About

MadGraf is a collaboration of the artistic endeavors of Rachelle Foronda & Dennis Madamba. They also are the Isang Himig Multicultural Acappella o8-o9 Co-Coordinators... and BFFs.

Birthed beneath J.Baskin bridge, spray cans inspired their creative proliferation. This blog is about the ill art they behold and envision through music, graffiti, food, photography, fashion, nature, design, and architecture.

Dennis Madamba is from Concord, CA. He studies Fine Arts with a concentration in Drawing and Painting at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Dennis is currently working on his portfolio before applying to grad school... hopefully, somewhere far away.

Rachelle Foronda-Gacutan is from San Francisco, CA, but lived some of her younger years in Ben Lomond, Santa Cruz. She is now in her sophomore year at the University of California, Santa Cruz, studying Environmental Studies and Economics.

Her passions lie in all forms of craft including writing, singing, cooking, music-writing, poetry, spoken word, theater arts, massage, sketching, and graffiti art.

Rachelle dreams to travel the world to study cultural, culinary, and environmental arts, while working for an international conservation biology/natural resource economy organization.

Etymology of "MadGraf"
Dennis MADamba + Rachelle Angelina Foronda-Gacutan (RAFG) ==> G-RAF =

MADGRAF. Also means: Mad Graffiti or An Angry Giraffe... hence the giraffe stencil.
