On the composition
The Yok: We try and do work that’s specific to the area. We thought it would be fun to have local characters—like the cockroach, or the rat, or the hot dog, or the lonely pizza at the bodega—on a road trip out of Bushwick to somewhere warmer. They’re all wearing summer clothes and flip-flops and sunglasses, and there’s a skull with the surfboard; they’re going to Mexico for the winter.

Brooklyn-based street artists the Yok (theyok.com) and Sheryo (sheryoart.com) spray-painted this mural, Road Trip, at the Bushwick Collective over four days in April 2013, having recently returned to New York after a seven-month, globe-trotting trip in which they put up pieces in Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, Dubai, Australia and Mexico. Find the mural on Troutman Street between Irving and Wyckoff Avenues, just down the block from Chris Stain and Billy Mode’s work, Invent the Future. The Yok and Sheryo explain how the piece came together, from concept to location scouting and execution.
