Red Bull has always been an avid supporter of the graffiti and hip-hop culture, and it doesn’t look like they are stopping. When a brand supports a scene for so long and puts on events that showcase true talent, it always puts a smile on our face. Wreckers Yard is just that. An event dedicated to showcasing graffiti artists. And when we say “graffiti artists”, we mean it. They haven’t picked only street artists and coated them with the “graffiti” name (like alot of brands do), they’ve chosen carefully.

“Red Bull Wreckers Yard, is a Trans-Tasman graff competition. There are seven qualifier rounds in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Auckland and Wellington. In each city 8 of the local graff artists battle it out in a round robin live painting comp where they’re given a theme to paint one minute before the clock starts. The winners from all seven cities will be flown to Melbourne for the Trans Tasman final on June 25th @ The Evelyn Hotel.”

Melbourne artists were Barnacle B, Prizm, Jorrz, Makatron, Dvate, Prozac, Shida. Itch won the Melbourne battle.
