I’ve been shooting photos for quite some time but have been focused on graffiti for about ten years now. I first set out to capture the old gems I grew up seeing. Most of them no longer exist, but seeing how quickly times are changing made me feel a need to document as much as possible.

LA PIZZA DEL ESTE LA // CHEF EMMANUEL “MANNY” VASQUEZ.
I wanted to use pizza as a platform and add fine dining Mexican food on top of it. I wanted to take the slice as a vessel and extend that to everyone in the neighborhoods – the day laborer, the kids from public school. It’s elevating the culture, merging a fine dining aspect with the reach of real communities.
PRISON AFFAIR. <ESP>
Realmente no hay ningún objetivo o mensaje claro detrás del Prison Affair. No es nada sesudo, más bien algo… Idiota.

MALA INFLUENCIA – PUNK POSTERS Desde BOGOTÁ! <ESP>
Mala Influencia es una invitación a que cada persona haga lo que quiera, lo que pueda imaginar. En realidad, no hay buenas ni malas influencias; la vida te pone las cartas sobre la mesa y solamente tú decides qué quieres hacer y qué camino tomar.

Crecí entre dos costas, Nueva York y Tijuana, Baja California. Hace poco he estado pintando Ciudad de México. Siento que hay mucha más policía en Nueva York y cultura pandillera en California. Tijuana tiene un poco de todo: policía, gánsteres deportados, cárteles, de todo. Viviendo entre ellos fue como visitando crisoles de culturas distintos. Todo lo que he aprendido viajando se ha condensado en un solo nombre, igual que estos lugares.

I grew up between two coasts, NYC and Tijuana, Baja California. Lately I’ve been painting Mexico City. I feel like there’s a lot more police in New York and gang culture in California. Tijuana is a little bit of everything: police, deported gangsters, cartels, everything. Living between them all was like visiting separate, distinct melting pots. Everything I’ve picked up from traveling has all melted down to one name, just like these places.

It’s never about the writer or person creating the journalism. It’s always about the subject, and I feel like that’s been lost.
