Benq

Seen in Bucharest 2013


There is also a SERM tag on the left side. I just say it because there is a really nice video with an ERPS, SERM wholecar. 


You can also see Benq and SERM in one of the 1UP videos where they are coloring some metros together with One United Power from Berlin. - Graffiti connects!


Have fun while watching!

Marc Ecko's Getting Up - contents under pressure

Maybe you know what Marc Ecko's Getting UP is. It's a game from February 2006. It's about an amateur graffiti artist known as "Trane". He uses graffiti as a way to protest against the city of "New Radius" where freedom of expression is suppressed by the government.
The game play is pretty easy to understand. It's set up as a non-linear fighting game but the story progresses in a linear fashion. That means you don't have to complete any side missions as in Grand Theft Auto. 
I enjoyed the game when I played it 7 years ago!

Here you can watch the gametailer.

This artwork was sprayed in year 2008, on a wall of a filling station, by Banksy. It shows a girl picking a flower whose bloom is a camera. Michael Doyle form "Julien's Auctions" classyfies this artwork as a sociocritical thing like most of Banksy's illustrations.

How to: Create a Stencil Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of "How to: Create a Stencil".
Last time I showed you how you can make the artwork with GIMP.

After you did that you have to print your motive.

1. Now you have to glue it on something more stable because just the paper will soak through fast while you use it. For example you can use plastic or carton. I took the back of a writing pad.

2. The next step is cutting it out. But be aware of what you'r cutting out! You have to cut out everything you want to see later on the wall. So often it's everything "black" on the paper.



3. When you are done with that take your spray can and go somewhere to test the new stencil. Preferably a legal place ;)

Have Fun!

My Idea

Maybe you wonder how I got the idea to make such pictures.
When I graduated school we had to make an exhibition and there was no specification what kind of art we choose. Because I ever wanted to make something with spray paint in class I decided to use it now. A graffiti piece was to big... so I mixed Streetart with a nice colored background. 
After some time of thinking I got a motive so I started to work.

Damaged Rough - Wholecar

Damaged Rough is a Rapper from Münster in Germany. His song "Wholecar" inspired me when I started to be interested in graffiti. The lyrics are German, but maybe you can understand some things so that you can guess what he is saying. Have fun.

Writer's Lung

Hm.. hope my lung looks like the third one..
