SXSW

I'm gonna keep it short and simple. A lot of good bands and a lot of free beer! Dan played a block party show by UT and I threw up some stencils at the Shepard Fairey bandana show.

Tempe, AZ: Party at the Canyon Animal House

We finally made it to Phoenix with a few hours to kill before arriving at the Canyon Animal house in Tempe. In noticing all the stencils around the house, I took to testing some of my stencil on old boards in the backyard to make sure that Homeland Security hadn't ruined anything.




Andreas and DMLH opened the show, followed by some really great performances by Unfiltered, Parable Paul, Hearing Aids, Canyon Animals, and Adverse.












The next day, DMLH and Andreas spent all day recording a track with Adverse and The Canyon Animals for The Canyon Animals' new album. The chorus is all about "watching it grow" and should be available for the public to listen to in the next few months. It's incredible!

Vista/San Diego, CA

After spending over a week moving from town to town, highway to highway, it was nice to finally spend a week relaxing by the beach. We got the chance to see some old friends, and make new ones at a small coffee shop in Oceanside.



Before leaving San Diego, we visited this community center called Writer's Block. Its a legal graffiti yard where anyone is welcome to come and paint on the walls. Everyone who works there is really friendly and I got the chance to talk with other artists about techniques and inspirations.



We spent almost 2 weeks in California and now it's time to head to the Desert!

Eugene, OR

Our first day on tour was spent 2 hours south of home in Eugene, OR. A few of us headed out to see if the Factory Fabrics free wall still existed, which it didnt, and on our way back to where we were staying, we were attacked by a mob of drunk people dressed as zombies who got fake blood and grey makeup all over Mady's car. We then decided to take it easy our first night on tour, painting the walls of Devin's cell above Redundant cartidge with colorful abstract paintings and stencil designs.
