graffiti battle

Saturday was the 3rd Annual Estria Graffiti Battle over in Oakland, and I had the chance to get some good shots of the action.

24 artists from around the country gathered at DeFremery Park to showcase their skills. The theme of the day was “grow,” with each artist free to interpret this theme through their piece.

Tenfold, from SF.

Let your mind grow…
