Great Work Estria! Estria also co-founded a mural arts group which continues to this day, Visual Element, a program that trains young artists on mural and graffiti traditions. He is one of the dopest artists I know. You can find his work in the new book, Reproduce & Revolt, as well.
Cool article. There is lots of wisdom here for young artists - Estria is one of the most amazing artists out there. But he also has found ways to try-fail-try again-and-succeed at making money while making his art. And that is truly an inspiration.
The interviewer helps us to see with the “eye” of Estria as his experiences influences his commentary on life. Estria converts his observation of forms and relationships and conveys his consciousness, quietly speaking to us of our unfinished work.

In order for a tree to grow, it needs roots and all the elements that surround it(water, air, sun, soil…)
Big ups to brother Estria. He’s definitely a legend in my books and in the books of the thosed he touched here in Hawaii.

As a writer from Hawai`i since 1984 myself, Estria was a hero to me then and a hero to me now… and the same can be said for Prime as well! ;p
