In 1992 I began writing graffiti and it changed my entire trajectory in life. It is one of the main building blocks that has gotten me to where I am as an artist today. To celebrate I decided to make a painting of each letter in my graffiti name "CRAOLA", similar to what I did at my 20 year anniversary . In the first installment, I showcased some of the walls that started me oof leading up to now and this one I invite you to come with me as I paint a wall at the legendary Channel Street Skatepark in San Pedro California. Big thank you to Mike Huthmaker for helping me fill in the large areas and for his footage. Big Thank you to Brian Morten for setting things up and his footage and thank you to Andy Harris for the spot and creating such amazing skatepark. Also head over to @SMOENOVA 's channel and watch how he uses a doodle grid to transfer his design to wall. Here is one great example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7tlecHT_lM . I learned about this process by watching his channel and it is such a great technique!

All "Capitals" are painted at 16"x 20" with acrylic paints.
