Piecing with DC5 in Chicago

I got to paint with Exhaust, Beond, Like and Jash a couple days before the battle in Chicago back in July. Talk about aloha spirit. My paints hadn't arrived so they let me use theirs for free. Painted the 3 tako (octopus) in about 4 hours.




The pink and blue piece is by Exhaust. He's a beast! He freestyles this stuff starting from the middle of the piece, working outwards.








Blue-orange piece by Beond.


Purple piece by Like.


Yellow piece by Jash DC5.



Very cool guys, real down to earth.

Chucho of Chicago

Chucho DC5 is a multitalented artist, the kind of person who seems to excel in any medium, be it painting, sculpting, tattooing. He has received about 16 commissions from the City of Chicago, through the Public Art Program. His favorite art form at the moment is stone carving.

His lettering favors classic New York styles (Duster, Skeme, etc.) with readable letters and connections. Favorite character artists: Katch, Slick, Coax AWR, Twist, Scribe and Os Gemeos. As a product of the '80s, Chucho is inspired by Robert Williams, Rat Fink and other low brow art.
