While in Baltimore last month, we had the opportunity to visit Urban Evolution, a first-rate gym that is also a graffiti lover’s wonderland. Pictured above is by Newark-based Syko Roxx. What follows are several more pieces — many by NJ-based writers — that have made their way onto the walls of Urban Evolution:
NJ-based Emo
NYC-based Spot, KMS
NJ-based 4sakn
Baltimore-based Meca with fragment of piece by Grope above it
NJ-based Veer One
NJ-based Tiper
NJ-based Torch Fuego
And Baltimore-based dlordink
Note: Urban Evolution is located at 6801 Eastern Avenue in Baltimore, MD
