Our Journal — graffiti RSS

One of the pillars that Gahyao was founded on was to push ourselves, both creatively and physically - to always try something new. Growing up in the 90s, skateboarding and punk rock were definitely a subculture in HK (more so in Manila), so I was naturally drawn to graffiti and tattoo culture too. Graffiti was something I always admired from a distance, I never thought I’d have the hands or the skill set to get something up from scratch.Last October I decided to take that insecurity and break it, to go out there and try it myself. The end result was not what I had in my head, but the hardest part is done, now I can only push forward....

Last March we were fortunate enough to have done a trip to California. It is without a doubt that California played an important role in shaping the skateboarding and surfing scene. Everything about the lifestyle rings true to the very core of Gahyao - skate, grafitti, music and art. Photos shot with a Disposable Lomography Camera and 35mm film. Enjoy the #photodump.    

Part of what we want to achieve here at Gahyao is to promote the many talents that Asians have to offer. The dust has settled from HK Walls 2019, we take a few minutes to catch up with Wing Chow.
