PAINTING SOME GRAFF IN GERMANY

One of the best things to do while traveling to another country is to hang out with the locals and paint a nice wall. It's not so much about what you paint, but just the fact that you get to hang out and learn from each other and of course have a good time.

While in Wiesbaden, I got to paint a quick wall with the homie Vyal, our mutual friend Mr. Puppet from Sweden and local artist (by way of Spain) Sermon.  A few pics to retell the story.

This is not Disneyland, actually a little town outside Wiesbaden:

MY ONE DAY STUDIO IN WALES, UK

On my trip to Bristol last week, we were invited by a good friend to spend the day with her and her family at their 300 year old home in Wales for lunch and some down time.

Me and my crew mates Vyal and Werc took her up on the offer and the experience was extremely memorable.

I never expected that Wales was such a beautiful place! Here are a couple of shots to share with you..
