TMD Crew crush it in NZ

Had the privilege to see Askew painting at Primary Flight earlier this month, and today I came across these two amazing walls he was involved with (along with other members of the TMD Crew) in New Zealand. These are, to put it very mildly, some of my favorite pieces of graffiti in 2009.

Deus, Askew and Berst
Stray, Vents, Askew, Shake, Misery and Berst

You can check out the TMD Crew website for the full story behind these walls and more pictures (and should check it out if only to see these images larger).
