The Da Mental Vaporz crew was created in 1999 by Bom.k and Iso within the Paris suburbs. Soon joined by Kan, they stood out by making huge murals in sordid lands within the southern suburbs, showcasing different subjects from traditional graffiti (previously confined to either block letters or cartoon characters and bubbles). Thus, their artworks can span over tens of meters high and wide, depicting monstrous characters, madness and the imminent end of times.

 

In the 2000s, Jaw from Cavaillon joined the collective with his crazy contorted characters and lettering. Gris came to strengthen the crew with his expertise of old school graffiti codes and madness vectors.

 

Brusk from Lyon, vandal master with "3D honour" followed shortly and brought Dran touch of cynicism and childlike characters to the collective. Eventually in 2008 Sowat successfully managed to join the crew with his flops and calligraffiti ... and discreetly integrate Blo with his dislocated dolls to darken the whole scenery.
