It had been years since my buddy Kub and I painted a wall together. Back in 2004 or 2005 we would head out every weekend to hit yards, legals, street spots, and everything in between from Ventura County to San Diego. Back then it was always me, him & our third friend Kryst. None of us had real jobs... we just painted... a lot. As the years went on I started working every weekend, Kryst had a couple kids (well his chick did, not him, but they were still his), and Kub got out of Southern California for a while before settling into a regular grown up job.

Fast forward five years and older, more tattooed, employed versions of ourselves met up over on Lincoln Blvd. in Venice to paint together for the first time in ages. And it was exactly why I got into graffiti in the first place. I had an absolute fucking blast hanging out, painting, and catching up with a good friend that I barely noticed that the sun was gettin lower in the sky and that I had to get my ass to work (a problem I didn't have back when we first started painting together). So, until the next time Kub & I paint again here are a couple photos of that day in Venice...
