Mother Bear Graffiti

Nychos and Flying Fortress, both well-known for their clean, detailed characters created an impressing piece, showing the anatomy of a pregnant mother bear – what a great idea! Hopefully they are keen for some more collaboration productions this year – I will keep you posted. But now, watch the documentary and like their styles!

For more info about the both graffiti artists, visit rabbiteyemovement.tumblr.com or flying-fortress.blogspot.com.

Plane Graffiti on Abandoned Aircrafts

What started with a somehow disturbing promo-video almost a year ago, recently resulted in amazing plane graffiti: More than 30 artists have participated in the Boneyard Project’s Round Trip including DC Super 3 planes painted by graffiti artists How & Nosm, Nunca and Retna, a C97 cockpit by Saner, a C45 plane by Faile, and a Lockheed VC 140 Jetstar by Andrew Schoultz (via aviationpros.com)!

The Boneyard Project is not simply a unique opportunity to give major contemporary artists an amazing canvas of being able to make art out of a plane, it is a chance for us all to examine our own cultural relationship to airplanes and to the archetypal ideal of traveling through the skies. (Boneyard Project)

It’s just amazing to see those old, abandoned (military) jetplanes being reused as canvases for some of the most talented graffiti artists! For more photos visit theflopbox.com or ericfirestonegallery.com.

It documents in a minimal and quite manner the wintry atmosphere of a local tram yard and shows us graffiti artists taking advantage of the favourable, frosty situation to paint some iron…

Environment influences any person, alters his mood and actions. Each place has its own spirit. The choice of a place highly depends on the experience and result you are aiming at. There is no other place we know with such an atmoshpere that can compete with the tram yard at night. It is like a maze of iron, dark forest, broad field and peaceful slough at the same time. (Vova Chernyshev)

Conclusion: Really nice, successful and worth to watch!

You can see a lot of train graffiti in Berlin and I already saw the weirdest things like semi-automated train graffiti devices, other stuff and of course I know fire extinguisher graffiti and ink tank paintings, but I’ve never heard about people using fire extinguishers to paint their trains – until yesterday…

High Speed Train Graffiti

On my regular way through Berlin I had to wait at Ostkreuz for my train and was pleasantly surprised when that blue dripping babe entered the station. In my eyes this is definitely the next step of train graffiti, taking the fire extinguisher technique to another level! And it perfectly shows what more anti-graffiti cops and criminalization carry through:

For their passion, writers have to speed up what often results in more or less quick and dirty styles using just a few colors. Using fire extinguishers to create train graffiti is just another way to speed up the entire process – but it looks just great!

What you see here are some quick snapshots I was able to get using my phone. If you know more fire extinguisher train graffiti, or if you have more photos, write a comment and let me know!

The short documentary series 1st To Do It, which chronicles some of the most innovative, daring and unknown maverick’s in the fields of art, music, sports and fashion, now featured him and his story, including comments by some of the most influential US-American writers…

It’s often disputed in the world of graffiti just who was the first writer to put their moniker up illegally. The vanguard of American graffiti artists, including REVOK, RIME and SABER contribute to the legend of Larry Lovebone, who many art historians have disregarded and omitted from the chronicles of style-writing due to his other cultural contributions during the sexual revolution in the 1960s. In his own words, Mr. Lovebone tells the tale of his infamous tag and its origins in his ability to bed copious amounts of women from every race, culture, creed and religion.

From Art Print Study to Urban Regeneration

Know for his very architectural, abstract style, ZEDZ investigates new forms of graffiti, by regarding graffiti as 3D objects. In this way he links sculpting and writing and creates an unique way of painting walls…

Back in 2009, I was invited to photograph him and some other famous graffiti artists like SeakOne while painting at the Thalys graffiti event in Paris. But compared to the so-called urban regeneration action he implement last December in Italy, this was nothing, because this new public painting involved more than 1000 m² and is protected by an innovative paint developed in Japan!

The result is just impressing – a massive concrete wall transporting different green tones which although flat, create a real three-dimensional collage in public space. Well done ZEDZ – rrban regeneration rockz!
