WALL LORDS UPDATE

Exactly 14 days til WALL LORDS people!
We're all really excited for this and we're pretty sure you are too!

But before anything else, we have a simple request for everyone at the event,
ABSOLUTELY NO TAGGING PLEASE!! :)
We cannot stress this enough folks. This could get you (or the crew you're affiliated with) kicked out of the event. So yeah, deadly serious. We will have a tag wall set-up during the event so we hope everybody can comply with this.

In case you haven't had the chance to check out the new poster, please do so now!
Nothing much has changed except that ENTRANCE IS FREE! :)
There really is no reason for you to miss this at all.

August 7; The Collective; 1-9PM

Nuno Favorite Piece

This is Nuno...bow down.
3 years strong and he's only getting better.

Kid Dragon

Kid Dragon is the future of piecing in the Philippines. His letter styles are on point, and progressive. If somebody's A.D.D.actually benefit them, then the KID has something beautiful coming out of that energy. This is why I admire his work, because he can express the energy within him and make that shit pop out into a wall. Albeit young he has learned to have a solid letter form and evolves style - wise into a rate that is above par. The factor that separates him from the rest of the pack is the concepts and execution of his pieces are of high grade quality. As one of the younger members of KST , he has shown that age does not matter. And that there may be another species in local graffiti that is evolving.

Now in the local scene there are lovers and haters, Kid Dragon has both equally divided.
Opinions may be thrown left and right about this talent but all must learn that you shouldn't hate what you can't imitate.

Do You Know EKIS?

Ekis is a member of KST and is one of the fastest evolving writers in the Philippines to date. He is also a graphic artist. He started bombing using a character skull with an X for eyes and soon he evolved as one of the most talented and multi - versed writers here in the Philippines. Maybe, if you keep your third eye peeled, and aimed around the city... you'll see his EKIS tags with perfect circles as the accent? This is proof of how he experiments constantly with different styles.



He can do it all from tags to bubble - like letters and also monster letters. EKIS is strongly rooted with the concept of letter - forms as the basis for his styles. His background for painting has always been strongly against the government. Ekis is one of those people who hates the proverbial system and aims to show his disapproval for it by taking it out on the streets. He is one of those people to watch out for because of his exponential growth and consistency as a writer.

OCTOBER 10 YOU GIVE AND YOU GET.

Here is your New poster. Releasing tonight at 8pm. KST releases the RISE poster. CUBAO X. All proceeds go to Red Cross and ADMU task force ondoy.



The KST Rise print release , coincides with Meiday at Cubao X. I say you must experience BEEEYES , a band you might have heard of and are unheard of. Their taste with music is always ahead of the majority's...this sound for your ears will be your nosebleed.

I've known these cats for a few years now and I admire how they have evolved musically into a sound that I am sure not a lot if Filipinos are aware of. But these guys don't really mind being different, because they don't try to.

KST LIMITED POSTER PRINTS. RISE.

RISE

In the after math of typhoon ONDOY, there has been an uprising. The country stopped for awhile to help out and do what they can.

In these trying times everyone has lost something and gained. Something lost means you have to regain it or else, you lose the essence of survival.We must demonstrate the class of what life presently is and could be.Let us put more action into our theories and beliefs.
