly everything has been calm and we are all together again to promote the movement and I hope that 2008 will be an even better year for the national graff and what do you found this?
