Minus WON

On 10-15-2011, our good friend Alvaro "Minus WON" Angeles passed away. We were very sadden by the heart breaking news. Minus was one of the original members of The Infinity Crew (IC), which is Dallas first graffiti crew. He was a huge inspiration to the Sour Grapes and we were extremely honored to have earned his respect. The amount of support that he showed us was very inspirational to keep us active as a crew. Minus was one of the guys that we looked up to because he was a true pioneer to the Dallas graffiti scene. His letter styles were very unique and original and they developed throughout his years as a writer. He was a true artist and his passion radiated so much that you could sense it in the aura that he had. We have the most highest amount of respect for Minus and we plan on keeping his legacy alive. Without all of his contributions to the Dallas art scene, a lot of artist would not exist today.

The day following his passing, a big group of writers got together to paint a wall in his memory. It was great to see everyone coming together in remembrance of our fallen brother. We will always remember him and we will keep his name alive. May he Rest In Paradise.

MetroPCS X Sour Grapes



We had the privilege to put our touch on a local Metro PCS vendor this past week. Arma and I collaborated on this wall while Mikey took footage. The shop is located in the shopping center at the intersection of Cockrell Hill Rd. and Illinois St. in Oak Cliff. We had a lot of fun working on this one, and Players next door was bumping all the 90's Latin Hip-Hop classics while we were painting. Peace and Love.

Dj Sopa SG XIII


When it comes to creating art and brainstorming new ideas, nothing fuels the mind better than good music. Dj Sopa sets the mood at the Sour Grapes Studio and continues to spread his love of music through out the city, having sealed a few deals with different gigs during SXSW in Austin TX and other spots around Dallas, its pretty safe to say his musical future looks bright. Feel free to shoot us an email if you wanna have DJ SOPA spin at your next event... peace and one love!

Manhattan Nights

Earlier this week we had the opportunity of painting a mural for the good people over at Manhattan Bar. The concept was pretty simple and we were able to break away from the lettering side of things and create this sweet image of a sexy lady. It's always fun collaborating with my brother on murals, especially if its something we're both excited about... who doesn't love a sexy lady? Special thanks to Corey Pope for hooking us up with this joint... peace
