CREW MANIFESTO & LINEAGE

Those Damn Kids — The Dream Kontinues from East Oakland to the World.

Founded in 1985 in Oakland, California by the late legendary Mike 'DREAM' Francisco, TDK originally stood for 'Those Damn Kids' before also adopting 'The Dream Krew' and 'The Dream Kontinues' following Dream's tragic passing in 2000. Led today by veteran masters including Vogue and Spie, TDK is the crown jewel of Bay Area aerosol art.
