“Toomer also got his big hands in other things besides graffiti. He is part of “Moneytalks” where people are challenged to do all kinds of crazy things for money, even getting spraypainted. “At Venice Beach where we met one delicious little California girl, who didnt mind letting us paint an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini on her.” (Link)

Found this photo in the Raek special in the new issue of Achtung #3, a Hulk wall done by Powr and Raek somewhere in Germany.

The original Hulk wall was done by Bates, Great, Shame and Skone in Copenhagen 2003

May 1st, aka International Workers Day, is always a special day in Copenhagen. Fælledparken is the place to be, everyone goes drinking and partying, always great music and tons of people. Here is a little graffiti photo flashback to May 1st 2008, the official graffiti wall at the AFA stage by The Southside Crew, the cool stage decorations and off course the bombed street after the nightly pirate party…
Happy May 1st, take care of yourself and each other and have a nice one!

That all-time classic graffiti anthem, blast it loud and proud for a fresh start of your weekend!

New book about London graffiti called Crack & Shine.
“Featuring forty of the most exciting and prolific graffiti artists to have lived and painted in London, Crack & Shine is the only London graffiti book ever to be published. Also presenting the work of London-based photographer Will Robson-Scott, Crack & Shine includes a series of over 50 beautifully-composed photographs, created exclusively for the book; giving articulate and vivid insight into the awkward moments of waiting, the apprehension of hiding and the calm and stillness that comes with seeing the world from an altered perspective.”
The book has lots of nice photography by Will Robson-Scottand lots of cool quotes like the one below from Elk:
“When compared to the visual internet presence of current urban artists one realises how times have changed. It really blows my mind how many incredible pieces of art have been painted on Tubes that were not photographed and are lost forever. It’s mad to look back on so many years of our lives that no one knows about.”
