MAKE YOUR MARK Graffiti Zone Presented By Juxtapoz: This interactive graffiti art installation, featuring Los Angeles-based artist Vyal from Risk Rock Studios, will showcase multiple live demonstrations and will allow AFTERSHOCK artists and fans the chance to add to the exhibit. Vyal Reyes began his career as an artist in 1990, when he dedicated himself to using spray paint as his “weapon of choice” to create art. A self-taught artist, Vyal’s work quickly grabbed the attention of fellow graffiti artists as well as galleries in Los Angeles and around the globe. Although his work has evolved, it is still recognizable as his own, with bright colors, refined shading and complex yet simple approaches to his medium and surfaces. His trademark “eyes” always find a way into his pieces. When he is not painting murals or canvases, Vyal teaches aerosol art classes to youth and adults at Self Help Graphics in Boyle Heights, CA, where he has been an artist in residence since 2011.

Marshall Headphones: Festival attendees are invited to try Marshall Headphones while they wait to play mini golf. Marshall is a true rock legend. That uniquely clear and expressive sound combined with a mythical stage presence has enraptured music fans around the world for five decades. The legacy began in a small drum shop in Hanwell in the 1960s, where Jim Marshall sought to give a bunch of then-local guitarists the sound they wanted – a sound that was harder, crunchier and more rich. The result was the JTM45, an amp that reverberated with a sound that was much heavier than anything ever heard before. In a twist of rock and roll fate, those guitarists, much like the Marshall name, would go on to revolutionize music forever.

 Fxck Cancer: Fxck Cancer’s mission is to fight cancer by raising awareness and to educate about early cancer detection, ultimately putting an end to late stage cancer diagnosis.
