About TMD Crew
TMD is a crew that many consider synonymous with New Zealand graffiti art – although their membership spans the globe with Germany’s Can2, Sinae, Atom and Wow123, and Australia’s Sirum and Vans the Omega. Spawned during the Auckland graffiti boom of the mid-90’s, TMD has its origins in West Auckland. Fourteen years on the collectives work is found in every corner of the globe, covering USA, Asia, Europe and the United Kingdom. Despite humble beginnings TMD has battled against the confines of geographical isolation and has emerged as one of the front-runners in the international aerosol art world.

Primary Flight is set to take place from 02 December – 05 December 2010.
The main focus of Primary Flight is to provide a catalyst for burgeoning art communities, a goal TMD strongly believe in. With Askew having already broken ground the previous year at this event, and as an incredible opportunity for any artist, the stage is now set for a Kiwi invasion.
