New Retna & Dame Wall - in Action.

I got lucky Saturday when just a few blocks from my apartment I came across Retna and Dame working on a new wall on Virgil.

Above, Dame working on his part of the wall.

Lots of skating near the painting. Here's what the wall had looked like before it's rehabilitation.

Still a work in progress when these were taken. Will post more of the completed work shortly.

i took these flicks (http://upnup.blogspot.com/2008/01/wynwood.html) a few weeks ago in Wynwood, which is in Miami. The piece of the girl looks similar to Retna's style. What do you think?

Ha! This is excellent eddie! Thanks for the link. I had heard of this guy's work from somewhere, but it's cool to see it in action.

David, the picture of the girl was done by Retna and The Mac during the Art Basil Show a few months ago. See:

Ralph, thanks! Those are some great pictures, I work for a clothing line called D.A.D.E., and I'm always in that area. There is some great art by there.
