An artist often mentioned by danish writers is artist Per Arnoldi. Known for poster art for DSB and colorful basic shapes, here is a big, new, non-graffiti related interview with him.

New issue out from HSM Magazine in Osaka, Japan, featuring graffiti from eastern Europe and Japan and interview with Senoyr, Ekin and Daor. More info on their Myspace here.

“Yeah, for me personally I thought I didn’t have style for the first 10 years of writing. I had good characters and a few good pieces but I had it all backwards. I spent more time developing my characters then my letters. If you write then you know letters come first. So I started over in 96. I really took steps backwards to re-develop my approach and a lot of that was mainly because of Wane COD.”

The rightwing goverment have decided to fund a big new buffing campaign on the stations and trainlines in Denmark, beginning Jan. 1st 2010. In the new national traffic settlement, 9 million danish kroner ( approx 1.2 mill Euro ), that originally were intended for noise-reduction purposes, have been set aside to start graffiti removing in Copenhagen alone for the first 12 months. An unknown amount will be used for the rest of the country.
How this small sum of money will make any difference is hard to imagine, most likely there will be one time buff in some areas, leaving fresh new walls (with new intense video-surveillance) for the writers of the city.
More info in the article in danish, here and here and here.
