Montana / Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle / 1AM SF Gallery Show
This Spraycan Art "Don't Sweat the Technique" show will be on Sept. 11th at the 1st Ammendment Gallery and run through Oct. 9th. Swing by on opening night (Fri. 9/11) to see the art of contestants, demo artists and judges that have been involved with the Estria Invitational Graffiti Battles. This will be a banging show because it will be the first time other graffiti artists from other cities will be displaying their artwork.

SFWekfest Import Car Show - February 8th, 2009
I just painted 3 banners for the sponsors of the SFWekfest '09 import car show at SF Japantown over the past weekend. I needed an update to a technical car piece for this website portfolio, so I busted a G35. Thanks to Ernesto to allow me to paint these commercial pieces.
Rockin' in the New Year! - January 3rd, 2009
Painted with Honolulu local writers Alkos & Eulogy on Mapunapuna Street, Salt Lake, Oahu. Since it's the Year of the Ox, I had to throw that in at the end of the wall. Check it out in the Gallery Section! I read this quote from Mahatma Ghandi before I jumped on the plane home for Xmas and it stuck in my head. "Be the Change that You Want this World to Be!"
Launch of Mike's new site! - December 25th, 2008
Welcome to my first attempt to document all of my graffiti artwork on a website that is not Facebook. I'll do my best to update my latest travels and adventures on where I paint my current spraycan art murals!
