As you may remember I mentioned a few days ago that he had created an account to show photos of the national graff, but then Oscar gave me a great idea so you can display the graffiti and street art of Guatemala with pictures of all those who feel concerned by this art, and also have a Flickr account.
Today I created the group of Graffiti and Street Art in Guatemala on Flickr, so now may help many more people to collect the different pieces that are painted around the city, I hope
So do not hesitate more and join the group to start sharing your photos, thoughts and concerns about this great art I leave you with a link to the group.
Well, at last it ends in 2007, this I think was the year that has left me more, I learned many things both in graff and design and other things, so this post is a thank you to all who made this 2007 a great year for me
First I thank my crew the Kultura Eskuadron Suburban, EKS cru!, Because without them there would be painting today, thanks in particular to Royale, Wozer, SPN, Zame, Dhere, BPH, Tibu, Ivi-Fix, Psyker, The Bear, Sonar and KNK, I hope that next year we can paint more productions together.
We also thank Guareguare for receiving me to practice my technical college, thanks Zoada, Kiki and Wozer, for putting up there
I also thank the friends of the U @ s, Adriana, Christa, Jacky , Ivan , Jimmy and Josh , as well as half the day I spent at the U XD
And do not think that I forget about the readers, thanks to all those who follow the blog either by email, by a feed reader, or visiting the blog every day, thank you because without you it would be fun and not be write both
Finally I would like to thank God for all he gave me this year and I pray it stays that way XD because without Him I could not do everything I do every day and also my family for the support they give me, but not much they like to paint XD
If I forget someone I apologize so I hope you have a good time with your family and loved ones and hopefully make 2008 a better year for all
Gift Of course I leave the new face of the blog and is the fourth version and better than renovate the house to get even better new year We continue to see in 2008, greetings and leave comments about them like the new design
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 that is still starting up 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 a number of which in my view have been highlighted in national graff scene, but now were born various crews, which most stood out during 2007 were Zkills Urban Crew (UZC) and Kultura Eskuadron Suburban (EKS), painting several productions throughout the year.
The most prominent writer in the non-legal could not have been another more than DOPE , who would fill the streets with his Dopezilla and also because it 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 "soundtracks."
His fame grew this year, including otherblogs outside the graff commented on their work, so I am thrilled that the graff is being accepted much more than in previous years, so if you do not know their work will leave you with two videos that they comment.
Another writer who also has been painting a lot of bombs was Sonar, who became quite famous for his tag began to appear almost everywhere, has now begun to paint parts and you see that going well
During these months were also held several events and a few more interviews and reports of national graff, generally were small university audiovisual works are appreciated because they show this art quite differently, how others see this type of art .
In the first video of EKS Woser interviewed and GTGraff, was recorded during the Festival of murals at 4 degrees north, then turn up painting 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 just a few of those who have always fought for the graff not die in our city, they are Woser and Zame of EKS and GTGraff, there are some scenes Muralists Festival and other productions that were made during the year I must say I liked it more this second video, not only for editing but for the contribution in general, lasting almost 6 minutes.
Also a few months ago there were two events of graff in El Salvador, to which were invited Guatemalan writers, although I was not the first time for reasons I'd rather not remember, in the second if I could attend to represent Guatemala with Zick03 , The Bear, Dope, Zame, Woser, Royal, and SPN; take to thank Rage , Zero and Anime Chico They received us over there and the Municipality of the City to promote events like this to educate people that the 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 continue the following weekend, something we could not do most of all for reasons currency
Another event that took place recently was the second festival of Hip Hop, which does not participate because he had to hand sketch to paint, which I do not like, but the good thing was that there were other writers who represented their respective crews these are photos of the pieces that I liked most was the Woser, is the Gray 3d, the door is best
And nice 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 make this small custom recording parts, the first is the incomplete look jejeje
So this is all for now, although lately there were some conflicts between writers seemingly everything has been calm and we are all together again for the movement and I hope that 2008 will be an even better year for the national graff and what they thought you all this? Will they taste? Do you dislike?, Leave your comment
Tomorrow begins the second Hip Hop festival in Guatemala, lasted four days and guests come from Nicaragua and El Salvador, to view more information on the times of all activities of the four days please click on the image below to enlarge it.
Following graffiti activity in Guatemala, on Thursday August 23 I took the first exhibition of graffiti in the country.
The event will start around 7 pm in the bar El Laberinto cultural district located 4 degrees north, the exhibition consisted of all the parts have been painted in place but also there was also a small demonstration of live graffiti.
The writers present on this occasion were: Woset, Royale5 and Zame, of EKS cru!, Who in a few hours made a small production for the expo.
After the show I took the award of a graff battle that took place several months ago, which was between GuateGraff vs. UZC, the winner was GuateGraff, besides some awards were also given to other writers participating, including me I and also award for the best part of the site which was painted by Zame.
The event was quite good and the truth is that I forgot to spread it here in the blog, but they say there will be a second expograff only participate in the national writers so in future I will tell you the date you will be held.
I leave you with photos of the finished production and the link to view the complete gallery, remember to visit the galleries section to see photos of past events
More and more the opportunities that many organizations are turning to graffiti in Guatemala, this time the new cultural Arts Centre.
The live graffiti show was held on last weekend (18 and 19 August), on the terrace of the place, to select those who would have the opportunity to paint in that place we made a call for those wishing to sketches of the pieces delivered that thought and then select paint and which for them were the best.
Once not arrive on time and I could not give my proposal, but the good thing is that if given time sketches represented us extremely well.
The participants were: Magik INK, Kiki and Zoada of UZC, and finally Royale5 and Woset of EKS exceptional work done by merging all other schools of art with graffiti, as in the case of Kiki and Zoada who worked under the concept of Cubism with graffiti.
Unfortunately the only one who has not finished his piece is Magik, who I think is still finishing his piece of 3D, so when you have finished post the picture as I am
Definitely the 2007 is still the best year for graffiti in Guatemala, and be prepared because there are still many more events to come for the remainder of the year
I leave you with photos of the finished pieces and the link to view the entire gallery but do not forget to visit the galleries section to see photos of past events
