Days go by and it still trips me out when I realize I’m not looking at a photo.

exclusively in spraypaint…
One of the many dope pieces by one of the many dope artists

Los Angeles Mural Moratorium
For many years, Los Angeles has been home to some of the most innovative mural work, but that may no longer be true if the city’s crackdown on public art continues.
Changes to the city’s municipal code in the last decade mean that murals are now defined as signs. Obtaining permission to post legal signage in Los Angeles is a costly and time consuming process. Due to this fact, the city has issued no new mural permits since 2007 and begun to remove unregistered public work.
City officials and police attempt to fine building owners who host murals and artwork that has not been approved by the city of Los Angeles. Private companies that specialize in graffiti removal have actually broken onto private property to remove art from public view. Art is not a crime, stop the madness!

A Sign of the Times
As the economy struggles and billboards turn to blight, it seems no one is responsible, or liable. Thanks for the brave whom create in this decay.

Microsoft Spraying Into the Night
Sketching Letters
A team of 5 from Microsoft came to the gallery on the evening of October 26, stoked to learn about graffiti art. Curious and inquisitive, they asked some wonderful questions during the history of graffiti session. Following the history lesson, they then got to see some murals firsthand, and attempted to decipher some funky fresh wild style lettering.
After learning about graffiti art, it was time for them to try their hand at sketching letters and spraying. The Microsoft crew had a playful attitude and they executed their pieces with finesse and fun.
Thanks for having a workshop with us Microsoft! You were a fantastic group and you made our jobs so easy and enjoyable, ^_^. Come back anytime! Click here for more photos from the Microsoft workshop!

SAP Labs stenciling tees
Graffiti action in the morning to start your day! Last Monday, October 17, 1AM had the pleasure of hosting a graffiti workshop for an awesome team of 12 from SAP Labs led by none other than SAP Lab-er Tim R. Their team arrived bright and early, fueled with bagels and coffee and ready to begin a day of graffiti festivities.
Eager to learn, their morning began with a history of graffiti lesson, followed by a mural walk tour around SoMa. After learning about graff art, it was time to gets some hands-on experience,.
With masks on and spray cans in hand, the SAP Labs team stenciled some dope looking tees and blasted out a funky fresh mural. Vibrant colors. Dots. Tags alongside the piece. What more could you ask for in a mural?

Gettin’ Splunk-ed!
Picture it: October 12, 2011. It was a hot and sunny afternoon, and there was a team of 21 from Splunk, Inc., geared up and ready for a Graffiti workshop.
But before they could start spraying, they took a history lesson or two from local graff legend Nate1. After that, the whole Splunk team scoped out the local murals around SoMa and then the spray paint fun began!
There was stenciling tees, there was spray practice, and of course, the painting of the mural. With spray cans in hand, the Splunk team painted a piece that was definitely “greater than”, ^_^.
A big thanks to Christina N. and Jeff I. from Splunk for coordinating the workshop with 1AM and thank you Splunk team for being such an awesome team to work with! Click here to check out more pics of their workshop.
