This wall was painted very close to the central trainstation of Leeuwarden city. It’s a very nice spot to do pieces and lots of people see this wall if they travel by train. We decided it was time to put up our crewname again. It involved a lot of measuring first to get the proportions right (this piece is 22 meters wide x 3 meters high), but it’s necessary to make a good piece.

After that was done, it was time to fill in all the letters and background with rollerpaint.

Meanwhile Mega started with 2 characters. It was a good opportunity to test some of the new Molotow colors.

Central station of Leeuwarden in the back.

Cappuccino and Ice cappuccino, a good combination…

Out of this world

mega — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:37:51 +0000

We planned to do this conceptwall for quite a long time, but for some reasons there always came something inbetween. We we’re lucky that for the time of the year (autumn) the weather forecast was pretty good. So we decided it was time to paint the concept.

We rollerpainted the background in a spacy green color and used some colors of the Molotow range to make a glow. After that we rolled the bottompart also, but this time in a pink color. Next it was time to make some fading on the upperpart of the wall with fatcaps. Romeo focussed on the background first and meanwhile Mega painted the character. After that was finished we both focussed on our pieces. Since the wall is not so big we had to keep our pieces relatively simple.

We just finished before dark… Another project done and onto the next one!

Graffiti umbrella

mega — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 22:09:02 +0000

We had some fun customizing our own graffiti umbrella. Romeo came up with the idea of painting an umbrella in graffiti style a while ago. Since it was raining we couldn’t paint outside, so we decided it was about time to pimp the umbrella’s. We never did see a graffiti umbrella before so it was a nice experiment to try.

We even made some footage of the final result.

We like to burn big

Graffiti is all about getting your name up… We started in 1985 and back then we could only dream about making big murals. We didn’t know how to do it and also didn’t have the paint to do it… So we started with small pieces. During the years we got a lot of experience and figured out how to get things done…

We thought it was about time to do an extra large style piece of our names. We did paint large pieces before, but this time we wanted to make style pieces, which are a lot harder to make on a larger scale. The total length of the pieces is approx. 4.5 m high x 45 m long. An extra handicap was that the wall wasn’t flat (see sideview pics below) and there was a canal in front of the wall, so we could not easily check the proportions of the pieces.. All in all we spent 1.5 days on the wall. We’re satisfied with the endresult…. check the total wall here… > click <

We dedicated this wall to King Robbo… Get well soon!

Masters in a bottle

This wall was done with Retro from Leeuwarden. Normally we’re not really into realistic paintings but it was fun to try something else for a change.
The wall was done in our hometown Sneek. Soon the ‘Sneekweek’ will start. This is a very well known sailing event in Holland

This means lots of tourists and partytime for a week in the citycentre. These parties go with the consumption of lots of alcohol. This is why we painted our pieces into wine bottles.
The boat you see in the skyline is the ‘Sneeker Pan’ (a so called ‘Skutsje’).

Step in the arena festival Eindhoven 2011

mega — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 15:08:21 +0000

The Step in the Arena festival 2011 was a huge succes. The line up of the artists was very good and we were glad to be part of it again. The flyer of the event was done in primary printcolors (CMYK), so we thought it would be nice to do our pieces also in these colors. A parrot would colourwise fit perfectly in combination with the colourscheme. We added a little twist by making the parrot in pirate style. On the right there’s a piece by Jiroe from the Heavy Artillery crew. Thanks to Stonie B for the actionphoto’s. The final wall can be viewed here >click<

Skrift festival Leeuwarden

mega — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:20:04 +0000

We went to a 2 day jam in Leeuwarden called “Skrift” (Frisian word for writing). Unfortunately the weather expectations where real worse: 2 days of continuous rainshowers and heavy wind. But the first day was mostly dry. We managed to squeeze this wall out… The endresult could have been better if it wasn’t so wet on the second day… Better luck next time! For the endresult click here

This is how we roll…

Painting a big blockbuster piece with rollerpaint is allways fun. Problem is to find a suitable spot for those pieces. This spot is located next to a railroad track, so very readable from the passing trains.
Most people think it’s easy to do blockbusters, but actually it’s more difficult to make a good blockbuster than a regular piece. All the proportions of the letters have to be right, otherwise it doesn’t look good. Check the outcome of the wall after the jump
