Here’s a look at some of the many murals from this year’s POW! WOW! Hawaii festival! The image above is one of our favourites — Lauren YS and ONEQ destroyed this wall. Highlights from this year included artists talks from Logan Hicks and Shepard Fairey (who also celebrated his birthday during the festival), and an interactive sculptural piece by Aaron De La Cruz where people could take pieces home with them.

All photos here were shot by Brandon Shigeta, Lanny Nguyen and Jasper Wong.
