Secret Walls came through Denver for the first time, a special event Saturday night at Knew Conscious gallery as a part of Colorado Crush. Secret Walls is a travelling global illustration battle that relies on only black paint on white canvas, giving teams of artists 90 minutes to create a masterpiece, and the audience votes. The international and national artists canvas was represented by Lolo YS, Blaine Fontana, David Shillinglaw, Sam Parker, and David Rice. The locals were represented by Michael Ortiz, Jaime Molina, Joseph Martinez, Mike Graves, and Samuel Lee Turner. While both teams boasted unbelievable talent, it's no surprise that the Denver team took home the win. All photos by Lindsey Bartlett.
