For a week and a half straight, Mike Maxwell has been posting up at The Bakery in Barrio Logan, inviting 25+ artists to collaborate with him on a 20 x 8 foot wall. The Live Free Wall, as Maxwell calls it, is a collaborative street art project heading for MCASD's Thursday Night Thing on August 12th. On each of the 10 days, the wall has seen installations come and go at a rapid pace, some not lasting more than a couple hours. Maxwell lined up an allstar cast to layer thier work on top of each others, including Persue, Neko, Kevin Peterson, and Exist 1981 just to name a few.
This project culminated with a 10 minute time lapse pieced together by Rebecca and Kevin Joelson.

We met up with Maxwell yesterday, to place a few stickers around the East Village. Each one has a message on it, that you need to find and complete. The first three people to comment the message and the sticker's location on Sezio's Facebook Page will win a pair of tickets to Thursday Night Thing @ MCASD.

Due to our late night with Beach Fossils, Sezio regretfully missed Saturday's Tijuana leg of the street art bike tour, but after a restful Saturday we were out in full force on Sunday. 200+ met at the Obey mural in Hillcrest ready to take to the streets. With a camera strapped to his bike and over his shoulder, Charles Bergquist documented Sunday's trek.
After a three hour tour through the neighborhoods, Chicano Park, and Downtown, we ended our ride at MCASD, current home of the ground-breaking exhibit Viva La Revolucion. There we were met with free Honest Tea and a complimentary bike valet courtesy of the San Diego Bike Coalition. A huge thanks to everyone who came out this weekend, and to our event partners Set & Drift, and Turista Libre. Viva Tijuego!

As promised, we're giving away memberships to Sezio and MCASD along with gift certificates to El Camino, Velo Cult and El Take It Easy to the two best Flickr albums submitted. Representing Saturday's ride in TJ is David Cannon and his comprehensive documentation of Tijuana's rich street art. See David's full album here.
And for our San Diego winner, we have Nadja Lancelot and her brilliant photos from Sunday's ride. View her album here.
A big congrats to both of our winners! And thanks again to everyone who came out for the rides.
