2009

Stop making sense.

Just voted "artwork of the year 2008" by Nielzer of Trendbeheer;

"Zwischenzeit" by Mischa Leinkauf and Matthias Wermke



And I agree.

If you did not see it in 2008, do so in 2009. Or certainly any other work that comes from the hands of these guys in the new year. Grossartig.

wtf?

I know the economic situation is bad, but this bad? Getting people's attention with she-male spraypaint sales is some next level shit yo.

Evelien Lohbeck

I bumped into her work in the newspaper ( NRC ), not yet graduated and already prominent media-attention, it reminded me of how important that sort of attention has become nowadays. More important maybe than what it really is about. Good ideas, promising talent but just not as impressive as the article suggests...(the Dutch Michel Gondry?)

DIE IN A FIRE BANSKY YOU BASTARD

For a change. Somebody that does not seem to like Banksy (or Bansky):

Vandal. Go to hell. Tagging isnt art, its damaging to business. Theres 10000 assholes trying to be like you, and I'm tired of being fined $150 a day by the city for not being able to spend 4 hours a day removing this shit. I've had to layoff my ONLY two employees, and I still have to pay their UC. I have borrowed 100k for a small shop and every cent I've made in six months I have paid to graffiti removers, materials doing it myself, security cams and in fines. DIE IN A FIRE BANSKY YOU BASTARD

Can somebody tell this guy's tattooist the bike won't ride when the seattube is not attached to the bottom-bracket? Thanks.

Part of the artwork I did for our 4th release on 3024; 2 tracks by 2562.
And it is another great addition..."Embrace" and "Hijack", very different tracks but both really deep and atmospheric, well...both very 2562! I love it.
Audio here. Out soon!

Miami Art Basel drama

What was that all about? It seems as if suddenly all big names in both graff and streetart have become art-fair-artists. Clashes seem inevitable with so many people on the same turf...

TOUR DE VILLE LONDON #02

The fine people of Tour De Ville did a fantastic job (thanks to many people helping out) fixing their bikeshop. Go check it out, not just your average fluor fixie outlet, but some real nice classic stuff, frames, bikes, parts and a coffeebar. Oh. And some (nut-freezing)outside wall-decoration as well. Thanks Jos, Keith, Dalston, Tanya, Jeroen, Tom and Laura and all other nice people I met.






The opening:



The walls:




plus more soon.

LONDON ALLEYCAT

If you fart in London...

..it's world news.

(The kid that supposedly was sued by Damien Hirst. Who cares? Exactly. Everybody.)

OUCH!

Sao Paulo keeps impressing me...thinking about the point of getting up, going out in the cold getting your name up, toys, kings, fame, keeping it real...all of this gets a different meaning watching this.

TOUR DE VILLE LONDON

A little interview on Tour De Ville London's blog...I can't wait to see the shop, the space and the bikes...Open on 13th of December with some fresh imagery on the walls...if the weather allows it. More here.
