Chengdu 2016 Graffiti Battle Photos

A few photos from a graffiti battle here in Chengdu, called Toyato. Hosted by Gas, Chengdu's (and Western China's) most prominent graffiti artist.

The graffiti scene in China has changed a lot in the time that I've been here. Mandarin-language graffiti is more common now and features of traditional Chinese culture (pagodas, calligraphy brushes, pandas, kung fu) are frequently featured, instead of just the international symbols, like boomboxes and train cars.

Rafik in Chengdu Photos

6x World champion turntablist (and all around champion personality) DJ Rafik came to Chengdu last weekend and performed at NASA. Unfortunately Kid Fresh (another champion turntablist and person) couldn’t join as was planned, but we still had a good time. Here are a few photos:
