Piecing with DC5 in Chicago
I got to paint with Exhaust, Beond, Like and Jash a couple days before the battle in Chicago back in July. Talk about aloha spirit. My paints hadn't arrived so they let me use theirs for free. Painted the 3 tako (octopus) in about 4 hours.
The pink and blue piece is by Exhaust. He's a beast! He freestyles this stuff starting from the middle of the piece, working outwards.
Blue-orange piece by Beond.
Purple piece by Like.
Yellow piece by Jash DC5.
Very cool guys, real down to earth.

Mike Bam of Hawaii
Mike "Bam" Tyau has been one of my best friends since we were 18 (long time, don't ask). He was one of my best bombing partners because if either of us got the vibe, we would tell each other and get out of there, no questions asked. We would scope out a place, and sit in the bushes like ninjas for 45 minutes before we would hit a spot, just to be safe. Needless to say I never got caught with Mike.
When we were young, Mike was an inspiration to me to get better at my art. He could smoke me at painting, drawing, and airbrushing without even trying. He had that natural talent. I didn't have that, but his talent pushed me to work harder on my skills to catch up to his level. For that alone, I will always be indebted to him.
We still talk almost every day, and he's become a vital team member of our Estria Invitational Graffiti Battles. Mike is the embodiment of loyalty. He is the kind of guy whom everyone takes an instant liking to. He loves his wife, family and dog dearly, and is an inspiration to me as a person.
For the last three years, Mike has rediscovered his passion for art, and man is he back with a vengeance!
You can see Mike's work inside and out at 1:AM SF Gallery now until October 10, 2009.

This was Mike's first character in San Francisco, gaining him instant recognition as a talent to be reckoned with. 1986

Close up of Mike's section. Check out that skinny cap action! 1988
'Renaissance Men' by Bam and I. On the last day we got chased and never finished the background. This was for the battle between our crew, Together With Style, and TMF. This was arguably the most amazing battle between production crews in San Francisco. 1988
'Spray Can Man' by Bam 1988-89
'Fireman' by Bam 1989-90
'Geisha Girl' by Bam, probably his most famous piece in California. 1990?
