The Dew Mural, created by Captain Kris and SiMitchell was just completed on the streets of trendy East London to celebrate the launch of the Mountain Dew Bootcamp coming to the UK.

Competition was fierce, with skaters battling it out at the park to win the coveted first prize – a place at the Dew Tour Am Series at the iconic Museumplein in Amsterdam and a VIP skate trip to Los Angeles to meet and skate with the pros from the Dew team.    
Chris Oliver won first place and will travel to Amsterdam later this year, with Chris competing in the Dew Tour Am Series on August 30 at the iconic Museumplein.

Consisting of 4 panels, each 4.3m wide by 2.8m tall, the overall mural is approximately 18.5 metres wide and 3 metres tall.

However, graffiti outside of the red area would be removed via pressure washing. This prompted the start of an experiment. Unlike other works, I was very uncertain as to what results it would yield. Here is what transpired over the course of a year. --Mobstr
