Anti Graffiti Coatings

Graffiti removal


Walkway Underpass Project:

Ecological Coatings EC-1800 Water-based Clear Anti-Graffiti Coating was the coating of choice to protect this 10,000 square foot Walkway Underpass which connects the residential side to the business side of town.

EC-1800 will not only protect the walls, ceiling, conduit and lighting fixtures from graffiti, but will also protect those areas from scuff marks caused by normal pedestrian movement through the walkway on a daily basis.

Additional graffiti prevention has been accomplished with the anti graffiti paint surface, brighter lighting fixtures and security cameras.

Our Anti Graffiti coatings and paints can be applied to stone, brick, block, tile, slate, wood, fiberglass, metals as well as over most sound coating and paint. Not only are these coatings the perfect choice for graffiti protection, but also excellent for areas where mar resistance is required, such as halls, doors, elevators and stairways. The low odor, quick dry formulation of our Clear coating enables it to be used safely in office buildings, schools, and hospitals.




Ecological Coatings Anti-Graffiti Coating and Anti-Graffiti Paint are water-based, green, low voc products, formulated for effective graffiti protection and exhibit high cross-linked densities, non-stick properties and excellent chemical resistance. Graffiti spray paint, permanent marker and pen sit on the surface of the coating but do not penetrate. Graffiti removal is simple using our Water-based, Non-toxic Graffiti Remover. Our coatings are permanent, so once graffiti spray paint or permanent marker is removed from the surface the coating remains, ready to protect against the next graffiti attack. Ecological Coatings offers a wide wariety of graffiti prevention products and customer support to assist you with proven technology and techniques to help prevent graffiti attacks in the future.

Four Guardians Production for City of Oakland

The City of Oakland is testing out a radical (for California) concept of commissioning murals in redevelopment areas in the hopes of deterring vandalism while improving the area. In this case they understood the importance of supporting urban art that would be well received by both the surrounding community and the graffiti community. It was great that youth participation was a requirement of the project, because that gives more people a sense of ownership of the mural, and community pride.

This may be the largest and most visible mural within Oakland city limits. Created for the City of Oakland, it measures 22' H x 125' L. It faces the train tracks and 880 freeway.

connecto1_sm.jpg

The concept was developed by 357 and myself. 357 designed the phoenix. I designed the rest. Our goal here was for the larger shapes to be easily identifiable from the highway, and if people walk up to the wall, then they will see the details in each one. We have incorporated elements from contemporary hip-hop art forms within the body of each creature with the intention of connecting the younger generation with the old myths, culture, and ways.

Here is the traditional meaning behind each creature. Many pardons if we have butchered this.

kirin.jpg

KIRIN (UNICORN)
It ate fire in its ravenous fury, but it was specially praised for being able to discriminate between good and evil, and that it would gore the wicked whenever it meets them. Appearing only when there was a wise and virtuous ruler, and that it had a discriminating mind that enabled it to know when benevolent rulers or wise sages would appear in the world. It was considered to be able to walk on water, and that it had a perfect goodwill, gentleness, and benevolence to all living creatures. It is so gentle that when it walks it is careful not to tread on the tiniest living creature and will not even eat live grass but only what is dead. The span of this animal's natural life is a thousand years. In Chinese mythology, the Unicorn was an animal of good omen that came to humans only on important missions.

phoenix.jpg

FENGHUANG (PHOENIX)
In Chinese mythology, the phoenix is the symbol of high virtue and grace, of power and prosperity. It represents the union of yin and yang. It was thought to be a gentle creature, alighting so gently that it crushed nothing, and eating only dewdrops. It symbolized the Empress usually in a pairing with a dragon (the dragon representing the Emperor), and only Empress could wear the phoenix symbol. The phoenix represented power sent from the heavens to the Empress. If a phoenix was used to decorate a house it symbolized that loyalty and honesty was in the people that lived there. Jewelry with the phoenix design showed that the wearer was a person of high moral values, and so the phoenix could only be worn by people of great importance.

dragon.jpg

DRAGON
The Chinese New Year Dragon is the emblem of guardianship and vigilance. The Chinese dragon has long been a potent symbol of auspicious power in folklore and art. The Dragon is a beneficent and gracious creature and is worshipped as the divine ruler of Lakes, Rivers and Seas. It is the powerful yet gentle ‘Loong" that brings rain to the earth, hasten the crops and cools the toiling framer. The Chinese dragon is traditionally also the embodiment of the concept of yang (male) and associated with the weather as the bringer of rain and water in an agriculturally water-driven nation. Its female counterpart is the Fenghuang (phoenix).

