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!

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

Exchange sketch with Mosk from Croatia

mega — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 17:24:12 +0000

After the Exchange with the very talented Nemo from Sarajevo we also recieved some sketches from his partner in crime ‘Mosk’… We wanted to go all out with these killer sketches and decided to paint them along the railtracks somewhere in Leeuwarden. This spot is one of our favorite spots to paint but we hadn’t been there since a while…

We had to do some serious gardening to get rid of all the reed and other plants which stood in front of the wall.

The back of the cans come in handy when removing old paint from the wall.

Romeo spend quite some time to get the sketches on the wall. Since both sketches had a different flow, we tried to balance them a bit. He pulled it off very nicely though.

Meanwhile Mega painted 3 b-boy characters next to the pieces and after that we worked together on both pieces.

Eventually we had to rush because it allready was getting dark, but we finished the wall just in time to get good pictures. Thanks Mosk for the killer sketches and we hope you like the outcome… We sure did… check the endresult here after the jump

Coolcats from Sneek

mega — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 21:18:14 +0000

Spring is finally here… this means more time to work on our pieces. This time we took a retro character from an old Dutch clothing brand called Coolcat. We put our names next to it and wanted to paint a bit loose. It’s hard to let go of the standard painting ‘rules’ we practised for years and years. But we’re slowly learning to let things go and discover new angles to make our work more interesting to look at… Check the endresult after the jump >click<

Colorful and decorated

mega — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:38:55 +0000

We were asked to paint something in a local youthcentre. It was in a room where all kind of activities are held for kids from 4 – 8 years old. So we thought something colorful would be nice for them to look at. We did add some characters of the Robots movie in front of the piece… They really liked the wall. Another job wel done….
