"KNOW YOUR ANCESTORS"

by Mike Tyau and Jesus Rodriquez

Born in Honolulu, Mike Tyau, aka Bam, has been connected with graffiti for more than 35 years. Since studying graphic design in San Francisco he has worked with some of the top video game and digital advertising companies. In May, 2018, Tyau collaborated with Jesus Rodriquez, aka Ease_Us, for BAMFest ( @BayAreaMuralFestival ) creating this eye catching mural on MLK Jr Way near Jack London Square in Oakland. Tyau says that "Besides the Olmec and Chinese motifs as ancestral guardian totems, we painted these to remind people to go to their pillars of support during these trying times. The leaves of the plants show how Mother Earth ties my background in Hawaii/Polynesia with Jesus’s background in Mexico/Central America, breaking down race, religion, color, we are all the same family."  @miketyau  @ease_us
