Wall Expressions 2019 Part Two
Part two of Wall Expressions which is a continuation of the same laneway that they did back in 2017. There were less artists this year than in 2017.. about 1/2 I would estimate.
Hungr Mural
They added this new mural by Hungr at the entrance of the alley. You can learn more about Hungr by reading this interview that he did with Bombing Science two years ago.
When did you start writing? I started looking at graffiti and taking pictures in 04/05. Didn’t start sketching and painting until 2006

Silestyle161 Mural
This years project featured a lot of graffiti writers.. and Silestyle161 would be one.
There are a lot of Vaughn Bodē influences in many murals that I have seen.
From Wiki:
Vaughn Bodē (/boʊˈdiː/;[3] July 22, 1941 – July 18, 1975) was an American underground cartoonist and illustrator known for his character Cheech Wizard and his artwork depicting voluptuous women. A contemporary of Ralph Bakshi, Bodē has been credited as an influence on Bakshi’s animated films Wizards and The Lord of the Rings. Bodē has a huge following among graffiti artists, with his characters remaining a popular subject.

Trevor Goodwin or Tuffy Tats did this mural. He is as you probably guessed a tattoo artist.
Peru143 Mural
This mural by Peru143 has a graffiti writer style.
From his website:
A proponent of the ‘Graffuturism’ movement and avid traveler who has called many cities “home,” Peru’s art troubles physical and temporal boundaries to uncover novel ways of experiencing otherwise unremarkable spaces

Virtual Tombstone Mural
