Estria's 2nd Annual Invitational Graffiti Battle at DeFremery Park

I was able to dip out of LA for a couple hours to "defend the title" at Estria's 2nd Annual Invitational Graffiti Battle at DeFremery Park aka Little Bobby Hutton in West Oakland. This was a beautiful day in the park. There were live preformances by Mos Def, Goapele, Los Rakas with Dj Leydis and Ill Literacy. There was a Scraper Bike exhibition, a skate park and some green bamboo architecture. I kinda wanted to hang out rather than paint... But it was an honor to paint along side some of these graff legends. Here's the line up.

Bounce TYS, defending champion, (Berkeley)
Done TDK (Oakland)

I thought Pose 2 or Apex should have taken the title, but I can't complain. Its an honor to take the title for the 2nd year in a row.
