I was lucky enough to know out about the best, most entertaining night of Carnival in all of Cataluyna. In a small town called Torello, 86km from Barcelona, they have a unique night of Carnival where all the guys from the surrounding area dress up as girls. It's called Senyoretes. Spanish guys love dressing up as girls, so it was good. Really good.
Yesterday was a really sunny day so I ran away from studio for an hour or two to paint this little picture in union lane. First time ever doing some real time freehand spraying (the oil-rig). Some kiwi fella named city went into my little window frame and pushed me out into new territory. I had to go over some sexy pirate but I left her face hanging in the sky, because I guess I just have a thing for pirates. I feel like the picture I am trying to paint isn't clear enough without dollar dollar bills flying out of Mr. businessman's briefcase but I didn't have any green paint. Maybe I will go and retroactively add them bills.
I started an offshoot blog so as to not pollute this blog with my doodles. But I will pollute anyways: Go check it out sometime and make me feel special.

So a bunch of of people were rounded up in Montreal and went on a serious mission to wheatpaste/sticker up a glass store front on St.Laurent in Montreal. It was Nuit Blanche. The piece is composed of wheat paste black and white monsters behind a Palestinian-Israeli apartheid wall sticker (who's the monsters???). We put it up on an abandoned modern art gallery which has been taged up by every graffiti artist in Montreal. The cold worked against us and so did some locals. It was too cold for wheatpaste and sticky paper to stick. Everything looked raggedy. To top it all off, the fellow who did his tag up beforehand didn't think he had enough fame time on the spot so he came and ripped off all our work in the night. Ephemeral street art with friends; better than ego tags around town??. Graffiti politics...
We are a collaboration of artists dedicated to street art and all forms of outsider art, but we also like to dabble in other areas like screen printing, photography, video, stop motion and graphic drawing. We have formed this blog to share ideas and inspire creativity.