The dragon is the largest character I have painted to date. It took Mike Bam and I ten days to paint. It is equal to four normal sized pieces.

tortoise.jpg

TORTOISE
The tortoise represents longevity, of steadfast effort, of deliberate action that inevitably leads to success. The combination of the Dragon and Tortoise combines the qualities of both animals into a potent symbol of success and longevity. Dragon Tortoise symbolizes good fortune and longevity.

Vogue and Erin Yoshi helped pull this tortoise together in 6 days.

David Platford came through and drew all the mountains. Vogue and I painted all the trees, which was the most fun, unrestricted things to paint in the whole project. The background was rolled out by many friends and students from Visual Element.

The two teeth under the tongue are my favorite things I painted in this production. I like the pink glow, the shadows, and the depth.

Here is the original mock up. We stayed pretty faithful to it.

We could not have done it without the help of many friends and supporters. Thank you all!

Clarion Alley Mural Cuba x Estria x Ceyba

Here's a two day production I did with the legendary Cuba in San Francisco's famous Clarion Alley. It runs between Mission St. and Valencia St. between 17th and 18th Streets.

We painted this freestyle jam a week after the Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle in October. It was a huge honor for me to finally paint with one of the first graffiti artists on the west coast. Cuba started painting in '79 in Baltimore and got serious in SF in '83. It was also an historic moment for me as it was my first mural in Clarion.

clarion_whole0910.jpg

Cuba's health is not good, yet no complaints. He just got up on the ladder and did his thing. You got to admire that. Such a cool, humble cat. Doesn't call himself a king despite a long list of firsts under his belt. The man just loves to paint, and you can't help but feel that around him. It's contagious.

cuba_estria_cu.jpg

Clarion is well known as a mural alley. Whereas SF's first mural alley, Balmy Alley is known for political murals, Clarion is known for being open to subject matter. Yes it does include some hipster stuff.

Thanks to Ceyba for video taping and interviewing Cuba. (We'll post later.) Thank you also for bringing the family and homies and making it a great day to be alive in la Mission.

San Antonio- Stencils


San Antonio- Cleaning up the Streets



I hit the Mexican Manhattan in the first of Oct 2009. 7th biggest city in the states should have dope paint, but it appears the city is trying to clean up the city, so most of the paint I found were white washes over previous work (I found tons of these above). Below are some of the none covered up pieces, nothing great, but after 3 days of hunting, that was all I found.

The Campaign

LIFE is LIVING... is a national campaign that uses a new form of green spoken story telling- one that represents the changing perspectives on what it means to be environmentally just. We seek to inspire people to take the value they see in their LIFE and establish it powerfully as a new voice to define what it means to be logistically and psychologically included in the new, clean and green economies. The "Going Green Movement" is still largely perceived by those living in poor communities and communities of color as inaccessible or irrelevant. Capturing the living moments of people in these communities, we create a bridge of culturally relevant & personalized conversations. We see this as a method of increasing our communities' power to influence and benefit from the Green movement, as well as bringing LIFE to environmental injustices. The campaign includes a traveling environmental caucus & concert, an invitational Living Word Graffiti Battle, live action sports, and hands on Green building activities.

Doors


Ever since Graffiti went from the trains to the streets, doors have become a popular surface for writers in the city. For the most part doors offer a smooth surface conducive to markers and paint and are areas of high traffic offering the writer guaranteed visibility. Many doors attract tags from passing writers and end up swathed in marker, shoe polish, paint, and inks. Back alleys or street fronts, in Montreal you'll always find some bombed out doors. Here are some local doors that I have found over the last few years.
