So what did you do on your spring vacation? I know, me neither. But Sheryo and The Yok did and are back in BK after their extended trip that took them to Mexico and Australia where they hit a number of walls on their adventures. Fresh off the plane, they are cracking open the aerosol cans and telling tales about their trips abroad. It seems like in a matter of days they have executed two complete and detailed murals that reveal that their individual styles are sometimes distinct, other times ever-more complimentary on walls in Queens and Brooklyn.
First, in what could possibly be the 5Pointz own version of the upcoming Cherry Blossom season, take a look at “Pipe Dreams”, inspired by traditional Japanese art and calligraphy, with some obvious liberties taken. Afterwards we have a “Road Trip” at the Bushwick Collective, which could be an animated version of the sort of characters they met while tooling around and painting while travelling, and if that’s the case, no wonder they came back!
